Picked up a 1959 550 with an Oliver loader. Name plate on loader says "Oliver, SN E-830" Looks like a 59 or 59A but is not exactly the same(appears to be made with small I-beams versus pipes but mounts the same as 59 or 59A. Loader is in decent shape works good-single acting cylinders with trip bucket. Am interested in selling the loader. Does anyone have sense of what it may be worth?
Also, 550 has original ps( Char-Lynn 105 with pump on back of generator).Works well except right pitman arm swings crooked(rubs transmission case)- looks like bushings are worn? Are parts still available to rebuild the box? How complicated is this to fix?
Finally-when running in 5th, 6th, and R2, the transmission seems to make an intermittent "Zing" sound. Any ideas what could be causing this?
Other than steering box and the these gears, tractor is in good condition, runs well-motor strong, 3pth, pto, and hydraulics are good and paint & tin are excellent. Just needs a little TLC-seat kit, radius arm sockets, a tach, and gas tank sensing unit.
Thank you.
