We owned two Oliver 88 diesels with the wide front and both of ours had the white creme grill on them.

Where did you order the engine overhaul kit from?

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.

I worked on air at WJWL-AM in Georgetown, Delaware in 1975-1976, when it was owned by Great Scott Broadcasting. Radio 900 was in a building that is very similar to WGGH. The tower was behind the building, just as it is with your station in Illinois. It brings back memories to see this video. Sadly, WJWL was sold to LaRaza and no longer broadcasts in the English language. Thanks for posting.

Hello, Sir! I’m Abrham from Houston, Texas. I create KZbin short commentary videos and would love to make one about you using clips [ REMOVING A BEAVER DAM ] from your channel . I give full credit to the owners, and there will be no negative impact on your videos. On the contrary, it might even help boost them. May I have your permission to do so?

That is looking great!! I like the round gauges as well.

Nobody thought to test the paint on something before covering the entire tractor in it? AGCO and others have the paint codes for the Super 88's. Crazy that you didnt tape off tires either with how nice those are and how hard they are to find decent. To go all that length for a messy, and wrong paint job is crazy. By the way it was the 3 digit and 4 digit Olivers that were Meadow Green and Clover White. Do the Super 88 justice and get it painted right.

Good job Chris!

looks really good. Thats going to be very nice, and very rare.

very nice tractor i have a 674 int lov it but i like yours thanks

Nice video

Excellent choice of colors and video music.

Wish I knew where he found that OEM hornet emblem, I need one and they are impossible

Look at all those adorable helpers!

They are like great big cats. You can’t do anything without them getting involved and pushing their way in there, but you love them.

You've got to paint it as it came from the factory, Oliver Green, red and yellow so that all the lettering will coordinate. Super 88's are tough. You can't have one running around looking prissy! An 88 was my first tractor right out of highschool. I used to love the sound of that inline six purring away all day in the fields. I loved watching yours come back to life. It brought back a lot of fond memories. But you've got to paint it correctly. You'll be sorry if you don't see that yellow grill in front. Neal

Add Hotchkis suspension and Brembos....

I want one of these in a very bad way. Memories and COOL!

I’m from Golconda since 1947. Wonderful town to grow up in, there was always something going on!! When Golconda has a festival, EVERYONE IN THE COUNTY ATTENDS and people come from all over.!! The people are great, friendly and they will welcome you with open arms!!

Good colors, but you retard-fucked the bump

For a spray bomb paint job ot came out good if you want a more professional looking job using the same paint spend the 2.50 and buy the plastic spray handle that snaps on the can

Awesome

Looks fantastic! Especially for a rattlecan job. In my opinion, its hard to have too much chrome on a classic truck, and especially with those hub caps, getting the mirrors and the grill chromed would REALLY pull everything together.

very nice old classic truck. Not many of those around anymore. Keep it looking good

No hate but you’d be a whole lot cheaper and faster painting with a cheap purple spray gun if you have a decent sized air compressor. To blow the budget throw on a couple coats of SpeedoKote SMR-42 clear coat. It will give the paint durability because in 2 years this will turn chalky.

Great job something a lot of people can afford.

Long format videos are what KZbin wants. From start to finish-ish in one vid with lots of run time!! Show people how ya do it! Good lookin truck!

Fantastic job!!

Ah, she's a beauty!! I am SO jealous! I live in the same little town you do so if I see you in town I'm gonna yell out Dreamcicle!

I dig the truck!!

I like that guy's hair ❤😊

The track frames are discontinued good luck finding one

I need a grain bin roof to build a gazebo!! Never seen a grain bin burrito before. Good job David!!!

Hope your lungs don't have a patina on them.....probably should wear a respirator when using a spray on two part coating. Cool truck though, looking forward to more content on it.

that stuff did an amazing job. That is one sharp blazer, definitely a keeper. Glad to see you making content again.

Hey that guy took my mask

It's sad to watch all that work the beaver done has gone Those dams are useful for many living species GOD didn't create this in vain. There must be a purpose for all that work the beavers are doing

Very educational, 👍

Big thanks, bro.🙌

Great job. My Grandfather was in the crowd on the day of the hanging. We live just six miles south. The only thing I saw that you might want to correct, is the map you showed of Marion County, IL. Marion, IL is in Bloody Williamson County. You'll get a better picture of the small towns, villages and creeks with a Williamson County map.

It looks like Mist Green. Oliver when they came out with the 880 painted of a few of them Mist Green to advertise their new helical cut gears. It wasn't a huge hit with people😂 So it looks like that, not terrible😂

An interesting video with a good storyline. However, this production suffers in three major ways. The first is the producer's dependence on a camera mounted microphone. Nothing screams "amateur" like the reliance on this type of microphone. They provide inconsistent coverage and are simply harder to hear. Invest in a couple of wireless mics and see how this subtle change will Improve your presentation The second change I would suggest is to reduce your reliance on the gimbal you use. They have their place particularly in wide, sweeping shots but using it for every closeup is tiring and can almost create a seasick like effect for your viewers. Instead, mix your longer shots with some B roll edited in later. This will break up the long shots and keep your audience attentive. Lastly, you have to provide some supplemental lighting. While the imaging sensors in today's cameras are remarkably sensitive in low light conditions, additional light sources will provide depth and clarity. As one final suggestion, if you plan to possibly develop a KZbin career you should invest in a real camera rather than relying on that cell phone you are currently using ( yes, I could tell )! I would suggest a used Canon, Nikon or Panasonic product one or two generations back. Attach it to a shoulder mount made by a company called Small Rig. With a decent lens you will have a device that far exceeds the specifications of the $30,000 television news camera I lugged around 25 years ago.

Les quedo muy bien, Felicidades 🎉

Great video man reminds me of when i did my 1954 fordNAA im only 35 great think to know how to do my grandfather passed away few months ago . He be really happy to see his tractor run again

My first thought was that it could be saved and then, like you said, I saw it was too far gone. Glad you got something out of it to keep and reuse. The video was excellent. Best I've seen. You've got a great eye.

This is a great idea, a mini-farm!

I absolutely love this and love you putting them back together.

Nice looking Oliver Meadow, green and clover.White, it would look sharp. Nice job though

My shirt still has some of that green paint on it. I call it the Oliver edition shirt. 😂😅
