There is an ad for a 1972 OC46 on MarketBook.ca.  It is in Youngsville Pa and they are asking $8500 for it.  The contact number is 740 393 1879.  From the pictures it is a nice looking machine,  if it was close to me I would be all over it as it is a very rare Oliver Loader! AS you all know there were no Oliver loaders made in 1972, so this is not a 1972 and it is not an OC 46!  It is an Oliver OC 156!! a 29,000 lb machine!! The loader version of the OC 15.  Landis has one and by his information there were only 38 of these made.  So I thought some of you in Pa may be interested!!

Youngsville, Pa is not too far from me, but that number comes back to Mt. Vernon, Ohio.

Looks like a nice machine! It's got the late Ware loader with the lower hinge points for the boom like the one on our OC-126. Well designed loaders - I would have to say better than any competition at the time.

It looks like Trucks Truks Trux is located in Mt. Vernon, Ohio. The machine may actually be sitting in Youngsville, PA.

In the ad they say it is in Youngsville, but that is all I know.  It looks like a Nice machine and sure would be a great addition to my collection, but at 3000 plus miles away is just too far.  They obviously don't know much about it so maybe a good deal could be made by some close.

They have been advertising that machine for a long time. I wonder if anyone who reads this forum has seen it?

Me, I've seen it. Had it for sale for several years. I found it at his brother's place years before that. Needs attention, I believe it'll still run. Track chains are worn pretty good. Sits in Youngsville, Pa. Ida bought it by now but his price is a little salty for me!

I thought you would have known about it Bob, and agree it is not priced to sell.  I hear now the started no longer works and there are no batteries in to so likely has not run in a while.
