Great story about the father-in-law...I know of what you speak! About 3 clicks down the road from me is a John Deere dealer, and I thought I saw something sitting in the field out behind his shop the other day...hmmmm...

I have never seen an Oliver since, other than on the internet. I know I'd recognize one from a mile away, with that sloping front end that my Dad said made it more "aerodynamic" :) John
