Some 30 to 35 years ago, my first experiences driving a motorized vehicle was on my grandad�s Oliver 60 RC. For years after grandpa was gone, I have fond memories of my dad and I working the farm for grandma with that tractor.When Grandma finally left us, we settled her estate in part by having an auction to dispose of many items. One of which was the Oliver 60 RC. I was too young and unaware then of how attached I was to that piece of equipment. Just two years ago, I bought one identical to it and am in the process of making it a �near� show quality piece. But something just isn�t the same about it. The gentleman that bought the Grandpa's tractor (and the original set of cultivators) from the sale was a local person. But before we could realize that we wanted to see if we could get it back, it had been sold to someone from the Versailles, MO area. We had no way of knowing how to contact that person. Since then, we think the tractor has made its way to another owner living somewhere in the upper mid-west. We were able to get the original cultivators back to use with the tractor I am now working on. Obviously, the current owner of the (SN 624094) tractor may not see this message, but ya never know. For now, I'd be thrilled to know who the current owne is and how to contact them and maybe get a photo..... .....? I would take much pleasure just in knowing where she ended up. My father also regrets letting this tractor go. It would be a thrill if I could tell him I had tracked down the tractor. Though you may not be the owner, maybe this sounds like someone you might know..... ...? Chris Haller 2135 S. State Highway J Springfield, MO 65809 Phone: 417-883-0614 e-mail: [email protected]
