ENGINES OVERVIEW
The Oliver Super 99 tractor features a General Motors 3.5L 3-cylinder diesel engine and options for Waukesha-Oliver 4.9L engines in both 6-cylinder diesel and gasoline configurations. The advantages include robust torque delivery and high fuel efficiency from the diesel variant, while the gasoline engine may offer easier starting and lower initial cost. However, challenges include potential maintenance complexity with the diesel powertrain and the need for proper handling of high-load applications to maximize performance.

ENGINE DETAIL 1
The Oliver Super 99 features a General Motors 3-71 blower diesel engine, offering robust torque at lower RPMs with a compression ratio of 17:1, enhancing fuel efficiency and power delivery for agricultural tasks. Its 3-cylinder configuration, liquid cooling, and oil bath air cleaner improve engine longevity and performance, ideal for continuous field operations. However, the 1675 RPM rated speed may limit high-speed applications, positioning this tractor well for heavy-duty work rather than fast transport.

ENGINE DETAIL 2
The Oliver Super 99 features a Waukesha-Oliver 6-cylinder diesel engine with a displacement of 302 cubic inches (4.9L), providing robust power delivery suitable for heavy-duty agricultural tasks. With a square bore and stroke of 4.00x4.00 inches (102x102 mm) and a high compression ratio of 15.5:1, it offers efficient combustion and performance at a rated RPM of 1675, balancing torque and RPM for optimal field work scenarios. However, the oil bath air cleaner may necessitate more maintenance in dusty environments, and the 12-volt starting system provides reliable ignition but requires attention to battery health for consistent performance.

ENGINE DETAIL 3
The Oliver Super 99, powered by a Waukesha-Oliver 6-cylinder gasoline engine, features a balanced bore and stroke of 4.00 inches (102 mm), optimizing power delivery and engine efficiency. With a displacement of 302 ci (4.9 L) and a rated RPM of 1675, it provides substantial torque for heavy-duty applications, making it suitable for tasks such as plowing and tilling. However, operators should note its liquid-cooled system may require additional maintenance compared to air-cooled alternatives, particularly in extreme weather conditions.

OLIVER SUPER 99 ENGINES
The Oliver Super 99 is powered by a General Motors 3.5L 3-cylinder diesel or a Waukesha-Oliver 4.9L 6-cylinder option, providing versatility in fuel choice, while the diesel variants offer greater torque for heavy-duty applications. With a 30-gallon fuel tank, it ensures extended operational periods, ideal for large farming tasks without frequent refueling. However, the 3-cylinder engine may struggle under extremely heavy loads compared to the robust performance of the 6-cylinder models, potentially limiting its utility in exhaustive farming scenarios.

OLIVER SUPER 99 TRANSMISSION
The Oliver Super 99 tractor features a 6-speed gear transmission, providing operators with a versatile range of speed options for efficient field work. The 6-speed system enhances torque management, allowing for better adaptability in varying terrains and loads. However, this complexity may require more maintenance and operator training compared to simpler gear setups.
MECHANICAL
The Oliver Super 99 features a two-wheel drive layout, benefiting operators with lower maintenance costs and increased fuel efficiency, although it may struggle with traction in slippery conditions. The manual steering can enhance driver control but may result in increased physical strain during extended use. Its disc brakes provide superior stopping power compared to traditional drum brakes, promoting safety in varied terrain, but may require more frequent maintenance.
