A few nice tractors I noticed. I do love those orchard rigs! I particularly like the O-4's and W-4's and that wide front M is one of the nicest I've ever seen. That Oliver Diesel was one of many nice rigs owned by the same man including a pristine unstyled Allis-Chalmers WC. I think he said it was a 1937.

There was a group down on the south end of one aisle that had three generations of what I would call IH utility style tractors...including a 600 diesel. All restored. Don't know that I ever saw a 600 before but it is a lot of tractor.
 
Dave, in the first picture I noticed the twin 880. I have only seen a picture of one is that the original? I saw it in C. H. Wendel's Oliver Hart-Parr book. Thanks for any info. Greg
 
That big Minnie-Mo is an impressive looking machine too. I scrolled back for a second look before I saw the little riding mower beside it. Thanks for the pictures.
 
The owner and his son just finished this twin Oliver for this show. I have never heard of another. (There could be)
 
Thanks, I need to stay on classic view! Sorry for all the mistakes. I have only seen a picture of one that was made in the Oliver shop between 1958-1963. Thanks again. Greg
 
My father in law had a picture of a two engine Oliver 880 like that pulling a large roller at a construction site back in the early sixties. He's gone now, but I'll see if I can find that picture.
