On December 8, 2007 at 10:00 a.m. there is a farm equipment sale at highway 218 and Henry-Washington road, Crawfordsville, IA which includes a 1973 model 1855 with cab, a 1974 model 1755 with cab and a more rare 1959 880 propane model, all one owner. Personally I intend to attend this one as the tractors look pretty clean and well maintained. They appear to have been used in farm operations rather than restored.

I agree with Brad on this one, those tractors look hashed. I would say those look below average. Is this person relation to you, or why are you advertising them for them?

No relation, just saw the sale bill. Thirty year old farm tractors are used... and not necessarily kept clean and shiny. For a tractor this old and being used regularly I suspect the condition is normal. I put up the information in case someone was looking for a tractor to restore.. Personally I am interested in a golf cart trailer they have for sale.

I wouldnt call that normal wear and tear to need engine work, and sheet metal missing. We got 3 Olivers and they are no wheres that wore down. Maintenace was not number one for this guy just by seeing the pictures.

The comments here made me find the auction listing. I'm not sure what you guys are looking for, but I suspect you'll not find it right away. The tractors appear to be in decent "off the farm" condition with some of the needs identified. Why would a 33 year old tractor needing some engine work not be attributable to normal wear and tear? Is the propane 880 the first 38 year old Oliver you have seen with a missing side panel? Let's see photos of jolstone's fleet.

Clean and well maintained tractors???

Doesn't look like the Ollies ever seen the inside of a shed.1855 needs engine work.Makes ya wonder what kind of maintenance schedule(if any)they had. Should go cheap

Seems pretty normal for an 1855 to need engine work . As far as the condition, just because they didn't sit in a shed doesn't automatically indicate poor maintenace. I know of a neighbor who has always had Olivers and Whites that don't look pretty but the maintenance is top notch. They have a super 88 bought new that hasn't set inside in 30 years. Some guys put their time and effort into making a living with maintained equipment that will get the job done and could care less about how shiny or crappy we think the paint job is.
