I found an Oliver 55 at a pretty reasonable price, but don't know much about it. I currently have a Ford 9N. How does the Oliver compare in HP and functional options? Parts availability for normal maintenance and engine overhaul?

Any and all info would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance..... ..Tommy(MO)

You see, other than Nebraska Tests, he doesn't have proof, just stories and rumors.

As far as us Deere guys, we don't have to defend owning the best.

Nomater what horsepower it is, it will outpull every single other tractor ever built, even the 4X4s.

It will get such good fuel economy, you will be able to do all the work to farm 160 acres, and only fill the tank once.

All in all, they are such good tractors, the company had to go under, because they couldnt sell enough of them.

Just ask Tom in you dont beleive all of this, he knows everything about everything.

The little Oliver Super 55 is easy to get parts for at your dealer, and most typical parts are still available such as engine, hydraulics, and electrical. Transmission parts are available used, if not new. The Super 55 made 32.65 belt(PTO) horsepower, and 228.9 footpounds of torque, so you should notice quite a difference between it and your 9N. Plus you get a six speed transmission with a road gear, and an independent PTO, something you will really appreciate if you're using your 9N for PTO work now. Hope this helps.

Thanks again..... .Tommy(MO)

A John Deere H or M, I think not.

Remember, rumors are rumors and facts can be proven. Show us some proof that IH bailed out Deere and Company. I recall hearing stories about Deere and Company bailing out IH, because Deere was worried that if IH went under, that the government would regulate the farm equipment buisness. Again, this is a story that I can not proove, just as I suspect you can not proove that your IH story.

As far as the rest of the so cald facts you profess to know, the last time you spouted off like this, I told you I would not play your game, unless you could come up with PROOF. As I stated before, I am not going to play your game, so stop writting about things I supposidly said. And stop using my name.

If you want to chat about this like an educated adult, I am more than willing to do so, provided you can support your claims.
