I can't find any pics that are an exact match to this oliver industrial loader/backhoe.  I'm thinking these are rare and not many survived?  I need to talk with the owner now to see exactly whats wrong with it.  I noticed it has power steering on the tie rods.  It also has a very large bucket on the hoe too.  But it has a lot of steel on the rear fenders the tires are boxed in by the steel over them.  It has tear drop headlites on the top of the rear fenders.  Its more machine than i wanted but if it runs and everything operates for the price i can't go wrong i guess.  This oliver looks as good as any dynahoe i have seen.  The way it looks it needs a good paint job.  The only thing i seen thats broke is the boot on the front loader lever.  I think the rear throttle cable is missing too but the lever is there at the rear near the levers for the bucket.

Is there any oliver models bigger than the 550??  Is there an 880?  I really think its too big to be a 550 now.
