Anonymous-0 · Jul 6, 2011

I am restoring this model of Oliver, and would like to aquire the original paint scheme of this model especially the grill area, and the number 88 in the front. Would appreciate any information, especially photo's. This model is very rare to find photo's for, would like to get the color scheme original. Appreciate any info or photo's on this older model, Thanks!

I believe he is referring to the "old" style early model 88. This tractor used the same styling at the 60 and 70.

If I am right, you can search for pictures and info at the HPOCA link.

Thank you for your reply and photo. The picture you have provided appear to be the same model, and is the best photo I have received so far. Our tractor had the shorter grill of the 60 model, and the red stripe painted over with yellow, and did not have the embossed numbers in front. We have the decal of the 88, but was unsure where it went, or if the numbers were painted on front, it doesn't look like from your photo that it did. The grill has been replaced with original size. Thank you so much for this photo, it has been very helpful, I will check out the site you have provided for more photo's, thanks!

I got a standard like that they call them streamlines, there should be an 88 decal that goes on the front of the tub.
