Oliver 550 questions from a West Texas Boy

[Katmaan]

I am after a few answers and I hope the experts here can help.
I have an Oliver 550 with the Specification # 35-0034 and serial # 60 817-519.
I am curious about the year model.
I also have the engine apart to perform an overhaul.
I am having difficulty finding the pistons and sleeves for this engine(144 CID ) I believe.
I have acquired everything else but those parts.
You guys ( YT) and Reliance parts do not have any in stock with no ESD for building any.
My questions are:
1. Year model
2.Correct CID of engine.
3. Availability of parts.
Thank you for any assistance.

I5t is a very early 1958 550 as serial numbers start 60 501. Put the 3.625 sleeve and pistons in. Is it gas or diesel. Send me an e-mail if you have more questions.

Well, Kent Gordon is in Palestine, TX, and he probably has all the parts you'll need or he'll give you the right answer. His username here is SPMN and he can be reached at 903 729 8349. I've never used him, but anyone who ever has says he's the go-to guy.

I like buying from Korves. Talk them about your parts needs.
