I grew up in a Case/John Deere family, but I always loved Olivers!

I think it was meant to work in an apple orchard, so that may be the reason.

My wife is from Mt. Pleasant IA where they have old threshers every year. I want to go one of these days.

Love Olivers but learned to drive with a clutch on a Ford 8N. Might be one of my all time favorite machines.
