Oliver – other models: from the Hart-Parr 70 and Oliver 60/70/90 to the David Brown and Fiat imports 1255 and 500, 13 to 109 kW
This page gathers the Oliver tractors the register could not assign to a named range – from the early models 60, 70, 77, 90 and the orchard tractor 66 Orchard to the model carried as Hart-Parr 70, recalling the Hart-Parr Company of Charles City, Iowa, absorbed into Oliver in the 1929 merger. Later models such as the 1255 and 1465 derive from David Brown compact tractors from England, sold by Oliver under its own name, and the Oliver 500 from a Fiat design.

The register lists here 15 versions with 13 to 108.9 kW, PTO outputs from 18 to 148 hp, displacements from 2,523 to 7,260 cm³ from three- to eight-cylinders, unladen weights from 1,680 to 7,442 kg and widths from 1,429 to 2,070 mm.
The span from the light orchard machine to the heavy field tractor shows how broad Oliver's line-up was between the 1930s and 1960s, supplemented by bought-in compact models with which Oliver entered the then-growing segment of small farm and part-time tractors in the early 1960s. Oliver itself was absorbed into White Farm Equipment in 1960.
On older Oliver models, the condition of the engine and carburettor, clutch and gearbox and rust on sheet metal and castings count; on the David Brown and Fiat imports such as the 1255 or 500, the availability of parts also matters, running more through the English or Italian compact-tractor market than through classic Oliver channels.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
