Often I have wondered, but never asked. When I was a kid, we had an Oliver 77 and 1949 Cockshutt 30 and '57 or '58 Cockshutt 550. The Cockshutt 550 had a Hercules 4 cyl gas engine and six speed transmission with a double H pattern as did the Ollie. If I remember correctly, and I may not, the shift pattern was identical on the 550 and 77. Did Cockshutt buy the transmission gearsets from Oliver and put them in their housings? The 550 was not an Oliver clone as some earlier and later Cockshutts were Olivers in different clothes. Except for the shift pattern it was NOT an oliver. Any insight is appreciated.
