Oliver 88
Row-crop tractor · 1947–1954 · Gasoline
The Oliver 88 was the flagship of Oliver's postwar Fleetline row-crop series, offering the most power of the 66/77/88 lineup from its six-cylinder Oliver-Waukesha engine. Built in Charles City, Iowa, it was available in gasoline and, from 1950, diesel form, and became a favorite among farmers who wanted six-cylinder smoothness in a full-size row-crop tractor. Its rounded, streamlined sheet metal exemplified Oliver's distinctive postwar styling.
