The tractor is clearly either a 60 or a 70 with the "Standard" factory 
axle. I put "Standard" in quotes because that was a term used for 
industrial/utility tractors that were not adjustable width front axles. 
Most Olivers of the 70, Fleetline (66-88), Super (66-99), three digit 
(770) and four digit (1550 up) were adjustable front axle row crop 
models, with few fixed axles. The utility and wheatland models were 
equipped with fixed axles. 
The Super 44, Super 55 and 550 and the 60, 66, Super 66 and 660 
had 4 cylinder engines. The other tractors of those series and most 
later ones had 6 cylinder engines. If this tractor has a 6 cylinder 
engine (the length looks like it could be right in the pictures) then it 
is an Oliver 70 and if it has a 4 cylinder engine then it is a 60. The 
80 and 90 did have 6 cylinder engines too, but I am nearly certain this 
is NOT one of those because there are other cues. The rear wheels look 
like mid Fleetline series steel dished wheel, a common swap out for the 
70 in the Northeast, especially if the tractor came on steel originally.
