Literature for the Super 88 tractor with the red wheels dated 4-57 Form A-962 shows "NEW Power Adjusted Rear Wheels". This literature also points out many of the things that J Schweibert posted. It is interesting that the Literature for the Super 77 & Super 88 with red wheels shows the same tractor with the wider grill to accomidate the larger Super 88 radiator. That way they only had to haul one tractor to the farm for the photo session.

Is your tractor also equipped with key start? The only two we had around were both 1957 models and they would have red wheels. Do you have a serial number for your tractor?

It does have key start however it is not the factory switch. I don't have the serial # and I am at school right now so I can not get it until I go home again. Do you knwo anything about spin out wheels on this modle. I know that some of the supers had green wheels and the others had red, but i had never seen one with spin outs and was just wondering.

The super 88 that had the spin out wheels was equipped that way because the owner had a mounted corn picker and that was handier than moving the wheels from side to side. This is also about the time that 15.5 tires replace the old 13-38 tires. I think the rim is one inch wider than the regular rims used up to that time.
For 1957, there were many little improvements in the Super series tractors. Some were internal only, some were external. Some of the external ones include: The word Oliver in the fender, smaller headlights, key start, the battery box lid was now held on by 4 screws insted of the small hinged door and the gas models now had 12 volt electrical systems. My neighbor has a super 66 that has all this except the word Oliver does not appear in the fenders. Then a friend of mine worked on a 1957 Super 55 this summer that had all the above changes except is still had the large lights. Point being these changes were made also to a degree as the old inventory was used up and not just a big change was made on one day. Hope this helps. See what your serial number is then look also for these other changes. Most of those small key switches has been worn out by now and have been replaced.

Now my next question is if i should pait the spin out wheels read like the normal wheels, or if I should paint them aluminum like the spin out wheels on the 50's series tractors.

Yea, you could get super 88D's with spin-outs, was just an option. I learned to drive on a 1955 s88D with green wheels (was red underneath) and spinouts.
