yes but only if you tell me where it is haha!! JK you cant go wrong with a super if its a good price id jump on it

oliver90owner · Feb 13, 2018

Doesn?t it rather depend on mechanical condition as well as location, etc?

And, of course, the price!

What's a "good price"?---Tee

NYOlivers · Feb 13, 2018

I will agree if its a good price and a true Super 88 jump on it, because if you don't someone else probably will. For example this fall we bought one for 2000.00. Its in decent shape someone painted years ago. It is a diesel wide front. That's what we were looking for so it was a good deal to us. There was no serial tag and the motor is out of a 880 or a replacement block, so its not all orignal. Like I said not a big deal to us. So it all depends what you are looking for and how much you want to spend. That's just my 2cents.

he wants to trade for an old 78 ford f250 4x4 I have

old · Feb 13, 2018

I paid $1000 for my S88 and have NEVER regretted it. I did how ever find a wide front and put it on but I also use it for baling hay so the wide front is almost a must have and that was over 10 years ago

newf · Feb 13, 2018

this one has the wide front on it already.

old · Feb 13, 2018

Ok so that makes it worth a tad bit more in many cases

NYOlivers · Feb 13, 2018

Is the tractor gas or diesel?

newf · Feb 13, 2018

it's a gas and the front is the one piece kind. not adjustable

NYOlivers · Feb 13, 2018

I guess than it depends if you want to trade your truck or not and what you think that is worth in this deal.

old · Feb 13, 2018

Does the wide front sit under it or more out in front of it?? If under that would make it a S88 standard. The one I have is a gas. The front I have came off of a 88 diesel I had that some one had turned way up and I was afraid to run it much because of being turned up I sold it to a guy who wanted it as a pulling tractor

WGM · Feb 13, 2018

Bailed hay for years with a Oliver 88 with a tricycle front end with no issues.

newf · Feb 13, 2018

I have no real need for the truck. it's a super 88 standard. in real good shape. runs excellent.

NYOlivers · Feb 13, 2018

I know what I would do! Truck would be going and tractor would be coming home. I am not a fan of the blue oval.... HaHa
Sorry!

el6147 · Feb 13, 2018

that would be a standard 88, no super.

chucksoliver77 · Feb 13, 2018

and it has band brakes which would make it a 1951 or older!!

I say from the picture it looks like an 88. What is the serial number?

rrlund · Feb 14, 2018

I was at an auction one time and the auctioneer and owner both made that mistake. They had an early 88 diesel listed as a Super 88. I guess just because it had the Diesel Power decal on the side of the hood. When I corrected the auctioneer and told him it wasn't a Super,and in fact was a real early 88 because it had band brakes,the owner didn't even take it very well.

old · Feb 14, 2018

I run a round baler so narrow front you would be running over the hay before the baler picks it up so that messes up[ the windrow and the hay. Ya ok with a square baler but not so much with a round baler where your weaving side to side and going over the windrows

Traditional Farmer · Feb 14, 2018

Either way its a pretty straight old tractor,plus it looks like a Super hydraulic unit.

hd6gtom · Feb 14, 2018

Would not hesitate would deliever the truck immiediatly.

Olliejunkie · Feb 14, 2018

Got a pic of truck? Sounds like a fair trade unless the truck is nice. Main thing is that you are both happy.

old · Feb 14, 2018

That is an 88 standard not a super 88. From what I understand the 88 standard was basically a Super 88 but due to being a standard it is not called a super 88 standard

newf · Feb 14, 2018

he's throwing in a small round baler as
well so I going to make the trade. can

when cleaned up and painted
