ENGINE DETAIL
The Oliver OC-3 features a Hercules 4-cylinder engine with a moderate displacement of 133 ci (2.2L), offering a low compression ratio of 6.67:1 which may limit its power output and efficiency, particularly in high-demand applications. Its rated RPM of 1700 indicates suitability for steady, lower-speed operations, making it ideal for tasks such as plowing and material handling. The electric starter and liquid cooling system add convenience and reliability, but the limited coolant capacity of 11 quarts (10.4L) may require attention in hotter operational environments.

OLIVER OC-3 TRANSMISSION
The Oliver OC-3 features a 3-speed gear transmission, providing versatility for various agricultural tasks. The advantages include improved control over traction and speed, which is essential for different terrains and implements. However, the limited speed range may challenge operations requiring higher transport speeds, making it less efficient for long-distance movement compared to modern tractors with advanced transmission options.
MECHANICAL
The Oliver OC-3 is a crawler tractor designed for versatility in various terrain applications, featuring robust ground engagement due to its crawler track system, which offers superior traction and stability. The open operator station increases operator visibility and comfort but may expose the operator to weather conditions and debris. Ideal for agricultural and construction tasks, it's essential to consider the maintenance needs associated with crawler tracks to ensure optimal performance.
