I have this tractor that was part of my late father's estate and hoping someone can provide a little help with value. Please bear with me as I am a novice with these tractors! Here is what I know:
1962 Oliver 550
Loader,PTO,power steering,gasoline engine.
As seen in photos has weight box mounted - missing 3-point brackets,etc but 3 point control arms work fine.
Everything works and runs great. Maintained and used very little as was restored about 10 years ago: Complete mechanical overhaul, paint,excellent condition.
 
Realistically or grasping at straws? There was one pretty much as you describe,except that it was a little newer,had the egg crate grille and had a new paintjob,turned up at least three times on an online consignment auction here in Michigan.
That one brought right around $3500 every time. I don't know if it sold the last time or if they just quit trying.
 
A picture would help a lot. New paint may help or hurt value, depending on quality of the job. Power steering is a plus. What kind of loader is it? An oliver 59a probably doesn't add to the value, but a 1510 in good shape will for sure. How about tires? Good tires will make a big difference. This has a metal bar grill? Without knowing anything, I'd say with a 59a or similar loader, and older tires $2000. With good tires, good paint, and a nice 1510 loader, maybe $4000. A really sharp one, maybe still a little higher.
