Hey everyone,
I've got a small challenge ahead of me.
Last year, I purchased what was said to be a Oliver 550. Although, when I went to get the papers for it the model was said to be a 500. Going online confirmed that I was more likely to have a Oliver 550 in front of me as I am from Canada and it is said that very few Oliver 500 crossed the Atlantic to reach our shores.
Now, I am still facing the same dilema and I'd like to confirm with certainty what model I own.
Sadly, a plate with the serial number is no longer where it should be and I couldn't find it anywhere else on the tractor which is maybe why they made an error on the registration.
On my state registration, the serial number is 101564 and the year is 1964. According to http://www.tractordata.com/farm-tractors/000/6/7/679-oliver-500.html the last Oliver 500 dates of 1963. The serial number 101564 is not associated with either Oliver 500 or 550.
Is there a way to identify the model by crossing other information?
Here are two pictures of one other serial number

It appears that the serial number of that part is R13258RD (or R13258R0?) and another number on the plate is 324 3H0. It's a bit rusty so there might be some confusion.
Thank you!
