Here's a rare and unusual Oliver farm tractor! This is a 1959 Oliver 880 painted "Mist Green", instead of the normal meadow green. This is one of just 249 painted this way in the factory back in January 1959. It was a short lived experiment by Oliver aimed at promoting their new helical transmission. Farmers did NOT like it. So now these are rare, and highly prized. Wayne Morgan is on board his family's rare 880. Wayne serves as President of the Iowa Corn Belt Oliver Collectors. Super great Oliv
