Been wanting an Oliver Super 55 for years, and finally picked one up for $1200 that runs good and looks decent. Since there are parts associated with the serial number (&quot;after xxxxx&quot;), do the engine casting numbers shed some light on what the original ID plate stated? My plate is missing, however the engine has the following casting numbers:
left side of block: 180220E
underneath that number is : L100B
to the right of these numbers, running vertically: S121454
Previous owner said it was a 1955 model, but without a tag I don't know how he would have known that.
This is going to be fun. I've done Deere's, IH's, McCormick- Deering and a few others. I always thought the 55's were a good looking - well engineered piece.
Thanks-
Mike
