HI I HAVE A OLIVER TRACK LOADER WITH A HERCULES JXD 6 CLY GAS ENGINE I AM TRING TO FIND OUT WHAT MODEL IT IS I  THANK IT A 1953 BUT NOT SURE I NEED A HYD CONTROL VALVE .THE VALVE MOUNTS TO THE HYD TANK AND THE VALVE RETURN IS STRIGHT INTO THE TANK AND SEALED BY A ORING CAN SOME PLEASE HELP ME THANKS LEE

With the JXD gas engine, it would be and OC 12.  There should be a serial number plate with model number on the dash panel right in front of the operators seat.  If it is missing there would be four rivit holes. There should also be an ID plate on the engine. The serial number for it would help to id the year and model.

If this is a 1953 tractor the serial number will be on the engine side of the firewall. If it is later tractor an a model OC-12 the serial number should be on the dash. Ware built the loaders They are still in business. Questions?

Please don't lock your caps guys --- it makes it very difficult to read.

Hello Lee,

You have a late model B crawler built by Oliver. The model of the loader is also B, built by Ware Machine Works.

Ware is not in business any more ( I guess Sweibert did not know that) We bought Ware machine Works leftover stock and all their manuals.

The serial and model tag should be on the firewall.
