Dad came out to the barn one day this week and says,"Your Grandfather's old Oliver (on Mom's side,it's a narrow front 66) can be bought and your Mother would like to have it".He said it would be nice to put it in the old shop and not tell her untill we get it running.I said it's up to you,do what ever you like,I'll help you with it.The same day at lunch time,I was invited in for a meal and he procedes to tell Mom about the possible purchace which I thought was going to be a secret,and says that I as in me the person writing this would really like to have it! I think by this point we all know who really wants it the most lol.It will be fun,not as easy as the others as this one needs some engine work as the others did not.

Sounds like around here. If Dad buys something he tells Mom that I bought it. If I buy something I tell my wife that Dad bought it. That system works pretty well so far.

There's a 66 up the road that I'd like to get my hands on. I've already got one,but that one has a wide front,has always been housed and is as original of a one that you'll ever find. The old gal that owns it is about 102. Her husband was probably crowding 50 when he bought it new,then he farmed 60 acres with it and worked in town.
I asked her nephew about it a year ago,thought it might be for sale after she passes. He talked to his cousins and they said they thought they'd keep it. It'll be my luck some fast talker will con them out of it some day for about a tenth what it's worth.
