1964 - 1969

In 1964 Oliver sent a total of four 1850 tractors to Nebraska for testing. Diesel and gasoline versions of the standard two-wheel drive were included, along with one each of the diesel and gasoline-powered four-wheel-drive tractors. While actually introduced in 1964, the 1850 tractor was fully launched for the 1965 season. The gasoline style delivered over 77 drawbar horsepower with the two-wheel drive; these tabulations are included in Test No. 875. No. 876 illustrates the 1850 gasoline model with a four-wheel-drive option, and it delivered over 86 drawbar horsepower. The Oliver 1850 was available with many new options, including a fully-enclosed cab. Another important option was the large fender tanks. Gasoline models were ordinarily priced at about $8,000, but optional LP-gas equipment was available for an additional $400. Fully hydraulic power steering came as standard equipment, along with the choice of Hydra-Power Drive or the Over/Under Hydraul-Shift system. Standard tire equipment included 18.4-34 rear tires. With the acquisition of Oliver by White Motors, Cockshutt of Canada also came into the fold. For some years, Oliver tractors were painted red instead of green and given a set of Cockshutt decals. Essentially, this was the only difference between many of the models, including this 1850 Cockshutt Wheatland tractor. It was available with virtually all the options and features of the comparable Oliver 1850. The 1850 Diesel used a Perkins six-cylinder engine rated at 2,400 rpm, and carrying a 352 ci displacement. Bore and stroke dimensions were 3 7/8×5 inches
