[AT] More tractors coming home

[charlie hill]

Oh I forgot to say, Congrats on a good find.  I've always been fond of those 
2 digit number Olivers myself.
They are good workers and make mighty fine parade pieces when they are all 
fixed up.

I have tried really hard to not get too excited about the relative drop in 
tractor prices.  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).

It's taken a few years, but at this point, it seems I can buy them running 
for much less than it would cost to fix a non-runner up myself.  So anyway, 
just thought I'd share.

Enjoy, Joe
