is 55 the only year that had a smooth hood or did it go into 56 also?

Yes it continued into sometime in 56. (If the pictures look too small to read, click them for a larger version)

i figured the smooth hood went into 56 also,i guess there is no way to really tell which year my tractor is, late 55 or early 56

You are correct, Pond was using whatever they had in stock at the time. And that pretty much holds true throughout the RJ run from 55-59. So pin pointing exactly what year you may have is diffucult. Without original paper work you need to measure these tractors with a thumb not a micrometer.
