[AT] oliver 70 Price Check

[John Hall]

I had one. It rained in it and busted a sleeve. Block was also cracked 
between a couple of the cylinders. Sold it for parts. It had 40" rears. 
Never could find any tires that didn't scare me away with the price. I think 
someone started making the 40" rears again a couple of years ago but I'm not 
certain of the width.
