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

Love the Oliver, it will be a classic when you get it re-painted. Not many of those left around. Love the animals too.

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

I feel for you. I'm in the process of repainting my Oliver 1365 and I can attest to how much work it takes to strip, prep and paint a tractor.

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😂

Yeah, I just told them to mix an 88 Oliver paint, and this is what we got lol but it’s green I guess! Have to spend some time soon repainting for sure.

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

[@lukedreier2252]

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.

It was in the booth and ready to go, so we were putting what we had. way I look at it is, this Will be a good primer for the next green. Back tires are in horrible shape. I did tape the front because they are new. We took the vin the Kroves Oliver, which they told us the scheme paint it should be. Thanks for watching!

@@Thearchivescd Fair enough. Apologies - seemed like it was just going to stay that way. Korves is amazing and will get you headed in the right direction. Been following this since you found it. Thanks for saving another old Oliver.

@@lukedreier2252 oh no! Another paint video soon! I do have the correct stuff this time lol but that’s okay, I have a few things to do on it while it’s apart again anyways. Stay tuned!
