WOOSTER, Ohio – A diverse lineup of tractors, farm equipment, parts and collectibles drew bidders to the 2026 Hart-Parr Oliver Collectors Association (HPOCA) National Summer Show Consignment Auction on June 26 at the Wayne County Fairgrounds. Conducted live and online by Ben Higgins Realty & Auction Co., the 205-lot sale featured a strong emphasis on Oliver equipment while also offering a variety of classic and newer farm-related items. Highlights included tractors, parts, memorabilia, farm toys and even a rare Oliver outboard motor, giving collectors and enthusiasts plenty to add to their collections.

Leading the sale at $16,250 was a White American 60 4WD tractor with 3,500 hours. It was equipped with a four-cylinder Cummins diesel engine, a White 1170 loader with bucket and canopy. It wore 12.4-24 front tires and 18.4-34 rear at 90 percent tread. The good-running tractor had a new pinion shaft on the front axle, but the seller noted it needed a driveshaft, leaving the front-wheel drive inoperable.

The second-highest at $11,400 was offered for a 1969 Oliver 2050 tractor, one of only 383 produced. It showed 4,520 hours on a working original tachometer, although actual hours could not be verified. It was powered by a turbocharged 2150 engine installed in the 1980s, and featured hydraulics, dual PTO, three-point hitch with auxiliary cylinders, and fender-mounted fuel tanks. The tractor had been used the previous spring to pull a 25-foot field cultivator. The seller noted the PTO would not disengage, the drive clutch occasionally remained engaged, and it was missing both battery box covers and the PTO cover.

Another 16 vintage and newer tractors were also auctioned, including a one-owner 1967 Oliver 1650 diesel that remained in daily use. Equipped with a Dunham Lehr loader, dual-speed 540/1000 PTO, dual rear remotes, and original paint, it brought $9,500. Bidding went to $6,250 on a 1956 Oliver Super 88 gas tractor with a newly rebuilt engine, while a restored, show-ready Oliver 77 Standard got $5,000. Among the others, a largely original Cockshutt 50 gas tractor showing 4,428 hours and equipped with one remote hydraulic changed hands at $3,750.

Farm equipment brought more modest prices. Among the offerings was a 15-by-7-foot hay wagon on Oliver 5024 running gear that fetched $575. Meanwhile, an Oliver two-row, three-point corn planter with fertilizer attachment and an Oliver 7-feet pull-type disc on steel transport wheels each landed $400. Later, an Oliver 5012 running gear with a gravity box hammered at $280.

Three pieces of heavy equipment also crossed the block. Leading the group was a 1958 Oliver OC-6D diesel crawler, which sold for $2,600 despite not running. It featured an Oliver Waukesha six-cylinder diesel engine with fewer than 1,000 hours on a complete engine overhaul before being parked several years ago. An Oliver Industrial 880 equipped with a Crossfire backhoe, push blade, dual rear wheels and heavy front weights brought $1,175. In a different vein, a Hercules G4800 six-cylinder natural gas power unit with just 185 hours, mounted on a steel frame with a Goulds water pump and running gear, rounded out the group at $700.

Parts offerings were extensive and ranged from small components to engines. A pair of Oliver 16.9-34 tires with pressed steel centers and nine-bolt rims, taken off an American 60, struck $450. Coming close at $410 was a pair of small-frame Oliver fenders. Bidding went to $375 on an Oliver 550 remote valve, while a Continental four-cylinder gas engine, removed from a Massey combine, went for just $100.

Memorabilia was similarly varied and drew strong interest. The category’s top seller at $2,200 was a circa 1975 8-by-4-foot double-sided, lighted White Farm Equipment dealership sign mounted on a 12-foot steel post. Sourced from a Central Ohio dealership, it showed fading on one side but remained a standout piece. Not far behind, at $1,750, was a 4-by-5½ foot, original Oliver farm machinery single-side metal sign, originally intended for display on a dealership building.

Other notable memorabilia included a USA-made Oliver Keystone Sales & Service clock, which sold for $675, and a circa 1950s Oliver Corp. shop manual housed in a heavy Buchanan binder that brought $110. Among two promotional hats was an Oliver safari hard cap paired with a dealership promotional yardstick, grabbed for $75.

Farm toys set an active pace early in the sale, with over five dozen offered. Leading the pack at $310 was a custom pedal tractor wagon featuring an Oliver green metal frame and wood slat deck. Right behind at $300 was a 1:18-scale Chevy White Farm Equipment sales truck branded to Paul Miller Implements of Collins, Ohio.

Other strong sellers included a 1:16-scale White 4-225 Field Boss articulated tractor, which brought $270, and a 1:16-scale White 9700 combine with grain head that sold for $210, despite some water damage to the box. An unusual finish came with a pewter 1:43-scale Oliver Chilled Plow limited edition model, picked up for only $20.

Perhaps the most unusual piece of the entire auction was a rare Oliver 6-hp outboard boat motor, complete with its original Oliver fuel tank, ultimately selling for $520. It rounded out diverse offerings that stretched from water’s edge to the field, showcasing a fine range of Oliver-related equipment, collectibles and memorabilia.
