oliver super 77

I have a 1955 Oliver Super 77 Diesel it has 7600 hours, has good oil pressure and power. How many hours are these typically good for before a rebuild is needed.

Keep the oil changed and it should run forever.
Have a super 55 that the hour meter broke years ago and still starts every time even in the dead of winter and has great pressure and power.

Where are you located, I have a 3 point hitch on back and use it to lift them round hay bales and light plowing / discing etc. I know she needs some attention, but only big tractor I got and small won't handle rolls.

North east of Spokane, just outside the city at the base of Mt St Michael.
Our 55 can't handle rolls either and I don't have the need for a big tractor. Dmc

Put hay out with Old Ollie yesterday, Need to do maintenance on her now. I have 3 bottom plow that she pulls without trouble and probably handle 4. Clutch is on last adjustments and needs a new one whenever, not slipping or anything yet. Have to get oil changed and all, It doesn't get a lot of hours on it, maybe a 100 a year or so.
