New York diesel oliver March 15, 2011 12:52AM
I heard a while back that burt stannard is helping a guy with a diesel oliver tractor. I also heard the the owner had to give burt some money to get the tractor started. I hope that we will see another new tractor out this year but i also hope that the guy didn't give burt that money with no receipt. I think this tractor could be the one that Dan Thomas is helping out as well, after all Dan and Burt use to be partners. Does anybody know anything about this.

My quess is it must be pretty good. Old ron santimore thinks he is going grand national pulling and his tractor probably isn't even at burt's anymore. Keep sending him money ron he will get it done. As far as frenchie ron will never catch him

i am the one who owns the oliver you are asking about the chassis is 90 percent complete as a rolling chassis motor will be at machine shop very soon trying to decide if im going to set it up as a superfarm or limited pro and yes i have had bumps along the way and have been very frustrated!!! i have stepped back and regrouped my thoughts and ideas and even if i have to finish this build through the summer and winter i will come out strong and looking good in 2012 i hope to see you all at the track and will be in harrisbugh at the keystone nationals!!!!!!!

yes i have pictures and i was really thinking about the 3208 but i might go with the hercules straight 6 for a few reasons its lighter,more room to work under hood and the 478 hercules was in the 2150 which is the same frame as the 2255 so i could get down to thwe limited pro stock weight with a p pump and 4 inch turbo im hopping to get a shortblock done and in tractor by this summer i might need to regroup from my spending and finish this coming winter i do have pictures and if you wanna come to argyle ny your welcome to come see it

There is a 2150 with a Hercules for sale in Pa, the owners name is Jeff, it has been advertised on this site and YTMag. He had some extra motor parts that might be for sale. I don't think he has pulled it very much, but it looks pretty decent and he is a very good to talk to about tractors.

The 8.3 cummins is also an option and has a lot of potential. We have one going in our SF for this season.

im building a 2150 with 478 hercules limited pro class with a pump and big turbo or p pump with 3x4 turbo would like to do the minimal like cam,girdle plate,some head work and get it on the track was wondering what that would get me up to for horse power and going to a bigger piston to get my cubic inches up from 478 to atleast 515-520 looking to have fun but dont wanna be cheap and ruin a good block by not doing the build smart
