Oliver

James Oliver, in 1857, received his first patent for his chilled plow. These plows had a very hard outer skin and were very dependable through heavy sticky soils. Oliver soon became known as the “Plowmaker of the World”.  Oliver then began experimenting with tractors on his own, this resulted in the Oliver Chilled Plow Tractor. Once Oliver merged with Hart-Parr a new line of tractors were introduced. With Olivers Chilled Plow tractor and Hart-Parr’s existing knowledge and tractors their tractor line grew quickly. Oliver Farm Equipment Corporation, later known as Oliver Corporation, was formed in April of 1929 with the merger of four companies. After the merger of these four companies Oliver was able to supply farmers with the tractors, planting tools, tillage tools, and harvesting machines they would need.

history

In April of 1929 with the merge of Oliver Chilled Plow Company, Hart-Parr Company, Nicholas & Shepard Company, and American Seeding Machine Company, Oliver Farm Equipment Corporation was formed. In 1944 the Oliver Farm Equipment Company became the Oliver Corporation. Oliver Corporation was acquired by White Motors in 1960 and in 1976 the last tractor to come off the assembly line and bare the Oliver name was the 2255.
