That 70 would be from 1937-1948. That same tractor was offered in Canada as a Cockshut and the only difference was cream colored wheels instead of red. That guy likes my favorite truck and tractor. I wish I could drop by with you one day. I know a guy in this area who is seriously into Olivers. He's got the dealer signs up on his barn and has at least one of anything Oliver built...even a combine! They were special tractors from an era when all tractors were great.
Never got his name except for his middle name ,,he said it was Oliver. far as know and I have no reason to not believe him,,It's Oliver.

He told me that that Oliver 1946 was the first year for 70 octane fuel..
