Macybaby: So you have an Oliver 1800. Did you know the feature tractors this year at Albert City Threshermen show and Butterfield steam show are the Hart Parr and Olivers? There will be Olivers of all kinds. I really don't know much about the Olivers except for the ones that pull in the antique tractor pull at Graettinger's Labor Day. I get blessed doing the registration and awarding the prize money since my son is in charge of that.
I would much rather look at sewing machines. Oh, by the way, the son put up a new Morton shed in 2013 to hold his antique tractors. The shed is very nice. I used his big table in the office area to sew a 60 foot banner for the spaghetti dinner during the bike ride across Iowa last summer. I could put lots of sewing machines in his loft area.
