It's always fun to look, but I have passed up on many over the past two years as I really don't need any more.  That changed this week.  I fell victim to the evils of Craigslist.  I saw two tractors, an Oliver 60 and a 66 both for sale by the same owner.  The prices were fair, so I had to go take a look.  What I found was a nice 66 with all the sheet metal, good fenders and original lights.  Basically a nice straight original tractor.  It started right up and didn't smoke so I fell in love with it.  I then took at look at the Oliver 60.  It was a nice clean tractor, started right up, good tires, etc.  I've wanted a 60 and the 66 was just a bonus.  He made me a fair package deal, $2,300 for the pair, so I pulled the trigger.  My wife was rather understanding, but now I need to find some place to put them (building material prices have really gone up).
