IP: 67.2.249.249 Posted on December 29, 2005 at 10:30:34 PM by Larry Harsin

Your Dad's Oliver 60 RC was built in 1943. The engine is a Waukesha/Oliver 4 cylinder engine, 120.6 cu. in. 18.7 PTO horsepower. The shipping weight is 2010 lbs. When these tractors were built, a computer moved along the assembly line with them and as things were put into the tractor, the computer card was punched. They have these "Build Cards" at the Museum in Charles City. They havn't figured out all of the codes yet, but they have a lot of them. For a fee of approx. $10, they will look up your Build Card and tell you what it says about your tractor. They will even tell you to what dealer it was originally shipped. You will have to give them the serial number. Phone: 641-228-1099 Email: fchs@fiai.net Larry

You probably could, but I would still recommend the 80/90. The first thing that would probably happen with the Hy-Tran is that it might start leaking out of the brake seals. I don't know, it might not. Larry

IP: 68.1.212.184 Posted on December 23, 2005 at 10:29:43 PM by J. Ulmer

I concur that the Hy-tran should not be used in the tranny & rear end as 80/90 has a much higher viscosity to fill the bearing spaces. If it was engineered for the thinner wet disc brakes like IHC 1486 , okay, but it was not so stick to the 80/90.

Larry - took the carb completely apart, cleaned everything, and found a tiny piece of something in the float valve restricting the flow of fuel. Running good again. A few of the brass pieces were pretty worn/bent/cracked. Can I get individual parts? Can I even get a complete carburetor? I think the tag on the one I have is stamped "TSX" or something similar.

what is the difference between a oliver 70 standard and a oliver 70 row crop, and how much more valuble and rare is the standard. Thanks

Re(1): oliver 70

IP: 67.2.248.22 Posted on December 16, 2005 at 05:56:05 AM by Larry Harsin

The Oliver 70 Standard was not built to accomodate a cultivator for cultivating row crops. Their front and wheel spacings are non-adjustable. Production numbers on the Standard are much lower, so that may make it a bit more valuable. It depends on the collector. There aren't as many people looking for the Standard as there are Row Crops. Less demand lowers the value. The same is true for 77 Industrials. They were very low in production numbers, but there is less demand for them. Larry

We are rebuilding a 2655, we put a turbo charger on the engine and it needs another air cleaner to get the right amount of air to run right.

If you could let me know how you put that air cleaner on, that would be great.

No, there are other differences. First of all, I need to ask you if in "Standard" 88 are you referring to a Fleetline 88 or an 88 Standard. An 88 Standard is a fixed tread tractor, non-adjustable. Has a wide front and is not designed for row crop farming. There were very few of this style produced in the Super Series. Larry

The Fleetline was built with 43 hp. The Super had 55 hp. The Fleetline had mounting holes for the pipe-style cultivator only, where the Super could accommodate the pipe-style or the newer drive-in style cultivators. The Super had improved hydraulic systems. Many of the Fleetline tractors had the newer hydraulics installed later. The Super was slightly heavier. Larry

The Oliver 70 thrust bearing is on the front main bearing. There is a thrust flange on one side of the bearing and on the other side is a thrust washer, which is held in place with pegs in the block. Then you have to adjust it with shims. Does this sound like what you have? Larry

Cab heater core hose connections

I'm putting an ALL SEASON cab on my 1966 Oliver 1850 gas.Where do I tie into the cooling system to run too and from the heater core. I would like to beable to valve it out in the summer. Looking at the block I see a 1/4" npt drain on the right side near the back,but that looks to small. On the left side of the block near the back there is a 1/2" plug. Is this were I could install a ball valve and then run it up to the heater core? Coming out of the core were would be the correct location to put the return line?

Re(1): Cab heater core hose connections IP: 67.2.248.151 Posted on December 3, 2005 at 05:44:27 AM by Larry Harsin I think you would be better off to plumb in from the right side of the engine and hook on where the hoses come off of the engine for the hydra-power. Set the hook along side of those. You can't hook in series with the hydra-power, because you want to shut it off in the summer. So, you will have to hook in parallel. Larry

Replacing the Gremmer unit witha Char-Lynn.

This is on the 1800B again.I have heard about doing this instead of rebuilding the Gremmer. While mine is in the shop I might as well check into this also. How much of the system does it replace? Does it use it's own pump that runs off of the motor or still used the hydraulic system? Do you replace the drive unit under the radiator also? I have asked several questions about this and Have it down to I think there is a nut in the drive unit that needs tightening and i think you said it has to come out to get to the nut.

Where do I order a Char-Lynn for it and about what do they cost?

I appreciate all of your help and information, I'm learning alot about these old Olivers and the more I learn the more I like them!

Re(1): Replacing the Gremmer unit witha Char-Lynn.

IP: 67.2.248.151 Posted on December 3, 2005 at 05:39:47 AM by Larry Harsin

I would replace the Gemmer unit with a steering cylinder from an 1800C or a 50 series tractor. This means you will eliminate the steering shaft that goes down to the front wheels. Then you'll have to get a hydra-motor that will fit onto the bottom of the steering wheel shaft. You can get one from a salvage yard. I understand that one out of a Massey combine, a 410 for example, adapts quite well. You can use oil to run this from your present flow divider, like the Gemmer did. You will have to fabricate your own lines to carry the oil. Do this instead of the Char-Lynn and it will be less money. Larry

1750 Hydraulics

IP: 69.66.148.142 Posted on November 29, 2005 at 06:05:13 PM by Terry Schwarting

Hello Larry, I recently got a WL-42 Westendorf loader to put on my 1750. It came off of a 4240 Deere. I made my own mounts and got it mounted up good.It came with an external valve.I have taken out the 1/2" pipe plug on the left front corner of the hydraulic cover, screwed in a 3/8"plug inside and ran a hose from there to the inlet port of the valve.I then removed the 1/2" plug near the left rear of the cover and ran that hose to outlet port on the valve. I started the tractor and the pump relief valve kept surging, so I shut it off and did some investigating.Found out that Deere uses a closed center valve, so then I took the closed center conversion plug out of the external valve which made it open center again.I started the tractor up again, now the hydraulic outlets are working, but now the steering doesn't work. What am I doing wrong?

Re(1): 1750 Hydraulics

IP: 67.2.249.181 Posted on November 29, 2005 at 10:05:12 PM by Larry Harsin

It sounds like you have done everything right. Is your flow divider is on the front of the unit or on the side of the unit? If it is on the side of the unit, you may have to hook in different. Most of the 1750's I have seen, the flow divider is on the front. If it is on the front, you may have a stuckie regulator valve on the flow divider. Larry

I'm afraid you are not plumbed right, to go back in with the return oil from the valve. You need to go in closer to where you installed that 3/8" plug. Your return flow should be put in an inch and a half to two inches behind the 3/8" plug that blocked the passage. Larry

IP: 69.66.148.5

Posted on December 1, 2005 at 04:06:39 PM by Terry Schwarting Hello Larry, That is where I currently have the return oil line going.Do I maybe need to go into the 1" plug near the center of the base that is called the exhaust port? What is the difference between an open center and power beyond? Do you think there is too much oil pumping through the valve that it is taking away from the steering? It will not turn either direction when the tractor is running.Any other ideas? Thanks again Terry

Re(5): 1750 Hydraulics

IP: 67.2.248.41 Posted on December 1, 2005 at 06:01:54 PM by Larry Harsin

Put the thing back the way it was before you started all of this, and see if your steering comes back. That way, you'll know if this switching is what is causing your problem. Then, we'll go from there. You shouldn't go into that big port down at the bottom. Open center is the design of the hydraulic system itself. In an open center, your oil flows all the time until you actuate a valve. On a closed center system, the oil does not flow until you move the valve and call for the oil. Power beyond can be employed on either system. I don't think that too much oil pumping through there is the problem. I don't know what to think. Just try going back to original and see what happens.

The first thing I would do is take the battery out and put it on a charger and make sure it is working o.k. Then put it back in the tractor and watch the ammeter and see what the charging rate is. If it is in the normal range, like 5 amps when you first start it and then eases off, then all systems are o.k. If this doesn't fix it, you could have a bad battery or the voltage regulator is messed up. Larry

You have to have a 12 volt regulator and a 12 volt generator. Otherwise, you are going to have problems. Larry

I installd a ammeter gauge and started it up with the 6v.regulator and it read 20 ampers. Then i used the 12v. regulator and it still reads 20 amp. unles i unhook the post wier from the battrey, Then it reads 8-10 ampers. is my alternator putting out to much?

I don't think so. You are going to have to do what we talked about on the phone -- put on the different regulator, etc. Larry

Seat unit for 1961 880

My father is restoring his 1961 Oliver 880 and is in need of a seat assembly. This is one of the first years of the 880, so I beieive that the unit from a 77, or 88 would also work. Any ideas where to find these parts? He lives in North Central Iowa.

Sometimes you can find them in salvage yards. Check with Eiklenborg Salvage at Applington IA or Doug Johnson at Aplington IA: Email: dougolpt@cnsinternet.com A unit from a 77 or an 88 would also work. You can get parts to rebuild the seat assemblies from Korves Bros Oliver. Website: www.korvesoliver.com Larry

Oliver 550

I am trying to find the year of an Oliver 550. The serial #1101-519. Where can I find this info?

You should have another digit with the first four numbers - like a 6 or 7 in front of them. The 519 part of the serial number has to do with the gearing etc that went into your tractor. Your tractor could be a 1958 or a 1959. Let me know the other number and we can tell you for sure. Larry
