Joe that's a great find! Tell the guy to let you go ahead and buy it and
you'll put it in a barn and let him come visit it anytime he likes. That
way he can have his cake and eat it too. FYI that thing is worth a small
fortune to the right collector!

Subject: [AT] NOS Oliver 60
In my travels yesterday I had the chance to bring up old tractors when
talking with one of the landowners on our system (I work for a power
company). Anyway, I mentioned that I liked Oliver's and he said he had one
he would like to show me.
It seems that a local dealer from back in the 1940s had a falling out with
the authorities over an attempted murder charge, so he put all his stuff in
a barn, and withdrew from society. Fast forward to 1975, and the guy I met
yesterday was able to befriend the now elderly former tractor dealer. One
thing lead to another and this property owner was offered a tractor from the
barn (a 1947 Oliver 60) that had never been sold. It still had the factory
tags on it. He brought it home and since it was still new, he didn't want
to use it either, so it's been sitting in his barn for the past 35 years.
It was neat to see, even still has the shipping tags on it. He said he got
it running a couple of years ago, but never did anything else with it.
He's not ready to sell it yet, but I asked him to call me when he was, I
doubt if I hear back from him, but I do have to bug him at least once a year
for my job, so I'll bring it up with him again. Made for an interesting
day.
Enjoy,
Joe
