That is the way some companys made them and I am not hat famiular with olivers but I don't from your picture see any other way to mount as that is a one piece pedistal the same as most of the John Deeres had in the 30's, 40's, & 50's did and that was the only way they could be mounted. Not like the Farmall H & M that had a 2 piece pedistal that you could unbolt the bottom off of to get the steering up to the bottom of the frame. If it was factory Oliver it would not have the pedistal for to put the wheels on for a row crop narrow front end. That way they could convert without having to replace the entire front end. Sears and Wards both had that type in their farm catalogs. It was more of a universal unit to give a way for farmers to get a wide without having to go to a dealer and but the entire front half of a tractor that probably could not be bought so they could have the wide that was needed for certian operations. They just had to have a mounting bracket that would fit the frame on a hundred different model tractors and then just hook the bottom to the tie rods to turn it. That same axle could be put on a Allis, Moline or Custom or Wards I think even a Silver King with single front wheel. Don't recall the price now but it would have been less than half to go to the dealer to buy.
