63 Oliver 550 Hydraulics

tracfac · May 5, 2021

I have a 63 Oliver 550 and in the process of restoring it. It has a three point lift system as well as a hydraulic drive system installed from the factory. The valve for the hydraulics is a Vickers. The model number is SP-212. Has anyone ever found a kit for these? I have tried several sites that sell parts for these tractors and no one has a kit. I have also emailed Vickers/Eaton directly and they do not support this item any more. Any info at all would be most appreciated!

Well the nice thing is you have the original Oliver factory remote. The bad thing, as you found out, is that there is no kit. You'll probably have to make your own gasket and resort to a local hydraulic shop/hardware store/mcmaster-carr for o-rings.

Yes I have just about come to that conclusion myself. I will tear into it today. Thank you so much for your quick response on this. I appreciate it!

We have the O-ring seal kit on stock for the SP203D Vickers Valve used for the three point lift system on the COCKSHUTT, Brantford, ON Canada built 540/550 tractors year 1958 thru 1962.

How close is it to the 212?

Not real sure. I took it apart today and was able to rebuild it with "o" rings I had in my kit. I reused the old gasket until I get the thinner type material to make a new one with. The spool and springs all looked good.
