Detroit Oliver

We HEARD it coming before we even laid eyes on it! 😳 Editor Sherry Schaefer's newest tractor finally made it home this week. Check out the video of her most recent Oliver acquisition - a Super 77 with a 2-71 GM Diesel.
We’re also having a naming contest. Throw out your best suggestions in the comments!

My kind of woman. She went shopping and came home with 2 Oliver tractors. Be still my heart.

Jimminie cricket works. An annoying yet soothing sound. Like the tenitis ringing in my ears from too many long days on open tractors 😀

Little Jimmy

I think Jiminy Cricket would be the perfect name. Crickets are pretty loud

Reminds me of when I was a kid. Our neighbor had an HD5 Allis Chalmers with that same bark.
Like a Johnny Popper, you don't have to see one to know what it is.
I like Screamin' Ollie.

Hi, Sherri. Saw this video again and it reminded me of a story my dad used to tell.
He drove semi in the late 50s and early 60s. He was sitting in a truck stop having lunch one day when an old fella sat down next to him and they started talking. He said to my dad “did you know that Jimmies are mentioned in the Bible?”
My dad looked at him and said “really?”
“Yes, it says ‘one day, strange creatures will roam the earth, a-wailin’ and a-moanin’! ‘ “😂

Well its a BEAST , did it get restored ? I'd love to see it

[@Adventures_with_Josh]

Awesome tractor. Get in touch with bus grease monkey he may have some info.

[@ZekenStreak]

I see there’s orange paint under the green so was this originally an industrial model or maybe purchased by a county? I like Jimmy cricket for a name. Cheers

[@richardbailey7558]

Will it be in your magazine?

[@landenschooler6726]

Would it fit a S88 frame better?

[@jodyreeder4820]
