Father and Son Restoration of Oliver Row Crop
This is my newly restored 1951 Oliver Row Crop 77. The Oliver 77 was the first tractor my Dad and I each drove as kids on the farm. So naturally we restored this one together. We did it over the summer of 2016. I learned so much from my Dad during the restoration. He’s had Olivers & Whites his whole life and is a walking encyclopedia of them. A few of the highlights of this 77 are power steering, dual hydraulics, and we custom fit flat top fenders from a 1650 to the 77 to add our own touch. We recently purchased an Oliver 770 to restore together, and can’t wait to get started. Father/son time doesn’t get any better!

What a beautiful project! I am working on a John Deere MT with my Granddaughter, what a wonderful experience for both of us.
You guys sure did a good job restoring your tractor. I really like the newer styled fenders on it. Congrats..
I restored a 1954 Ferguson TEA2085 last year. It was a lot of fun and expense, but worth it.
Hello
Great job I just purchased a 1949 77 Row Crop that looks similar to yours on the trailer. Lot of rust and bumps but it runs and travels great. Looking forward to working on it. One thing I like is you went with the white paint scheme. Although mine is the green and red I wanted to use white which I like better. I know its a personal preference and probably not the true colors for that model but yours looks great. Thanks for the motivation!!!
