What year is my Super 55

Author Message   Jeff Chappell Posted on Tuesday, November 30, 2004 - 5:11 pm:    I bought a Oliver a few years ago and the lady I got it from said it was a 1950 Super 55. Well after reading much of the info provided here I know they didnt make them until 54. My spec # is 25-0043 and the serial # is 50 901-518. It is equipped with a back hoe. I have pictures but dont know how to show them.   Chris Losey (Admin) Posted on Friday, December 3, 2004 - 12:32 am:    Looks like yours is a 1957 model. To post an image, tyoe the following in your message: \image{description} You can put anything you want where it says description, but everything else has to be the same. It will ask you for the location of the picture on your computer after you click on the post this message button. Or you can email the picture to me and I'll add it for you. webmaster@olivergang.org   Jeff Chappell Posted on Friday, December 3, 2004 - 11:08 am:    \imagebackhoe   Jeff Chappell Posted on Friday, December 3, 2004 - 11:10 am:      Jeff Chappell Posted on Friday, December 3, 2004 - 11:13 am:    Thanks Chris, it only took a computer illiterate guy like me twice to get it right.

I'm surprised it doesn't break the frame in half.   Jeff Chappell Posted on Sunday, December 5, 2004 - 8:51 pm:    Yeah she tends to do wheelies from time to time especially going up hills. Fortunately I can steer with the brakes. No problems with the frame though, I have broken both front tires off on two different occasions, when I forget to put the bucket down and land on my tires after breaking tree roots and such. Its done lots of work and I am pretty proud of her.
