Ive never seen an Oliver backhoe in my life, Olivers are a rare breed in south Alabama, these pics were taken in the small town of Clio AL in Barbour County

grayrider · Oct 13, 2022

Actually the backhoe is branded as a White, had Oliver on my mind

Clio AL. is where Hall of Fame baseball pitcher and 300 game winner Don Sutton was from.

I thought he was from Molino FL, north of Pensacola. I know the youth league ballparks are named after him there and I used to here him talk about Molino when doing Braves broadcasting

(quoted from post at 15:03:06 10/13/22) I thought he was from Molino FL, north of Pensacola. I know the youth league ballparks are named after him there and I used to here him talk about Molino when doing Braves broadcasting

I can vouch for that as there are Welcome to Molino, Hometown of Don Sutton signs coming into the town.
He evidently grew up there before being signed by the Dodgers.

But was born in Clio AL.

Looks like they just walked out and locked the doors one day.

After a certain point in time White started putting their name on most of the farm equipment companies they had bought including Cockshutt, Oliver and Minneapolis Moline. The old names eventually disappeared.

Ten four thats good information Double07, I remember hearing him on a broadcast of a Braves game long
time ago taking about Molino FL and having relatives still in the Brewton AL area which is about 35 miles
north of Molino. I live about 45 miles east of Brewton, Don Sutton was a favorite of mine, Ive got several of
his baseball cards from my youth when you used to could buy a pack of gum that came with several cards,
got thousands of baseball cards and football too from my younger days.

The grass is kept mowed and trimmed around everything so it doesn't look totally abandoned. I wonder what goodies might be inside the old dealer shop
