Oliver 500

Last Updated: June 2024

Overview

The Oliver 500 is a vintage tractor that was produced as a result of a collaboration between Oliver and David Brown. It comes with a choice of either a 2.5L 4-cylinder diesel or gasoline engine provided by David Brown and is capable of delivering 35 horsepower. Equipped with a manual steering and a gear transmission featuring 6 forward and 2 reverse gears, it is built to tackle a variety of tasks. With a wheelbase of 75.25 inches and operating weights ranging between 4094 to 4179 pounds, depending on the engine type, it presents a sturdy build for its era. Given its age and design, it is likely to have been used primarily for agriculture purposes, though the specific category is not provided. Operating at a rated RPM of 2000, it has a 154 ci engine displacement and a bore and stroke of 3.50x4.00 inches. The height of the hood is 51.75 inches, and the overall dimensions give it a relatively small footprint on the farm.
