What width front rims did Oliver put on these tractors new? I thought they all had 4.5" rims but now think they might have used 5.5" rims on later models as well.

To my knowledge all 550's were sold with 6.00-16 front tires. So it would be whatever rim fit those. I suppose they could have put bigger ones on in later production. Dad put 7.50-15 wheels on his to carry a loader. Loader is gone now but bigger tires still on tractor.

That is an interesting concept with the 7.50 tires. The reason for my asking in the first place had to do with my loader.

Dad had a heavy Freeman loader on his. I don't remember the model but it ran off a separate pump and had bucket cylinders. It was really too much loader for the tractor. Anyhow he changed the front wheels to help carry it. We did break one front spindle once. Was carrying a big rock in the bucket and drove into a hole. We now have a 1550 short wheelbase with a different Freeman loader but still have the 550 minus loader.

I broke a spindle under similar conditions. It sunk down into a hole filled with wood chips.
