     Super 55 |
I was at one of the local produce markets in the Fraser Valley today and when I parked the truck, I noticed some old equipment in the field next to the parking lot. Low and behold there was what appeared to be an Oliver potato digger. It has a serial number plate: serial # 1163 model: 2-26" Digger I don't know anything about these implements, but wouldn't mind saving it from a slow rusty death. It seems to be all there, just a bit of the Oliver green paint on it, but has car tires on it. I talked to the wife of the owner, and she said to call her son when he comes back in a couple of weeks. I would only want it for display. What size Oliver would this match up to. I have a Super 55. What era is it, and how much should I offer the fellow and be fair to him. It doesn't look like it has worked for decades. Thanks for any help or advice. By the way, this is the first Oliver implement I have ever seen around here, so they aren't that common. I had to drive all the way to Edmonton for my 2 bottom plow. |
