Oliver 38

[Marshal51]

Have the opportunity to purchase this Oliver 38 grain drill. Appears to be in excellent condition but is the first I’ve seen with the hand lift. Most around here are rope trip or have been converted to hydraulic cylinder. Does anyone know what the drill might be worth and thoughts on this type of lift on this drill?
Thanks

Those old drills just don't bring much. If everything turns and it works, $200 seems fair.

$0-300. I've found it's easier to sell them for more money as yard art. I've got a 14' model out front right now with the fertilizer boxes that's going away for yard art- has the same handles FYI.

That’s the price range he’s asking. I’m just curious about the lift on it. Is there an engagement once you lower it with the lever to make it drive? Trying to understand it with just pictures is hard and very little info online.

I don't know. I never saw that set up either.
