    Please help: Steering parts for 1960 Oliver 550

    I went down this rabbit hole for might ‘59 as well. I ended up buying a rebuilt unit from this site that was done right. Picture shows the different shaft lengths and types I bought to try and make work. Tried shortening the tube length but couldn’t get it adjusted properly to function smoothly...

    The YT Forum Culture

    Please keep an eye out for the passive aggressive, thought out responses that are clearly crafted to make someone feel stupid for the sake of making oneself feel better. It’s one thing to provide direct information that may require thicker skin to digest. It’s a whole different situation when...

    To add to how things have changed

    Grew up with an S10 and Ranger, been rocking older minivans. I just bought a full size truck for my business. The heated steering wheel on cold hands is absolutely amazing and I can’t tell you how much I love having a full size. Three car seats along the back, can hand all the snacks back to...

    I think I read a post about your 460U acquisition, looked like a mighty fine machine! The fun never ends with these as we all know, though I am a bit glad to not have to deal with the wire wheels and sanding and primer and spray paint this time around. I’m sure I’ll be into that TA someday...

    Thank you! A 1960 340U that is an evolution of the 300/350/330Us that I think was IHs answer to the Fords and Olivers. Wanted a 430 as I think those Eagle Hitches are neat, maybe someday. Big fan of your avatar! PO said he rebuilt pump and cleaned filter. Read the archives, found a bit about...

    Thought I’d share a happy occurrence that is relevant to this forum. I only have space for utilities and brought an International into the family this weekend. Took a journey to grab it and drove back through snow and rain to get home. It is well cleaned up but needs mechanical attention to the...

    Looking a at Jubilee for around the yard work

    Greetings A Jubilee or NAA is a great classic tractor, but not particularly heavy duty at all. For grading a drive or plowing a bit of snow it’s great, but a 3 point backhoe would destroy the hitch and while many were fitted with loaders, the front bolster pivot pin will get worked and so will...
