Three point hitches are only available as a take-off from a junk tractor. Since few Super 55's or 550's get junked, expect to never find a three point hitch, or if you do, expect to pay $500-$1000 for it. BTW, the Super 55 became the 550 which became the White 2-44. The tractor was made until 1975! Price without a 3-point is tough. Are you sure you want that trouble? I would only buy it if I had a three-point hitch lined up or if I was never going to use a three point hitch. It could be made into a nice all-terrrain forklift though, if the price was cheap enough ($1500 range). Parts are readily available (except sheet metal and three-point hitches). Watch for a weak PTO clutch, they are expensive to replace ($500 for parts only). The clutch is strong enough, just that the tractor is 40+ years old and those things wear out! Does it have any hydraulic controls? Are the rear wheels the type that can be widened without removal? Those are both good options. (My Super 55 has both, but I need the sheet metal piece at the front of the hood.) Mark in Austin
