Meyers Tractor Salvage in Aberdeen, SD has 160 acres of old tractors on hand for parts. That's where we always picked up obsolete parts for our Oliver 88 tractor.
This one came from an auction, it was pretty rough, but it was a package deal, so 20 years later I drug it out and restored it. Check out some auctions, or travel around, deals are out there!
I’m jealous! Out of all of the Oliver tractors I have, I’ve always wanted to find a super 88 diesel. I finally bought a super 88 gas several years ago cause it was so nice but I still would rather have the diesel. If you run into any problems or need help, let me know. There’s not a piece of these tractors that I haven’t had apart. You can see them on my channel. Good luck!!!
It’s definitely a awesome tractor and been a blast to restore! Slowly, but surely! Also learning things as I go! Thanks for checking out the channel man! I’ve definitely watched some of your videos on the Oliver’s! I for sure will ask if I have any questions!
The Ford Ferguson story was Ford wanted Ferguson's patented 3 point hitch so they came up with a gentleman's handshake agreement where Ford paid Ferguson royalties for every N-series tractor Ford made. Henry passed away and his son stopped paying Ferguson royalties since there was no paper document. Ferguson sued, started Ferguson tractors in Detroit, and eventually won the legal battle. Ferguson sold to Massey-Harris which became MF. half a million Fords with the Ferguson System were sold, half a million MF35s were sold. Three point hitches are used on nearly every tractor today.
I got Oliver row corp 70 tractor I got creator living on engine I’m kick it out and buy new tires front also new bck tires replace new wires push button start
You’re right! We have absolutely no clue, that’s why it’s running, driving and ready to go. Oh, and it wasn’t built by 3 of us, it was 4. But here’s you are, stuck behind a screen typing! Thanks for the view

I bought a 57 super 88 diesel for $200. Had to fix 2 tires and put a set of injectors in it.
That’s awesome! They really are neat tractors. Glad to hear another out there is getting attention it deserves! Thanks for watching

If viewers want to prescribe then they will make their own decision not have three people who haven’t a clue how to refurbished a tractor,
