I recently bought a 1954 Super 55. Serial #7839-518 on the block plate.
I"m interested in finding out what color the rear rims should be. My rims are painted white, but where the paint has chipped I can see green paint underneath (I don"t know if the rims are original to the tractor). I"ve come across pictures of Super 55"s with red, white or green rims... some within the same year of production.

Also, are those last three digits on my serial number (-518) unique, or present on some or all Super 55"s?

Thank you.

The rims on your 55 should be green. In 1957 Oliver went back to red for the wheels. When the 550 came out in 1958 they were green and white. A lot of farmers painted their wheels and grilles white to better match the new tractors.

If you go to my web site you can see my 1955 Suer 88. When I painted it a few years back I did my best to paint it as it would have been painted when new, or as close as I could with todays paints. I even went so far as to get pictures of what one looked like when new so I could in fact see what it was painted like

Old, your Super 88 looks pretty nice! I also noticed your 8N backhoe with the massive concrete block attached to the front. That looks like a pretty effective counterweight. I have an 8N with a backhoe and throw some suitcase weights in the loader to help keep it from tipping. I haven't been able to start the darn thing lately. I bought the Super 55 with the intent to transfer the backhoe to it since it has more hp, but I've changed my mind. I started liking the Oliver too much to risk beating it up with the backhoe!

That cement weight on mine is around 500lbs and even with it on there you pop a wheelie every time you let the clutch out and forget 4th gear since every bump the front tires hit the font end jumps up about a foot. Nice thing is it will dig almost 18 foot down but its slow.
