Oliver OC96 ????

[doctorsign]

I was told that was what my machine is, - touble is I have never seen any thing ever listed or that model being talked about on ANY other discussion board. Does anyone have any info on this machine. I have owned it for about 12 years and now it is due some major engine work. Any and all info on this machine would be appreciated. TIA

The OC-96 is a very nice machine and easy to run. We had one when I was little and I think I could operate it when I was 4 or 5 years old. Took no physical effort whatsoever!

I know they have a 4 cylinder direct-injection Hercules diesel - not sure what model off hand. That engine started quickly, but I believe they have a weakness in the crankshaft. At least ours broke one.

They are basically an upgraded AD loader, but with power shift, a torque converter, counter-rotating tracks.

I would like to get another one someday.
