Video: Why Is This Oliver 880 Painted The Wrong Color?


This 880 Oliver was painted mist green to help promote Oliver’s new helical cut gear transmission, but the farmers didn't care much for the color. Only about 250 of the model 880s were painted the mist green color, making them highly desirable for collectors. Ken Aschenbrenner and his family from Iowa are passionate about Oliver Tractors. Ken shares the story of his mist green 880 Oliver and how their passion for the hobby has brought their family closer together.
