I was born in 48 and I always wanted a 48 Oliver 88. Went to a lot of sales but thought I couldn't afford one or they went too high. About 5 years ago I saw one advertised in my FB spokesman about 20 mi away-went and looked at it and bought it. The local banker was a tractor guy and he died that Summer and they had a tractor ride in his honor. Went on it and had a good time but realized I like tractor pulling better. So it sat covered up in the shed until this 3rd of July-hooked up the battery and nothing. Pulled it down by the road and left it set there for 3 days and then pushed it in my shop. I saw a guy had a ad in the YT ads that wanted to buy one. Thought about it for a week and finally called him and put a new battery in it. He and his wife came right out and looked at it-we agreed on a price and yesterday he and his son brought a pick-up and trailer and got it. I really have mixed emotions about selling it but now I can do my other projects. Well I lost my 88 but have 3 new friends from Illinois-Larry, his nice wife and son Brian.---Tee
