What's it?

What is it? Worth the asking price? " Haven't had time to fool with it....".. I messaged haven't heard back

Maybe a model 500 or 550

Looks like an Oliver 55. Not sure if it's a super.

Guessing 2500 if it runs and operates properly.

That would be an Oliver Super 55 diesel. It has an American Bosch pump and there are no hard parts available. Does it run? Fooling with it if it doesn’t run is NOT advised until that injection pump comes off and is checked. In fact spinning the engine if bad diesel or water got into the pump will sheer off a part inside the pump which is, again, not replaceable.
They’re an amazing tractor for sure, just be careful.

Just looking at it from the back, I would say that the drawbar mount casting is broken off that is why it has no drawbar. I have seen that several times The seller will never tell you that either. You have to look under the tractor.

What drawbar mount casting? There isn’t supposed to be one. I can see both drawbar mounting brackets in the picture. The swinging drawbar cradle had to be removed to use the three point. They are missing more often than not because most guys just opted to use a spreader bar on the three point.

Super 55 diesel. It’s an earlier one because it still has the fuel fill under the hood. Mismatched tires, drawbar cradle missing, primary fuel filter bowl missing and housing bypassed all together, looks like secondary fuel filter is completely missing, radiator cap/fuel fill door missing, wrong seat, wrong steering wheel, wrong starter, batteries gone, exhaust pipe, mount, and clamp gone, dash has been cut, left hand foot plate has been cut, tool box lid missing, hacked up wiring harness, alternator scabbed on, and that’s just what I can tell from the pictures. About the only positive thing I can see is the grill halves and nose cone are straight as an arrow which is highly uncharacteristic. The fact that it looks like it has been ran without fuel filters on a Bosch PSB pump is scary in its own right. Super 55 diesels aren’t exactly common but the state that one is in, unless is will actually sit there and run, which I would be scared to try, it’s worth scrap price.

Super 55. I owned a gas burner at one time. They are a good utility tractor although i suspect this diesel version would be a money pit. The fact that some repair parts for the pump are available would be enough to pass for me. However it could possibly be parted out and make money.

They did not make a straight 55 so a super 55

i see a price on the add. no way i pay that for it. needs rear rubber, 2 different size tires on it. who knows on a diesel what else ? 500.00

A has been said, it's a Super 55. It's not worth close to asking unless that injection pump is free assuming it "ran when parked." There's really no way to tell unless you mark the gear and pull it and check. I don't see anything special on it so scrap value it is. $4-500 I think right now. It doesn't even have tire value.

Not many of them around. You should have going by the end of the weekend .

You missed the aftermarket seat. Otherwise you got it covered. Not much good to be said for it other than it's an Oliver Super 55. That's all it has going for it.

We've had three of them, a diesel and two gas. I still have one gas. They were a great little tractor. If that one was gas, yes, good price. Diesel, it's a big gamble. Running, sure, non running, and there's something wrong with the injector pump, you might die of old age before you find the parts for it. I paid $1000 for the gas I have now. I've got about $2500 in it now, but I wouldn't take that for it.

Olivers hold a little bit of value but that's not a $950 tractor, especially if that PSB pump is broken.
