Hello all. New member here from S. IL. Went from a Kubota BX1800, to a Deere 2305, now have a Deere 2320 with loader. Does what I ask it to. Also have an Oliver Super 55 with loader too, but no power steering. It doesn't get used much.

Welcome. Do you have pics of the Oliver?

Welcome aboard from North Carolina.

Yeah I have pics of the Oliver, but since I got a new laptop with Windows 7, when I try and post pics somewhere they are no bigger than a postage stamp no matter what I do to make them bigger. I dunno.

Welcome to the forum.

I too would like to see some pics of the Oliver. You can Email or pm one of us the pictures and we can try posting them.

She looks to be in really good shape. Can you post some pix of the dash and engine. That FIL hides the beauty of the beast. Thanks. -kid

The dash ain't much to look at. My Dad took the tach out to work on it, but he's been gone for 4 years now and I have no idea where he put it. The mess in the background looked like the inside of his shed too, just 50 years of garbage collecting. I used Ollie to clean up the mess, but the steering was so horrible, I broke the steering wheel just trying to turn it. I bought the Deere to have something effortless to drive. He left the tractor sit outside until the gearbox filled up with rainwater and pushed the oil out, rusting up the worm and sectors. I have since replaced the gearbox and cleaned out the shed enough to keep it dry.

Welcome from near St. Louis. Hopefully you have your priorities straight (as do most of you from the Southern part of Illinois) and are a Cards fan vs. that team from evil Chicago!

Hello JeffCo, I have kin in Barnhart and Festus. I'm not a sports fan at all but I hate Chicago for different reasons!

Small world. We are on the other side of Jefferson County.

I've been to the Rural King in Waterloo many times.

My wife hates Rural King because I like it. I've bought a blade and bush hog for my Deere from there. And now they sell guns, too. What more could ya ask for? I may move to Missouri when I retire..............I need to get out of this crooked broke state!
