Oliver is a good old brand from way back.

They made some cool tractors.

I especially like the 99 with the Detroit Powered Diesel.

biglever, what engine is in your 550 ?

[DWD445]

Cool tractor, still some Olie's around here.
Looks like 1929 was the start according to this link

A farmer down the street we call one armed John has a diesel model

[biglever]

It came in gas or diesel,
Mine is the gas, which was made by Oliver and Waukesha together.
I tore it down and had the head sent out for a valve job.
I use it yr round snow plowing, brushhoging , land plowing
Cultivating, etc.

That's a great Oliver. Nice photographs.

Our neighbor growing up had a couple Olivers and the rest Allis Chalmers. Great farm tractors. Around our area, a lot of the older farmers likened them to Cadillac's. I've never owned either one, just driven a few of each on occasion. Can't say if it's really true or not.

Cool! I love old tractors. I used to have an old Fordson Major, and it probaly had more hours on it than Methuselah, but it never missed a beat.
