Well the 2007 WHO Great Iowa Tractor Ride is history.  We had a great time with the red Oliver.  We were told more than once that we had bought a COCKSHUTT with some goofy decals that somebody had added.  I had put together a 3 ring binder with a copy of the build card, an article out of the Fall 1970 issue of &quot;Better Farming&quot; and a sheet about how we acquired the tractor.  After people looked through the binder we heard them say, &quot;Well, I learned something today.&quot;  I drove it most of the time and you could see people looking at the tractor and wondering what was up.  It would have been interesting to know what they were saying/thinking.

She ran pretty good.  We had to jump it on Monday, but after putting some water in the battery she was trouble free.

Oh by the way, Brother Don found his 1755 that he sold over 30 years ago, so maybe next year there will be 2 red Olivers on the ride.
