i grew up on a farm just north of dallas--we farmed it for a few years,but my dad wasn't a farmer--he was a banker---we had a farmall c &amp; later an m--our farm backed up to an oliver dealership--they also had a grain elevator and a corn sheller--my best friend &amp; i used to ride our horses over there &amp; play in the shuck piles, visit the mechanic, and look at the oliver tractors--i can remember when they got their 1st super 55--it was the "purtiest little tractor" i had ever seen and i told myself that i would have one oneday---sure enough, a few years ago, i bought one at an auction that was supposed to have been restored, but it was a poor job--i later sold it &amp; bought another one to restore and since have bought 8 or 10 more super 55's &amp; 550's mostly for parts---one day i hope to have a good restored super 55 and take it to a show up north and maybe to a tractor drive up there---i too like the sweet sound of the oliver 6 cylinder engine
