Source for Oliver 550 parts

[DRussell]

I recently purchased an Oliver 550 that is missing a drawbar and some 3 point hitch parts. Are there any salvage yards that specialize in Oliver parts? I live in PA.

I'm not familiar with your location, but the drawbars were an option and can be somewhat difficult to locate.

I wondered about that. I might have to make one.

As noted, the drawbar was an option, so factory original drawbars can bring some good money. Several years ago, somebody was making an aftermarket drawbar, but it wasn’t exactly like factory. I’ll see if I can find the source when I get a few minutes.

I made one for my Super 55, then I found a factory built at a yard sale in Tennessee last fall for $30.

Call Kent Gordon in Texas, he specializes in super 55-550 parts. 903-729-8349. I bought a lot of parts from him when I had 2 550's.

Thanks for the responses. I'll start with Alvin Hurst since he's the closest.

I did speak with Alvin Hurst and he indicated he has all the parts I need. Thanks again for your assistance.
