Wife and I went to Maquoketa, Ia after work and looked at a 1850 Oilver and ended up buying it for $3500. Needs a good bath and some TLC and it might be a decent old horse. Yoke that attaches to tie rod ends is broke, be the first thing fixed. Anybody near there interested in hauling it home (80 miles), shoot me a email with a price. Chris

I am looking around here for another tractor for once my B is done (to my sadisfaction, im not hurring anything). Ive found some odd jobs but am broke as usual, so it'll take a while before i can get another machine. Well-i got to start somewhere!!
 
Can't help you haul 'er, but if you ask me, and you didn't, in my opinion you got one of the deals of the century. That is quite a find, especially for that price. Unheard of...at least for me. Goshhh dang. Congratulations. Can you tell I'm grinning from ear to ear for you? If you can't, I am. A few years back I saw a 1800 NF gasser setting in the back of a dealer and stopped to take a look. It wasn't the Oli I was looking for and needed major work. As I was walking around looking, the guy comes out and shoots me a price, and it wasn't no $3,500. And if I had offered $3,500, he'd have probably sicked the shop dog on me. And then I'd still have had to haul it a couple hundred miles home after getting bitten and chewed up. So, can you see how I'm grinning from ear to ear for you. Nice.
 
You did GOOOOOD !! You may as well get that batwing in the picture to go with it , I bet they want $3500 for it !
 
Hey Chris, nice buy! Always wanted that style of Ollie. If I was still in Illinois I'd come over and gawk at it. I used to use a 1600G and those are nice tractors.
 
Great buy. Looks like the old girl still has a lot of spunk left in her. Had a nephew in Bowling Green, Mo who bought a tractor in Illinois last fall and drove it about 45 miles home. Now he plans to drive it to his new farm, sone 85 miles away. Makes for a long day!!!
