If your Delco distributor has a drive gear on the bottom, you can get a tach drive from a 770 or an 880. Larry

water in cylinders

IP: 167.142.141.179 Posted on October 27, 2015 at 07:49:39 PM by Todd

Larry, we did a minor overhaul on a 1650 gas. New rings and bearings and gaskets. When we went to start it back up there was a lot of water in the cylinders. In fact it was even down in the pan. (about a gallon and a half) We took the head back off and inspected for a crack in the head or block but there is none. The head was tightened to the correct torque and the gasket looked like it lined up almost perfect. Have you any other ideas on what could have caused this much water to get into the cylinders and pan? Have you ever seen a gasket fail to this degree or is there something else we are overlooking? by the way, the old gasket was more of a "tar paper" feel to it with metal rings where the cylinders are. The new gasket did not have this same look or feel. I have ordered another new gasket and we are going to try it again. Thank you

IP: 184.21.143.147 Posted on November 2, 2015 at 07:41:56 AM by Larry Harsin

I don't have any particular thoughts on this. I believe I would try the newer head gasket again. Larry

On a Saginaw power steering cylinder. I am having trouble removing the pinion gear being stuck on the shaft. I have done as manual says, turning the puller bolt CC against the lock ring.Removing the lock ring the gear will not come out. What are we doing wrong

IP: 184.21.143.147 Posted on October 24, 2015 at 08:23:37 AM by Larry Harsin

Do not remove that lock ring. Unscrew the puller bolt and it will pull against the snap ring and loosen the gear from the pitman shaft. It is it's own puller. That snap ring is not supposed to be removes. Larry

My 1955 Oliver is stuck in that it will only go into R2 or 6th. gear. What is wrong that I can't get to shift to other gears and what do I need to do to get it back to shift right? Works great otherwise. New clutch this summer.

IP: 184.21.143.147 Posted on October 24, 2015 at 08:20:44 AM by Larry Harsin

I don't know. You will have to check out your tractor yourself. Did the transmission get low on oil? Look down in there and see if there is a broken shift rail or something. Larry

I'm not sure. I think some of them were factory, but others were field installed. If you could look at an Oliver Part Manual for the 1600 LP, that would help you decide. The museum in Charles City has these Parts Manuals, Operator's Manuals and Shop Manuals for your tractor. 641-228-1099. Larry

Capacity of oils

I am now putting things back together thanks to Larry and his wife. Can you tell me how much hydraulic fluid to put in hydraulic system when totally drained and type to use. Also on transmission and final drive gear oil. How much when drained and what type to use? This is for an Oliver 1600

Re(1): Capacity of oils

IP: 184.21.143.147 Posted on October 16, 2015 at 06:21:18 PM by Larry Harsin

The hydraulic holds between 4 - 5 gal. And the transmission holds approx. 7 gal. Your Operator's Manual gives you this info. You can get one from the Museum in Charles City. 641-228-1099. Larry

1855 hyd pump

IP: 50.187.18.91 Posted on October 13, 2015 at 08:26:14 PM by dan

Larry, I was told that you can eliminate the hyd cooler pump on the 55 series by rerouting the small bypass line off the back of the pump so the oil flows thru the cooler. This supposedly eliminates many problems? What are your thoughts

OLIVER 1550 3 POINT LIFT

IP: 165.166.74.7 Posted on October 12, 2015 at 12:33:47 PM by ERIC

My 3 point lift worked fine except that it leaked oil by the oring seal on the draft control rod and the 3 point lift rod that go into the lift cover. I removed the top cover and took the rods out and replaced the orings and reinstalled the linkages and the top cover and that stopped the leaks and now the 3 point lift will not move. Do you have any suggestion as to what I did wrong?

880 getting diesel fuel in motor oil

IP: 70.195.3.131 Posted on October 11, 2015 at 05:14:06 PM by Matt Nikodim

We have an 880 that is putting diesel in the motor oil. Obviously its getting in through the injection pump but I was wondering if this was a seal I could put in or is it gonna have to be taken to a pump shop and which seal is the likely culprit? It still has the Bosch on it. We have another 880 that we had the same problem with and we put a roosamaster pump from a 1600 on it. We have another roosamaster to convert this one as well but the tractor starts n runs really well as it is now. If it wasn't something too expensive or difficult we would like to keep the Bosch setup for now. Any help is greatly appreciated.Thanks,

I had the same problem with my 1650. It was the lift pump that takes the fuel from the tank and pushes it into the injector pump. The new lift pump was about $90 from Korves Oliver.

The first thing I would check is the little lift pump on the right side of the engine. It might have a bad diaphram. Korves has those. 618-939-6681. Larry

The rod bearings are 45 lbs. The head bolts if they are 9/16ths would be 135 lbs. If they are 5/8ths, they are 175 lbs. except for the 2 head bolts on each end, which are 150 lbs. Larry

Super 55 Hydraulics

IP: 71.146.129.242 Posted on October 8, 2015 at 09:18:30 PM by Karl

I have a 1956 Super 55 with a hydraulic valve on the top of the main case and a loader. I want to remove the loader. The hydraulic hoses have screwed-in fittings rather than the push-in type with self-sealing valves at the hose end and in the socket. Can I safely unscrew those hoses and not have oil all over the place or do I need to somehow drain the oil out of the hydraulic system first?

Re(1): Super 55 Hydraulics

IP: 184.21.143.147 Posted on October 12, 2015 at 07:58:17 AM by Larry Harsin

To drain the oil out, you have to take the hoses loose and pump it out. We have been gone for a few days, sorry to be slow in answering. Larry

Re(2): Super 55 Hydraulics

IP: 206.15.84.66 Posted on October 22, 2015 at 01:02:00 PM by Karl

When you say "pump it out" are you suggesting disconnect the hose connections and let the tractor hydraulics pump out the oil, or using some form of extraction pump? It sounds like the tractor should pump it out, but I just want to make sure that's what you meant.

Oliver 880 steering

IP: 70.67.167.123 Posted on October 7, 2015 at 02:36:16 PM by Mike Roy

I just broke the center or main pin (splined)in the steering box of my Oliver 880. The steering has always been so very difficult to maneuver...I'm wondering if installing a power steering assembly is feasible and can it be done without a professional mechanic? Can you steer me in the right direction to purchase the necessary parts from someone willing to ship to Canada and where might I find installation diagrams?instructions? for converting my armstrong steering to power steering? Can the center pin that I broke be replaced? Haven't been able to find it anywhere... Thank you in advance for your reply...much love for your dedication to helping fellow Oliver enthusiasts.

Larry, I had a 1955 super 88 diesel restored, had to get a different block and complete overhaul kit. I use it for haying and plowing, 50 hrs a year. When it sits i have an oil leak on the floor, when it is running no leak, I have kept the oil on full, could I have to much oil in it. I have taken out half way between the add and full mark, I will plow this weekend and see how it goes.
