I just got my 1955 Oliver Super 55. It is a 1955, SN 23 434.
This is going to be a project for me. It currently runs and the PTO and 3 point cylinder works, but it has a few issues.
The left side lifting arm attaching pin appears to have been stripped out of the hole. The pin is intact and the threads don't look too badly worn, but it doesn't thread into the hole.
It feels like the hole has a heli-coil in it, I can feel a loose thread in the hole, but haven't had time to investigate further yet. Is it common for these to strip out and be heli-coiled?
It has a Model 588 loader. The loader is currently not attached to the tractor, it is just sitting on top of the front weights. The loader came with a front mount pump and half of a jaw coupler, but I have to find a shaft to attach to the front crankshaft pulley. I have seen adapter plates and shafts for other tractors, but nothing specific to Oliver. I would assume they are the same, but have to get dimensions off my pulley to see if others will fit. Does anyone have any experience with these?
I am exited for a new project and will post pictures and updates as I learn more.
