I would like to know when they changed to the plastic center section in the steering wheels.I have several tractor books(all makes)and most of the oliver books out there. Did the color change on the power steering models? Was black a different model or year compared to the white(off white). The crest is orange and green not matching the tractor. What gives?? What publication can I purchase that would answer this and other questions I've got. Thanks for your input-Bob From Illinois

I know 77's and 770's so here goes, as far as I know. They started using the plastic centers when they went to the three digit tractors. White background. When Oliver went to the fiberglass grilles on the 770, 550, etc... the background went to black....still using the oarnge and green shield. They went to the keystone pattern on the 4 digit tractors. like the 1600, 1650 etc... Pre 3 digit tractors used a metal plate with a center screw, for ex,-77 or super 77. Hope this helps...

I'm getting the same info from others I have talked to. If this is true, my white one is incorrect, and I've not seen black ones for sale, or white for that matter. Thanks to everyone so far that responded---- Bob

If your looking for black background ones, try Korved Oliver. I was told they would have the black background ones by early summer. The white background ones are much easier to come by.

This is an interesting thread. I have collected up about ten of the steering wheel caps over the years from junked tractors. Of all that I have, there are two versions of the white ribbed backgrond caps w/green background for the Oliver and red for he remainder of he sheild, one plain and other has power steering in the red part. The plain is # 101 431-A & PS is 101 432-A These numbers are in the 660 (only number shown) and in the 770 / 880 books. The other caps (black background with orange sheild) are also in two versions, one plain and other has Power Steering, they are # 101 431-AA for plain and 101 432-AA for Power Steering. Those numbers go all the way through the 50 series books. I do not recall seeing any of the caps with the Keystone emblem. I checked the literature for the 50 series tractors and pictures show the cap with the shield only. The 770 / 880 book shows both part numbers for caps. Of course the Cockshutt tractors had a different part number.

bastar,

You are correct about not seeing one with a Keystone. I just went and looked, my 1750 has the orange shield with power steering in it and a black background. I guess I was dreaming about one having a Keystone!

I do have one in my tool box that is black with a silver cicle and WHITE in silver letters. I think it may have came with a conversion kit or something at one time and I put the old one back on instead. WB.

I do subscibe to heritage, and I joined Hart-Parr,(after attending Moline) but I figured that I always got an answer here in this forum. I did not want to bother someone with something so trival as plastic steering wheel centers.

First off I won't claim to be exactly right.What model tractors are you concerned with, all or some specific?

My '58 880 has a red shield surrounded by white. Similar appearence to the emblem on the front grille. The front emblem changed on later model 770&880s to having black letters, don't know about the steering cap. The latest model 770 with flat top fenders has a cap with a Sheild that is orange and surrounded by black.

The four digits should have a steering cap with a Keystone center. Hope that helps some and is not too confusing, WB.

My 770 is a late model flat top, my center is white with the orange and green shield. I saw the relisted 770 on ebay with the black center and it got me thinking.
