The Super 55 was exclusively Oliver. They had truly independent PTO. The tractor driveshaft ran from the clutch,then there was another large hub over that with a hollow shaft to a gear that ran the PTO clutch. The PTO shaft then was engaged with a separate hand clutch on the right hand side of the seat,right behind the 3 point lift lever. No two stage clutch like the Massey Ferguson's and Ford's had at that time. They used an Oliver designed,Waukesha finished engine. Just pretty darned much a bullet proof little tractor. Hands down going away the best there was for their time. There were two versions. The early ones had green wheels. You can differentiate between the two by where the fuel cap is located. The early ones had the cap up front under the radiator cap door. The "Improved Super" had the cap out in the open in the center of the hood. Early green wheeled gas models had a 6 volt system from the factory. The Improved red wheeled ones were 12 volt and had a key start ignition,as well as improved steering. All of the diesel models were 12 volt. Here's a picture of my 57 Improved Super.
