Remember this old beauty? This was the tractor KRVN gave away during the big summer promotion of 2003.  It was a natural fit for us since we both share "880" in our names.

The tractor was purchased from Perry Schweitzer of Shickley, Nebraska.  Perry is a collector and had it for a couple of years.  He reportedly found it parked in a shed in the Milligan, Ne area when he bought it. We had it restored at Eustis Body Shop and hauled it around to several summer festivals and town celebrations that summer!

This particular machine was powered by a Waukesha 6-cylinder diesel engine producing 52 drawbar horspower and 55 on the PTO.  It was designed to replace the 88 and came with optional power steering. 

To help celebrate, we had 880 Spec Cast 1/16 scale models made. Each tractor was numbered. These make a pretty cool collectors piece now. (See picture below) 

This tractor now resides with the winner that year, Brad Rebman of Repulican City, Nebraska! Click on the photos for a closer look.  Send us your tractors to the addresses above.
