Nice 55! I have a 1959 oliver 550...not near as good of shape as your's though!!!

I have probably owned 45 or more Oliver tractors including about 20 crawlers. I have owned that 55 for almost 20 years, had to replace the bull gears when I got it. I have owned a couple of 550's (including one with a 588 loader) as well as 3-4 other Super 55's.

My grandparents used to own a Oliver dealership back in the day, my father was brought up on them on their dairy farm. The 550 is my dad's favorite tractor. Think he has a dozen or so back home along with a wicked nice 770 narrow front!!!
 
Here's to better days.

Back in the 80s when I was in Staten Island, it looked pretty much like this.
Then in the late 90s or early 2000s it was sold and changed to Puglias by the sea.
Then Sandy took it out, and from what I hear it never reopened or if it did it closed shortly thereafter.

I had many a wild weekend in this place :drinking:
