Oliver 80 Diesel

I know this has been discussed before and I am wondering if anyone knows where the 80 Diesels are now. There is one in Northeast Nebraska. The last list I saw has 1 std. in England, the poster had 1, Lyle Dumont had 2, one in Washington.
The 80 in the picture is in Nebraska and I have seen the wide front in Iowa.
I would like to put a list together of where they are and maybe see if we can get more than the one in Nebraska to the Hart-Parr Oliver Collectors Winter Show in Norfolk, Nebraska March 18 19, 2022.

That is the first pic I have seen of a RowCrop diesel 80. I was of the impression that factory diesels were Standards.

I see no point in having that starting handle sticking out on the front of a diesel engine.

So my question is: Is this a factory diesel 80?
 
Thanks to those who caught my mistake. I had the wrong dates in the original post, the correct dates are March 18 19, 2022.
Yes this is a factory built tractor
We hear that there are only 5 or 6 left. So far I have only heard of one standard and that in in England.
I would like to get the following information about the existing 80 diesels: Owner, configuration, serial number and location.
Thanks

I read that the reason for the crank on the early diesels was not for starting but rather turn the engine for timing, setting the valve lash etc

Gary do you have more information? Configuration, location, serial numbers?
I have been in touch with Jamie Davey in England. Jamie thinks there's might be the only running standard. He has heard of another in parts in New Zeeland.

Thanks

Send me your U S mail address and I will send you a picture of me driving the one in England. It might have beena Lend lease tractor.
 
There was an 80 Row Crop Diesel in Ivesdale, IL. The last I saw it was in the late 70's. It was in a wooden crib and was For Sale.
The guy owned it wanted a whopping $75.00 for it. I passed and bought a 77 because it had a road gear. Not sure where it went. The
ctib is still there. I go by it and every so often I take a peak in the driveway to see if mysteriously reappeared. It has not. I
was so stupid.
 
Gary Spitznogle, Would you send me an e-mail? I want to put together a list of where the other 80 Diesels are to display with the one that will be on display at the 2022 HPOCA Winter national Show in Norfolk NE March 11 - 12, 2022. [email protected]
Thanks
