I would take a look at other tractors similar in size to your Oliver 550 that have a ROPS. Use at least 2x2x.188 wall tubing. Square is stronger than round tubing. Contact a local machine shop to help with the bending. Overbuilding will not hurt. Besure to mount the ROPS securely on the tractor. Some problems to note, on the letter series farmalls, the axle castings are not strong enough to survive an rollover with ROPS mounted on the axles alone. So tie your mounting points into several places on the tractor. You may find a 4 post design will be easier to mount.
