HELLO ALL,
   I JUST FOUND OUT ABOUT AN OLIVER 500 FOR SALE DOWNSTATE FROM ME AND WONDERED IF ANYONE CAN TELL ME ANYTHING ABOUT THEM. I KNOW THAT IT HAS A DAVID BROWN ENGINE, WAS MADE IN ENGLAND, AND ONLY FOR 3 OR 4 YEARS.  DID THEY HAVE POWER STEERING OR LIVE PTO? I WOULD IMAGINE THAT PARTS MUST BE DIFFICULT TO COME BY. ANY INFO OR THINGS TO LOOK OUT FOR WOULD BE HELPFUL.
    I AM LOOKING ( OR MY WIFE THINKS I SHOULD BE) FOR A 55 OR A 550 FOR MOWING WITH A 7 FOOT FINISH MOWER AND WONDERED IF THIS 500 WOULD BE COMPARABLE TO THESE OTHERS.
                        THANKS,
                              CAL
