In all the research I've done on it,I still don't know. I don't know if it was initiated by Oliver or David Brown. I do know that DB had a dealer network in Canada and not in the US. It's assumed that they wanted to get them in to the US market and approached Oliver about selling them through Oliver dealers. They weren't much of an upgrade from a 550. They had a differential lock and the 550s didn't,but they had a two stage clutch instead of independent PTO.
One interesting thing I've come across,at least as I understand it. The David Browns were red with yellow wheels until they established a dealer network in the US. When they did it they took over several Ford branch houses and some dealers when Ford dumped them. Most of those dealers were selling Bolens lawn and garden tractors. The brown and white was the color of the Bolens,so DB painted their tractors to match the Bolens LGTs that the dealers were selling.
