Tractor Story – Oliver Super 88

I thought you might like to see before and after photos of the first tractor I ever restored (did everything all by myself, even though I had no idea what I was doing). When I was  but a sprout, my grandfather used to give me rides on his Oliver Super 88. I never forgot what fun they were, and told myself one day I would have a Super 88 of my own. I quickly learned I was in way over my head, but somehow, I managed to get the tractor completely restored with only a few broken ribs, numerous minor burns, lots of skinned knuckles and enough sweat to fill Lake Michigan.
