    550 Clutch Safety Switch

    My tractor never had the rod, but I have considered making one. My switch is also bypassed. Your switch should have a little plunger on it that pushes in. In my photo the small bolt holds the plunger in, the switch still functions if I remove the bolt. I think the small bracket with the bolt in...

    Oliver 550 front axle pin

    Mine came out pretty easily because the pin and axle were badly worn. Ordered a new pin from Agco dealer and had the axle bored and bushing installed. I think hole was a 4+ degree angle. Good Luck

    550 Brakes

    Take the cover off to check, simple mechanism inside. Probably a broken spring or linkage on the threaded rod clevis. Mine was broken on the clevis last year and binding, I was able to repair it. I like to take the back wheel off so I have more room to work on it. Good Luck

    Lost oil pressure yesterday.

    Here are a few photos from the Oliver Shop manual discussing low oil pressure and the relief valve. Note the difference between this manual and the I&T manual (Photo posted by TD3) I own both manuals. I&T is more of an overview. Good Luck!

    550 hydraulic oil specs

    I used mine for many years as is, chasing down leaks and fixing things here and there. Finally took it out-of-service one summer and did a full rebuild and paint. Glad I did as it it a joy to use, but you'll put more into it than it is worth during the process. Great little tractors.

    550 hydraulic pump

    Mine gets hot also, too hot to touch. Yesterday I used the Brush hog for an hour in 90 degree weather. Measured the filter temp with a laser thermometer and it was 130 degrees. It has always concerned me too, but I don't use it for hours on end. I think your OK. Enjoy the new tractor.

    Oliver 550 Tranny Spanner Nut

    Do a Google search for hook spanner wrench or shock spanner wrench. They are 'C' shaped with a hook on them and I bet they would work. I use to adjust the spanner nut on coil-over springs on atv/snowmobile shocks. Good Luck.

    550, what's this thing?

    When I rebuilt my 550 I noticed that the buzzer had been removed. I bought another one from my local Oreilly auto parts - brand: Cole Hersee, part# 4099, $15. It buzzes when you turn the key on and is loud enough to hear with the engine running. When I idle my tractor down very low the light...

    550 front axle

    There is no bushing in there, but it shouldn't have that much play. I put a new axle pivot pin in mine and had the axle machined and a bushing installed. The hole is at about a 4 degree angle. It really tightened things up. See link below from my 2013 fix. SW3 Untitled URL Link
