I have a Oliver 550 gas that I want to sell. The hood and fenders are pretty good original paint, there are places on the frame that the paint is either gone or wore down to the primer. I rebuilt the motor and did some other work on it and painted the parts that I worked on. Trying to decide whether to paint the rest of the frame or leave it. I thought I would try Aumann Auctions, called a week ago and asked to talk to someone. I was told he was gone that day but he would call me the next day. Still haven't heard from them. Mecum auction has a sale coming up in Davenport, Ia next month, so I called them Wednesday and asked to talk to someone about selling my tractor. I was told that he was on another line but he would call me as soon as he was done. Must be one long conversation, I still haven't heard back from them. I guess neither of them want my business.

Super99... Try Hanold Auctions. They are out of the Illinios area. I've done business with Kirk Aumann last year and he treated me well. I'd try him again. They have consignment auctions several times a year. Wingnut
 
Maybe they didn't get the message or forgot. Have had that happen a few times. I just wait and then call a couple more times.
 
Super99: Do I remember correctly that you drive tractors through the ring at the Mecum auctions? Call them again (You need to speak with Paul.) and then you can drive your own tractor through the ring.
 
I would suggest you look at auction results in your area, usually a Google search will provide links. You might be disappointed in the prices that you see.
 
Not sure about auctions. Local dealer has a nice later S55, low hours always shedded and maintained, $3600 or so. Early one with remote and draw bar, needs rear rims, a little rough around the corners but all there, under $3k. 550s in good to decent shape seem to be $3000-3500.
