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.
 
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.
 
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.
 
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.
 
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!!!!
 
i am not sure on the dates they haven't updated there website yet but based on last years dates it is probably the second to last weekend of july. also it is a three day show fri-sun.
 
Yes I knew of hinckley machine Ralph helped us alot with the restoration of our 60 which is the first one we did. I actually live only about four miles from the old shop which is now a napa.
 
Nice we don't have any of the big newer ones but we have a 60, 70, 80, 66, two 77s, 88, 770, 880 and a 1600. And I'm sure there will be more to come
 
A few miles west of Buffalo, mn. 1655 diesel,1755 diesel with cab and duals, 1850 gas with a 1730 QA white loader, 88 old style standard just finishing up restoring, 241 disc, oliver grain drill, 82 H corn picker. More will find its way here. Everything is well care for. I farm a little on the side of teaching. I wish I was doing it full time!

(quoted from post at 18:45:25 01/10/13) I have a fully restored 990 and a very nice 2255. I live in Grand Forks ND, 300 miles NW of Mpls.

I'm in Grand Forks also. I don't have any Olivers at the moment but in the family we have a 880 dsl Rc wf, my grandfathers 77 dsl RC nf, and a 2-62 with a white loader at my uncles in SW MI. I hope to find my grandfathers 66 gas RC nf when I get moved out of town and have a place to put it.


Richard your 990 looks awesome! I've seen it a few times at the Potato bowl parade and the home of economy tractor show. I'll try to say hi the next time I see it around.
