I'm new at this. I have an Oliver Super 55 and want a FEL to load rock with. I've heard (and believe) Horror stories about overloading the front of this tractor. It also does NOT have power steering. Anyone know of a light (and affordable) FEL for this tractor. One that does not need an aux Pump would be better.

Thanks. Pete in Post Falls

Pete,
Freeman and Dearborn both have a light weight loader that does pretty good for limited use like loading rock, that work off your existing hydraulics. There usually is a used loader for sale in the classifieds here on YTM, you could possibly save alot of money to buy a good used one.
You can water the rear tires and build a counterweight for the rear. I took a 55 gallon drum and put pins in it to fit my 3 point, then filled it with water, it does really good as a counter weight, and if you need the 3 point the barrel comes on and off easy as a disk.
Walt's Tractor sells an after market power steering kit to fit your tractor for about 700-750-. I never did put on my power steering kit, and haven't had any problems, once you learn to do your steering before you stop movement of the tractor.
Every accident that I have seen with a loader in 38 yrs has been operator error. Just remember to operate this like a piece of construction equipment and not like a race car. Keep the tractor counter weights on it, and keep the bucket as low as possible when in motion, don't be making quik turns with the bucket loaded, and don't go sideling off or up grades. Go straight up and straight down the grades. You will get used to the loader in a short time. Hope this has helped, and good luck.- Jerry
