Just thought I would start a thread where everyone can tell how they got hooked on Olivers.

I&#039;ll go first.

I had never had anything to do with Olivers until I started dating my now wife when I was a teenager.  My family farmed but we had only MF, Case and International and all fairly new.

I started helping my father inlaw and he has an Oliver 77 RC that he used on the farm.  Well the first time I heard that 6 cylinder run and load up a little I was hooked!!  That was the best sounding tractor I had ever heard and then I learned about the dual range transmission and the independant PTO and couldn&#039;t believe that Oliver didn&#039;t own the tractor market in the early years.  

Well since that day I have learned every thing I could about the differnt models and saw many more olivers and heard many more of those great 6 cylinders (including my father inlaws Cockshutt 70).  And now after quite a bit of looking I own my own little Oliver in Canadian clothes, a Cockshutt 60.  It isn&#039;t a 6 cylinder but I vow that my next Oliver will be.
