Yikes sounds like you have tractor fever! Don't get over excited and buy in a hurry just because you think it might sell quickly. Take your time and look the tractor over really well. If you miss this one another will come along. Where are you located? That can make a big difference in price. I paid $2,600 Canadian ($1,800 US) for my Super 55. It is much like the 550. Does this tractor have power steering? If not take a test drive with a full load in the bucket. Most parts can be found. If you can't find something, put a posting in the Oliver section of the Tractor Cafe. Someone will be able to tell you where you might be able to find a part. White dealers can get parts too. If you want a few websites for Olivers go to the following sites and check out their links on the Tractor Ring. http://www.hpoca.org/ is the Official Hart-Parr Club, http://www.abelink.com/personal/kcoers/ is Oliver Haven, http://www.ainop.com/users/cowboys.airranchtwo/launch.html Has links and restoration photos. Good luck. If you get this tractor at a price you think is fair I know you will enjoy it.
