I have a handful of Olivers by me and they still get worked out in the fields. Never really paid attention close attention, but one is an 1855. Broke its exhaust manifold while being worked last year. The owner welded it back up, works ok. Had a Hiniker cab on it, but he took it off a couple of years ago.
Speaking of homemade cabs, a few years ago I ran into a fella, about 80 years old was looking to sell his VAC, so I took a look at it. At the same time, he showed me his D-15 with a homemade cab and power steering that he built from a cylinder he scrounged up and worked with some fabricated linkage and so on. That D-15 was his pride and joy. Proud of it. The homemade cab was made of angle iron and plexiglass and and the tarped engine buttoned up into it and he said it baked him out in the winter. Nice old fella, was near death he told me. Wife passed away, he was heart broken and ready to go join her is what he said. I have to admit though, as he talked about those old tractors, sure brought smiles to his face for a short time anyway. Took him back to happier times.
Anyway, I'll bet the Deere guy's wanting $$$ for that 1855.

He said that the junk man was going to give him $500 for both of them but he hadn't received the money for them yet. So I went into the house and wrote him a check for $500 and bought them myself and said now they are mine. He had bought them about five years before thinking that he was going to restore them himself. After five years sitting in the barn, he changed h
