Can anyone tell if a speedometer was available on any a Oliver tractor, not a tachometer with the speed for each gear at certain RPS an actual speedometer

Here is a 1850 dash, I think all the 50 series are similar. Others also probably have a speedo too, but I’m only familiar with the 1850.

I think maybe the large frame tractors? My 1550 has a speedo-tach.

I got a big surprize when I drove my 1850 yesterday, the speedo was actually working. Must have hit a bump or something that freed the drive cable up. It had not worked in the past 6 years.

This is my brother’s 1850 with the dedicated speedometer. Between the 1550 and the 1850, I don’t know which model started the individual speedometer.
The noted detail that involves my brother’s 1850 is that it’s also got the fender fuel tanks.
It’s also sitting in the weeds, has been for 20 years and he won’t sell it to me.
