Only have one issue that doesn't make sense on my Oliver (Cockshutt) 550. Even though the serial number states it's a 1963, it has the PTO lever next to the seat. I thought they moved them in 1959 to the right side of the dash. Am I wrong? It has the square grille, so I'm assuming the serial tag is correct. Thanks.

Nothing in stone as to where the PTO lever is located it was an option I have a 74 with the lever behind the seat from the factory Congrats on the cockshutt( oliver) 550 I've got one too

I know where you read that and that is a mistake. Also 1963 models may or may not have the fiberglass grill. I was at the meeting for the Columbus branch when they said anyone who had a 550 with the old style grill they had a kit to change it. That in the late fall of 63 as there was snow on the ground.

The literature with Dad's '59 550 has the PTO lever on the right hand side of the seat.

I'm thinking there were field conversions to put the PTO lever up front or by the seat whichever way you wanted it.

Couple of our late models have em' up off the dash. Real knee knockers.

Looking at my manual, seems that models after serial number 146824 (sometime in 1964) had a different type of PTO lever.
Is that it?
