Super 55 Questions??????????

: We are planning on sandblasting our wheels down to bare metal and checking the paint layers as we go. The last layer of paint we find is what we will try to reproduce. We are expecting the paint color to be red, but green would not suprise me either. My best guess (and I mean GUESS) is that the wheels should be red, simply because that is what I see most frequently on restored Oliver Super series tractors.

: As for the oil filter, it should be a vertical oil bath air filter hanging on the left side (exhaust pipe side) of the engine. They did not use plastic parts on them. If an optional unit was available, as described by another posting, it could be possible that is what you have. Most likely, the original oil bath filter was replaced because they are a pain in the butt, and they also rusted out on the bottom of the oil holding pan.

Thanks Paul for the info, I will pass it on. How do you like your new Oli? Where are you from, have you been able to try it out in cold weather? This buddy of mine put on the snow blade anticipating to use it this winter but thanks to El Nino winter has not shown up yet at his place!
