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.

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.

TRANSMISSION
The Oliver Super 99 tractor features a 6-speed forward and 2-speed reverse gearbox, allowing for versatile speed selection suitable for various agricultural tasks. Its 355.6mm dry disc clutch provides reliable engagement but may pose challenges in extreme conditions due to limited thermal capacity. In high-load scenarios, operators should be mindful of clutch wear to maintain optimal performance and minimize downtime.

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.
