oliver 550

[Michael Priar]

Hi guys
just bought a 550. My first experience with olivers. I am needing a front grill. Do parts from this interchange with any other models? Is there a company that sells aftermarket?
This tractor runs very well, all mechanics are sound. Plan on restoring, just need some cosmetics. Paid 850, think I got a pretty good deal. Thanks for the help.

Yeah you got a good deal if it runs OK and is not going to be a money pit later on.See the pictures,top one is a 440 and bottom is an early 550 with the bars grille. Later 550's had what is called the checkerboard grille.

That is a heck of a deal if it just needs cosmetic work. Anyhow, if you need the checkerboard grill click on the link below.

The fiberglass grill will bolt on in place of the bargrill as shown below.  In fact the Company offered it as an update.
