I have an 1850 oliver and loader is weak on it and don't believe it would lift a bale, also when you try steering when you start it it won't steer until you move tractor. I did change filter but it didn't help.

You need to get a pressure gauge and check the pressures. If it doesn't have at least 1500 lbs. the pump is probably weak. You can add shims to the relief valve, but I'm guessing that you probably have a weak pump. Larry

Oil filter for Oliver 70

IP: 75.170.199.76 Posted on September 29, 2013 at 01:38:20 PM by Clay McNaughton

Larry, I posted a message some time ago regarding low oil pressure on an Oliver 70 that I own. You replied to change oil and go to a heavier weight which is what I'm doing. I have discovered another problem with this tractor now. I started the tractor to let it warm up in order to drain the oil. I checked the filter several times and noticed it was not getting warm even though the tractor had attained operating temperature. I drained the oil and removed the filter and there was absolutely no oil in the filter. What do you suggest to look at first? I haven't done anything yet, I thought I better run this one by you. Thanks!

Check to see if the feed lines to the filter are plugged. Blow them out with a compressor. Larry

Will do, thanks Larry. Another question, I'm going to pull an Oliver 77 diesel engine out and I need to know what the engine weighs approximatley. I've got a friend who has a cherry picker but it is rated at 900 lbs. Is that enough or do I need a bigger one? Thanks!!

Got another question for you. I've got the brakes off of this 77 and they need some work. Who can turn down the drums and realign the brake bands? I assume someone like Arnold Motor can. Also the seals have been leaking. It looks like changing them is fairly straightforward. Do you recommend changing them? I know sometimes on older equipment trying to get perfectly dry seals is an effort in futility. Thanks Larry.

Re(4): Oil filter for Oliver 70

IP: 184.21.185.185 Posted on October 2, 2013 at 08:29:40 AM by Larry Harsin

About 900 lbs is what it weighs. The Cherry picker should be able to do it. I would put new seals in it. Arnolds should be able to machine the drums. And they should be able to do the seals too, Larry

3 point hitch won't work

I would appreciate any information possible. I have a 1963 1800 Oliver C. I was mowing some hey with a leaky cylinder on a hey conditioner. I was about done so I finished up I lost the power steering. I ended up putting about a gallon a half to two gallons of hydraulic fluid to get it back to level. I had to work the power steering back and forth for several minutes to get it to work. But I noticed the next day the 3 point hitch arms were down. I cannot get them to go up or down its like there is air in the system is that the problem?everything on it worked fine before the hydraulic fluid got low I hope it is an easy fix any information would be helpful thank you.

1850 diesel : oil pump looses prime

IP: 100.42.80.203 Posted on September 8, 2013 at 08:38:58 AM by Dennis Hammer

hi Larry, I have an 1850, Perkins Diesel. Am having trouble with the engine oil pump loosing prime. Have taken the oil pump out of the block and run it in a pail of oil ,with a drill. Seems to pump plenty of oil and pressure. Oil pressure is always a little slow comming up on the dash gauge but it runs at 40 to45 psi. Checked the pump with a feeler gauge and know it is warn out of specks but why will it work ok but loose its prime ? Replaced o rings on all the lines. Could only get it to work by filling pump with oil and reinstalling . Have been using 15-40 oil. Tried pouring oil in filter , and cooler lines but that did not work.

Changing rear tire on Oliver 1855

IP: 70.194.5.187 Posted on September 5, 2013 at 09:42:52 AM by Jerry Shannon

I have to swap out a rear tire on my Oliver 1855. Plan on doing this myself. I have a mounted tire on a rim ready to swap on. Question is this. Are there steps to take when taking tire off? Do you have to take the U bolt off as well as the wheel nuts to get tire off? I know this is sound stupid but i have changed many semi truck tires but never an Oliver Tractor Tire. And yes I know how heavy it is as it is also filled with Chloride. Thanks Larry.

Re(1): Changing rear tire on Oliver 1855

IP: 184.21.185.185 Posted on September 6, 2013 at 07:38:53 AM by Larry Harsin

If the lug bolts for the rim clamps face out, the rims should come off of the center cast without having to take anything else off. If the rim clamps that hold the rim to the cast are on the inside, then you will have to pull the whole assembly off before you can get the rim off of the cast. As you say, that tire (wheel) is very heavy with the fluid in it. Have someone else around in case it ends up on top of you. Larry
