[AT] Special tractor tools redux! Oliver and maybe others

[Grant Brians]

A quick note about special tractor tools from here in Hollister, California. 
A few years ago I bought an Oliver Super 55 loader that was quite tired 
indeed. When I realized that the transmission needed rebuilding, I read my 
Oliver tractor manual (unlike most factory manuals it is amazingly complete) 
and decided t take on the task. I manufactured the Oliver special tools for 
disasembly and assembly. As a result I have had them for a number of years. 
If anyone on the list has the need to do such a job, I would be willing to 
loan them out. They may well fit other models of tractor transmissions as 
well, I do not know.
     I just thought I would make the offer to the list.

p.s. Here we are totally under the gun trying to get all of the field work, 
repairs, irrigation, sales etc. as we head through the midsummer vegetable 
season. Potato harvest has started, Cucumbers are going well, greens are 
continuing and our fall/winter plantings are vigorously under way. I just 
acquired more old irrigation equipment and am having to repair it to get the 
new ranch irrigated.
