ENGINE DETAIL 1
The Oliver Super 66 features a Waukesha-Oliver 4-cylinder engine with a modest displacement of 144ci (2.4L) and a 7:1 compression ratio, which supports efficient operation at a rated RPM of 2000. With a bore and stroke of 3.50x3.75 inches, it provides good torque characteristics for agricultural tasks. However, the oil bath air cleaner may require more maintenance compared to modern filtration systems, potentially impacting air intake efficiency.

ENGINE DETAIL 2
The Oliver Super 66 features a robust Waukesha-Oliver diesel engine with a moderate displacement of 2.4L, offering a compression ratio of 16:1 that enhances fuel efficiency and torque at low RPMs, ideal for agricultural applications. The oil bath air cleaner ensures optimal filtration and prolongs engine life, though maintenance may be slightly more involved compared to dry filters. At a rated RPM of 2000, the tractor achieves a balance between power output and operational efficiency, making it suitable for lighter farming tasks but potentially limiting for high-demand applications like heavy tillage.

OLIVER SUPER 66 ENGINES
The Oliver Super 66 tractor is powered by a Waukesha-Oliver 2.4L 4-cylinder engine, available in both gasoline and diesel variants. The gasoline engine typically offers quicker start-up and higher RPM performance, while the diesel variant provides superior torque and fuel efficiency, making it ideal for heavy-duty applications. Key considerations include the initial cost difference in fuel types and maintenance requirements; diesel engines generally have higher longevity but may involve higher upfront costs.

TRANSMISSION
The Oliver Super 66 features an unsynchronized 6-speed forward and 2-speed reverse transmission, which may require the operator to match engine speeds for smooth gear changes, presenting a potential learning curve for less experienced operators. Its dry disc clutch provides reliable engagement but may necessitate more frequent adjustments compared to hydraulic clutches in heavy-duty applications. Ideal for lighter agricultural tasks, the Super 66 offers maneuverability but may not perform as well under continuous heavy stress or frequent directional changes.

OLIVER SUPER 66 TRANSMISSION
The Oliver Super 66 features a 6-speed unsynchronized transmission, allowing for versatility in speed selection but requiring the operator to match engine and gear speeds manually during shifts, which can be challenging for less experienced drivers. This transmission design can offer a smoother operation when used correctly but may lead to increased wear on components if improperly engaged. Ideal for applications requiring frequent speed adjustments, such as field work or loader operations, the unsynchronized gearing may pose challenges in hilly terrain where gear changes need to be made more frequently and swiftly.

MECHANICAL
The Oliver Super 66 features a two-wheel drive system, providing adequate traction for light to moderate agricultural tasks. Its open operator station allows for visibility and comfort but exposes operators to environmental elements. Optional power steering enhances maneuverability, making it beneficial for users who require improved handling in tight spaces.

OLIVER SUPER 66 TIRES
The Oliver Super 66 features 15-inch front and 38-inch rear agricultural tires, providing improved traction and stability on various terrains. The tire size ratio (5.00-15 front to 10-38 rear) enhances maneuverability while maintaining balance, making it suitable for both fieldwork and light hauling. However, the smaller front tires may limit load-carrying capabilities and steering precision compared to larger front configurations, particularly in heavy-duty applications.

DIMENSIONS & TIRES
The Oliver Super 66 tractor, with a weight range of 3943 to 4050 pounds, strikes a balance between stability and maneuverability, making it suitable for various agricultural tasks. Its tire specifications, featuring front tires of 5.00-15 and rear tires of 10-38, suggest a potential for good traction and flotation in field conditions, though heavier loads could challenge its stability in uneven terrain. Operators should consider optimal weight distribution and tire inflation for enhanced performance in specific applications such as plowing or crop hauling.
