1650 hydrolics

IP: 71.164.124.97 Posted on January 31, 2010 at 02:56:30 PM by robert la[age

Larry in an earlier post I was asking about the hydrolics and you said to check for a plug under lf hand side of seat. Well there was a loader on it a few years back, and yes there is a plug there. After I take the plug out what next? Do I need a hose connecting to lf side under the seat by the valve? Thanks

In that passage, you will first come to a 1/2" pipe plug then a bit further is the 3/8" threaded plug. If there is a 3/8" plug in there, Remove that plug and put the 1/2" pipe plug that is closer to you, back in and then it should work. Larry


Oliver 77 Input Shaft

IP: 24.144.165.173 Posted on January 30, 2010 at 06:26:01 AM by Rich

I think I need to replace the transmission input shaft on our 77, it is worn so much that the splines are almost sharp. Is this a big job? Do you have a good one? Do you have an opinion on the aftermarket shafts that are for sale?

It's not a real hard job. I don't have one. The aftermarkets are o.k. They are about half the price and I think they are just as good. Larry


1655 diesel water in oil

IP: 144.29.129.19 Posted on January 29, 2010 at 03:51:46 PM by Cleon Couey

Our 1655 diesel has water in the oil.I have removed the oil pan. I attached a pump up sprayer and pressure gauge to the temp sender hole. Pumped it up to 8 psi.Water is leaking from #s 3,4 and 5 cylinders.#4 the most,#3 next and #5 the least. I was thinking #5 sleeve had gone bad because when I put a new head gasket on in May'09 the #5 sleeve had some scoring. The head was pressure tested and rebuilt at that time also. We have put about 200 hours on the tractor since then. Ever since the new head gasket I would always have to add about 1/2 gallon of water to the radiator every day of running. On start up the overflow pipe would run about that much on the ground.Before water got in the oil, I checked for air in the radiator and it was there. Do I have blown head gasket, cracked block or 3 bad sleeves?

770 steering problems

IP: 67.239.154.108 Posted on January 28, 2010 at 04:04:08 PM by Gary Welschmeyer

Larry I am having trouble figuring out whats going wrong with my power steering on a 1964 oliver 770. The trouble is that the tractor will only steer two thirds of the way to the right. I replaced the hydramotor with a good working unit from a tractor we don't use much. In doing so the tractor is doing the same thing it was prior to replacing the hydramotor. Do I have the lines crossed or is it something to do with the steering cylinder? I have already ordered a rebuild kit from Obrien county imp. . Does that kit include everything I need? Or does my problem lie somewere else. thanks in advanced. gary

You might have something in the front end itself, that has slipped or broken. That would be my first reaction. Larry

IP: 67.239.154.108 Posted on January 30, 2010 at 02:48:37 PM by Gary Welschmeyer

Larry I jacked up the front end and found that I when I had the wheels turned to the right I could push the wheel the other third of the way. The main shaft that connects runs down through the piece that the tie rods are connected to slips. Is there a key broken? What is my next move? Thanks already!!! Gary

IP: 75.105.44.29 Posted on January 30, 2010 at 11:54:21 PM by Larry Harsin

The pitman shaft and pitman arm are splined. The splines are probably worn off. You'll have to get a new shaft and a new arm. Call Tom at O'Brien Co. Impl 800-320-6224. You will have a choice of original equip. or aftermarket. I choose aftermarket because it is cheaper. It is just as good. Larry

Re(3): 770 steering problems

IP: 67.239.154.108 Posted on February 11, 2010 at 06:59:13 PM by Gary Welschmeyer

Larry I got the new pitman arm and the the pitman shaft from O Brien county however the new shaft was 3/8 " shorter. I was concerened about that but Jason at O Brien said it would work. After putting it back together and tightening the bolt into the shaft to 200 ft. lbs as the serviced manual said I was unable to turn the wheels. After futher investigation I found that the the pinion gear was tightened against the steering cylinder housing. Do I need to put a washer of some type on that bolt inside the pinion gear to shim it up. Any ideas? Thanks Gary

hello, i am working on a 1955 super 88 deisel that was my grandpas. i got it running and the clutch would not dissengage to put it into gear. so i bought a brand new clutch plate, pressure plate, pilot and throwout bearing to replace the old ones. well i got it all back together and started the tractor and its doing the same thing with the new parts in it, so i tried adjusting it and i adjusted the fork out so much that it hit the pressure plate but it still wouldnt let me put it into gear.. have you heard of this before? please help because im stuck on what to do. thank you for your time. Joe

Apparently, you have assembled something wrong. Take it apart again and check it out. After reassembling the clutch parts, you should be able to push the clutch pedal down and turn the clutch shaft freely by hand. Larry

thanks, my dad was wondering if there was suppost so be any shims between the flywheel and presure plate? i ask that because when we put it together there was over a 1/4 inch gap from where the presure plate touched the clutch plate and when we tighted it up to moved the fingers on th presure plate in.. could they be moved in to far?

Re(3): oliver super 88

IP: 75.104.188.250 Posted on January 28, 2010 at 11:46:00 AM by Larry Harsin

Not on a Super 88 (shims). Yes, the fingers could be moved in too far. Normally, they don't require shims. But, if you got a new pressure plate, if it required shims, there would be a notice in there telling you that. I have never seen a S88 that needed shims there. Larry


770 oliver dies out

IP: 216.196.65.136 Posted on January 27, 2010 at 06:14:15 PM by Brad

Larry, when we put our 770 oliver under a load, like lifting bales or pushing snow, it frequently dies out. We had the carb. rebuilt, but it din't seem to improve it any. Once it dies out, it will start right back up. Do you have any suggestions.

Re(1): 770 oliver dies out

IP: 75.104.188.250 Posted on January 28, 2010 at 05:07:29 AM by Larry Harsin

Make sure it is getting plenty of fuel to the carb. Sometimes there is a little piece of foreign material in the neck of the fuel strainer. Larry


Gear oil

Should I use 80w90 or 85w140 in my 1957 Super 88?

Re(1): Gear oil

IP: 75.104.191.113 Posted on January 26, 2010 at 05:33:34 PM by Larry Harsin

I would use either SAE 90 Transmission oil or the 85-140. Flip a coin. Larry

Re(2): Gear oil

IP: 208.107.240.7 Posted on January 27, 2010 at 05:21:09 PM by Dave

The tractor will be used in North Dakota winters. Would the 85W-140 be too heavy?

Re(3): Gear oil

IP: 75.104.188.250 Posted on January 28, 2010 at 05:05:10 AM by Larry Harsin

Up there, I'd probably use 80-90. Larry

It's like a White 2-44 or an Oliver 550. The 2-44 is just an Industrial version of the 550. Parts availability is good. Your tractor was built in 1973. Larry

Great!I thought it could be, but under the frame work and with different sheet metal hood and grill{"WHITE"} in center I could not tell. Serial plate wasn't under dash like old 55 we had on Vick's Hi-Trac. Do you think the bushings and pins for the loader bucket are available or will industrial parts probably be machine shop fabrications? Thanks for the info & help on the tractor! Jerry

You are not supposed to remove the snap ring. Put the bolt back in and put the snap ring in there. Then, unscrew the bolt and it lifts right off of the post. That acts as a "puller bolt". Larry

IP: 75.104.183.183 Posted on January 22, 2010 at 07:04:31 AM by Larry Harsin

If you want a different hydraulic unit, check with Tom at O'Brien Co. Impl. 800-320-6224 or Rock Valley Tractor Parts 800-831-8543. You must have a blockage somewhere. Someone may have had a power beyond circuit for an external loader valve on there and has blocked the passage with a 3/8" socket head pipe plug. That passage is on the front left corner of your top lid, directly below the seat bracket. This is probably what is your problem. Remove that pipe plug and it should work. Larry

You could or try pushing the injector plunger down by hand useing a piece of wood. The plunger will be stuck on the one? or ones stuck.Take out the stuck one and soak in diesel. Then try tapping the rack lever with a plastic hammer. I have freed up lots this way.

i bought a 550 diesel about a year ago it would not run it had gotten hot so we put in new sleeves and rings and pistons now when we try to start it it takes a shot of starting fluid to get it running then several shots to get it running on all 4 and if you shut it off and let it set a minute or to after you have it runng good it will take starting fluid to get it running again any ideas where to start thanks David

IP: 75.104.183.183 Posted on January 19, 2010 at 10:16:45 PM by Larry Harsin

I would check the pressure at the couplers and if the pressure is not at least 2000 lbs, I would get some shims for the main regulator valve and get the pressure up to 2100 - 2200 lbs. Sometimes this will alleviate the heating. Larry

880 diesel

IP: 70.51.58.135 Posted on January 11, 2010 at 06:58:34 PM by Don

Just bought an 880 diesel. At high rpm the coolant is coming out near radiator, not sure exactly where until I remove the tin. Drained the coolant and after sitting for a few days there is a small amount of oil floating on the coolant. Any suggestions on what to look for? Also the tractor has the power traction hitch, and someone raised the drawbar and bent the pto shaft. Can the shaft be straightened or should I look for a new one? Thanks. Don.

Re(1): 880 diesel

IP: 75.104.183.142 Posted on January 11, 2010 at 09:58:38 PM by Larry Harsin

Check the engine oil and check for anti-freeze in the oil pan. Watch for bubbles in the radiator neck when the engine is warmed up. You may have compression entering the water jacket some way. It could be a bad head gasket or a cracked cylinder head or something else. You will have to replace the PTO shaft. You can't straighten it. I might have a PTO shaft. Give me a call: 712-362-2966.

1650 Tractor Questions

IP: 166.231.30.13 Posted on January 10, 2010 at 08:05:40 PM by ollie770

Hi Larry - My dad and his cousin looked at an early 1650 gasser with loader on it. They had a couple questions. First, the hydraulic level was low - do these leak into the tranny like the earlier Olivers? Second, the the 2-way cylinders when lowering the loader where extremely slow - is there an adjustment under the seat for the return flow of fluid (it uses the tractor's hydraulic valves)? The power steering also turned hard (has wide front). The 1650s get PS fluid from the hydraulics via the flow diverter, right? Last question, the frame on a late model 1600 and early 1650 are the same, right? Thanks in advance for your help!

Re(1): 1650 Tractor Questions

IP: 75.104.183.142 Posted on January 11, 2010 at 05:56:03 AM by Larry Harsin

No, they don't leak into the tranny nearly as bad as the earlier Olivers. On the 2-way cylinders, yes there is an adjustment for the speed of the drop and it is illustrated in your Operator's Manual. If you need an Operator's Manual, you can get one from the Museum in Charles City 641-228-1099. For the hard turning, I would check the pressure at the flow divider. If it is below 1000 lbs., I would use shims and raise it to 1300. Yes, the PS gets fluid from the hydraulics via the flow divider. The frames are the same. Larry

Larry, I purchased a super 55 diesel and am trying to figure out the year, the serial number is 30 888-518 spec number is 15-0006 do you know the year and also I was pushing snow today and had some trouble with the tranny. The shifter seemed to mess up and what I mean it would not go into the proper gear it wold only go forward one time and the pattern wasnt right I messed with the shifter for a while and it was ok then did it again and would only go backwards. It was like the linkage of shifter wolud go in the wrong place, and lastly the 3 point hitch would bleed off constantly any ideas?

Re(1): Super 55

IP: 75.104.183.142 Posted on January 11, 2010 at 05:49:39 AM by Larry Harsin

Your S55 was built in 1955. The poppet springs may be getting weak on your shift rails. On the 3 pt., probably the O ring on the lift cylinder piston is getting worn to the point it needs to be replaced. You can fix both of these problems while you have hydraulic unit off of the tractor. Larry

it bleeds of when the motor is shut down and wont stay up long with weight on it while running, also if the motor which is diesel isnt getting up to temp, would it cause un burned fuel, Im thinking someone took the thermoustat out.

Re(5): Super 55

IP: 75.104.188.250 Posted on January 29, 2010 at 05:54:48 AM by Larry Harsin

If they took the thermostat out, the engine doesn't run at the right temp. It must have a thermostat to work correctly. Larry

Re(1): rpm

IP: 75.104.183.142 Posted on January 7, 2010 at 06:09:49 AM by Larry Harsin

On the governor spring between the carb and the generator, take out the stops and set it so that it has fewer active coils. Normally, they had 19 active coils and you can take out 1 or 2. If this doesn't do it, remove your governor housing and inspect it for worn parts. Larry


Running a Hydraulic Motor with 880

IP: 66.73.158.70 Posted on January 3, 2010 at 07:33:39 PM by Dave

Are there any problems with using an 880 to run a hydraulic motor? I'm needing a newer auger and there is one close by that has the swing away hopper hydraulically driven instead of a gearbox. The auger has a flow control valve on it.

Re(1): Running a Hydraulic Motor with 880

IP: 75.104.183.142 Posted on January 3, 2010 at 09:55:34 PM by Larry Harsin

My experience has been that the 880 system is not capable of handling the application you are describing. The augers I have encountered are designed to use 2000 lbs. pressure and need more GPM and a tractor with an oil cooler for the hydraulic. The 880 system can develop a maximum of 1250 psi. Larry


880 power steering

IP: 24.111.52.169 Posted on January 3, 2010 at 12:29:19 PM by Dave Wicks

I have a 880 D with power steering and the power steering pump is mounted on the front end of the engine block not on the back end of the generator. This appears to be unusual as all of the manuals I have looked at show the pump on the back end of the generator. Power steering works very well. My 880 D is equipped with an alternator. Can you explain what I have?

IP: 75.104.183.142 Posted on January 3, 2010 at 09:52:35 PM by Larry Harsin

Someone did a conversion on the tractor. What you have found is not unusual. When you go to an alternator, you have to change the system. Larry

MY BRAKES SHUDDER AND LOCK UP AT TIMES. I FIND THE BRAKE PEDAL PIN LOOSE,A BAD SHOE AND A STRIPPED ADJUSTER. HOW DO YOU REMOVE THE BRAKE DRUM AND WHERE CAN I FIND PARTS FOR THE BRAKE SYSTEM. I HAVE THE COVER OFF AND SEE A LARGE NUT WITH A SQUARE CENTER LOCKED WITH A BENT LOCKING TAB .IS IT AS EASY AS UNLOCKING THE TAB AND REMOVING THE NUT EITHER WITH A BIG SOCKET OR A LARGE SQUARE DRIVE ADAPTER. THANKS MIKE

Yes. It is that easy. When you find out for sure what you need, you will have to buy used parts. I'll check and see if I have them. You can email me or call me. 712-362-2966. Our email is at the top of the page. Larry

Oh, Yes. We get thanked all of the time. We just enjoy hearing from everyone and helping when we can. Many times, I have left the thank you off of the message when I archive the posts. It saves space in the archives. Sandra

I would say to get an Operator's Manual from Charles City. It will have a wiring diagram in it. 641-228-1099. Larry
