The owner of the disc plow told me that it worked really well this spring at the plow day near Hartland, MI I missed that one for the first time in about 4 years. Not everyone knows Oliver built nice outboard motors, this guy has a neat way of showing his off.

I guess I didn't walk enough. You and Royse got pictures of some things I didn't even see.

Where you at John? If you attend a show in Hartland you must be in the same area as Spook and myself. I live just south of Hartland and own property we farm just west of Hartland by a couple miles each time. Great pictures! I saw that 450 with the roll cage but wasn't quite sure what he was going for. I assume it is a puller but overall looks like a dragster!

I forgot to mention this Wheel Horse was a original unrestored low hours unit, and the #155 was an early Sears garden tractor from the '30's. (I never saw one like it). That Farmall is a pulling tractor, a lot of sound and fury when they go! There were also some hot Oliver V-8's there.

Dave, my cousin lives a few miles northeast of Hartland and in the spring a farmer off Fenton road has an invetational plow day. My cousin has a Farmall M and a JD H and we plow with both of them.I live a little south of Gregory, MI, probably just south of Spook and maybe a little west.

Wasn't able to get there Saturday but I got there today and they had the disc plow in the field

Yup, Gregory...down west of Pinckney. About halfway to Hell, isn't it? (inside joke, look at a map folks)

That would put you well south of Spook as I think he is in the northern most part of the county. Don't know for sure as I am not the stalker type. Well, enjoyed your pictures and hope to see you at the show next time.

I'll bet I come within a few miles of you guys when I come home from my son's in Brighton. I go past Zukey Lake, thru Pinckney, Gregory, Rives Junction into Jackson, then down to Branch County. It's a very relaxing ride compared to the interstate.

I can honestly say I've been thru "HELL" a few times. LOL

I like the Oliver garden tractor with the out board. Did you or John know if the twin Oliver 880 was original just curious? Thanks Greg

Yeah, Paul, I'm just about 3 miles south of Gregory on the west side of Joslin lake. I met you last year, but you and Randy had a very intense conversation going and I had the grandkids and the wife in a wheelchair so I did not stay to talk long.
