Hi, Ilive in S E Mn also, got 3 olivers 1650 1550 and a Super 55. I farmed with the two big ones, now I work off the farm and recently bought the 55, it needs work but I've wanted one for a long time.

i live an hour south of minnesota in north east iowa. speaking of minnisota any of you attending the root river show in springvalley because oliver is featured this year.

Where is spring valley? I love about an hour north of Minneapolis / st Paul, we have ten so far in our collection. Wasn't a very popular brand of tractor up this way.
 

[jordan hackman]

spring valley itself is about 10 or so miles north of the iowa border on hwy 63. however the show grounds are north of spring valley on 63 right next door to the deer creek speedway. hope to bring some of our own this year, problem is bringing them there. we will atleast bring our super 99 GM to the show and maybe the 88 diesels.

I have a fully restored 990 and a very nice 2255. I live in Grand Forks ND, 300 miles NW of Mpls.

If your an hour north of the Cities, then you surely had to have known of Hinckley Machine- everyone I have met north of the Cities dealt with them at one time. As for me, I'm from Goodhue, MN- just southeast of the metro area.
 

[Galen Houk]

I live 50 miles West of Minneapolis. Olivers come and go around here but right now I have a 77, 77 orchard, 1750G, 1755G, 1850FWA, 1855G, 1855D blown, 1855FWA, 1950, 1950FWA. More coming.

Thanks

So is there an Oliver show in SEMN -- We are 70 west of Mpls and maybe could bring Jim Clark's 990 that we purchased--- it is the one that was driven from ocean to ocean -- and Fairbanks to the Mexican border!!!!
 

[jordan hackman]

[jordan hackman]
