Oliver Superior No.26 Grain Drill

[dominiquer60]

The Stannard Family in Stamford, NY has a Oliver Superior No.26 Grain Drill for sale. It had been in a barn for 50-60 years and although it has been outside for 6-8 weeks, it is still in nice shape. It has a beautiful wooden box and still has the Oliver decal and paint.

The tongue is set up for a tractor. There seems to be parts missing from the underside, this is the type of drill that does not have discs to open the ground. It seeds 11 rows at a time but does not seem to have all the mechanisms below. I don’t know enough about this type of drill to say how it works or what exactly is missing.

I do know that the wood box and paint are in nice shape and this could be a nice addition to a collection, it could be fixed up if one has the parts or could be purchased for parts. I have more pictures available if you would like to see them email me, marczake@hotmail.com. I can vouch for it formerly being in a barn and the paint being nice because I bought a cultivator from these folks yesterday and took the pictures myself. I just hate to see good equipment in the weather or turned into a flower box, so I offered to post this for them.

The Stannards can be reached at (607) 538-3008 if you want to talk to them about price or seeing it in person.

hi erika, i have the same drill. the rear box with the gears is for fertilizer. it actually did have discs but the whole undercarriage seems to be just about gone. doesn’t seem like a good parts drill, but you never know. i share your passion for saving that stuff. seems every time i “clean up” around here, sooner or later i need what i junked.
