My neighber has a Oliver 550 which is about the same size as the Super 55. I helped him install a loader to his tractor. The loader came from a Massey Ferguson I think. It fit to the frame with little trouble. The hydraulic pump was mounted to the front weight with a custom built shaft going to the engin. The shaft should be built by an experanced machinists in order to get the shaft running true. The 550 has no power steering but the loader is very useful. When moving heavy loads stearing in tight spots can be a challange. I have used the tractor and loader but remember when you lift a heavy load to counter weight the rear to keep it on the ground and to get plenty of traction. Good Luck!
