I bought an Oliver 880 diesel in the early '80's from a dealer in eastern Oregon. It had the same kind of homemade cab, only not enough windows and it was like the Black Hole of Calcutta in there. It started and ran good, and they only wanted $1,500 for it, so I went in the building to make my deal. Owner and 2 salesmen were in there- I told them I'd take the tractor at their price if they'd take the cab off. All 3 of them started laughing, and owner pulled 2 5 dollar bills out of his wallet and handed them to the 2 salesmen. Said one "We told the boss that we'd save some time if we just took that gawd-awful cab off first thing. He bet us 5 bucks apiece that we could sell it with the cab."
That rig had a lot of snort. Neighbor was clearing some land and trying to take some of the humps out by dragging an I-beam crossways. There was a hill, and his JD 2020 wouldn't pull it up the hill, so he was going to borrow a Cat D-4. I knew about when he came over every evening after work to work on the project, so I was ready with the 880 when he drove in, and pulled it smartly up the hill. He didn't knock my "old" Oliver quite so much after that.

His dad was a hard-working farmer and the children worked hard everyday to help ends meet. In the rural area he grew up in, the highlight of the week was Saturday when many people took a break from their work to go to town. It was on one such Saturday in the early 1940's when Sam was 16 years old that he ended up in Dennison, Kansas to watch a demonstration of a new tractor being put on by a local dealer.
