Dads main beast was an Oliver 88 gas.
The bottom of the muffler would glow red at night pulling the 3 bottom Oliver trip plow.
Can't believe he got stuff done with that combination, or could afford to fuel it, but gas was under 30 cents a gallon. And he was planting beans in June a lot of the time so not sure he did keep up......

Jon's Allis has a small front loader and though it doesn't carry much, it serves his needs. It was the hard starting and low power that made him think it was time to replace the old girl. Jon called me to help him discover why his tractor wouldn't start
