I have recently seen two posts elsewhere using the term OC4 highlift; is this the same as an OC46?


Thanks for any reply educating me.

Yes, the same as a front end loader. Some local terminology there - took me some time to get used to that term also. It's frequently used around here in NW Pennsylvania, though never heard it used in Ohio.
My gramps Howard van Driest was Experimental Engineer at Cletrac and Oliver Corporation. After the plant closed, he and my uncle started an excavating business, initially using Cletrac and Oliver Crawler tractors.

We hear some different descriptions of parts or tractors, like one day someone called and needed JACKS for his OC-4, it took me quite some time to figure out what he needed, what he really needed was Hydraulic Cylinders for his loader.<p>What other descriptions did you hear, let us know.

It gets confusing. Ray, Moline did refer to the trailing hydraulic cylinder as a remote jack. Hydraulic cylinders as used in dumo trucks have many names for the parts and I went to Latin American several times for Dana World Trade and my interpeter who also worked for Dana sais there were 9 different words used to describe piston rings.
