550 identity

[TIM COLLIE]

i know by serial number that i have a 1958 550 oliver but how do i tell if it is a super 550 and what is a cornshutt

Can't help you on the oliver ,but this is a Cockshutt 550 Diesel.

 

[Tramway Guy]

For sure, you do not have a Super 550, because there was no such animal.
Before the 550, there was a Super 55, but that is the end of the Super series.....

Cockshutt was a tractor company in Canada- they made their own tractors from 1946 to 1962, then were swallowed up by Oliver, and to play on the good name, Oliver painted some tractors red and cream, and called them Cockshutt 550's. The pic posted by Welding Man is a "Cockshutt Cockshutt" 550, but the "Oliver Cockshutt" also was numbered a 550, creating a lot of confusion.
