The 770 head would be a good choice to put on your 77. It will fit right on there. Larry

70 standard differential bearing removal and replacxement

Posted by jim vorst on January 29, 2018, 4:20 pm

How do I remove the worn out bearing that is behind the differential brake drum? This is the large bearing that supports the differential gear. Is there a way to remove the bearing from the outside 158without removing the final drive cover? Thanks

Oliver 1750 gas

Posted by Rob Fleer on January 24, 2018, 8:55 am

Larry,
Bought this 1750 Oliver from a man in Northwest Iowa about 15 years ago. His Father was the one who used it. Anyway it came with an electric fuel pump (NAPA) in line under gas tank. When the tractor starts acting like it is starved for fuel I replace the fuel pump. Usually I can go 2 years or so. Put the latest on in June 2017. Yesterday pushing snow & working great after 3 hours tractor started loosing power. Got a new fuel pump & it works great again. Does this tractor need an electric fuel pump? Have 5 - 770 Olivers & they don't need a fuel pump. I took gas bowl screen out & it was fine. Gas comes out of gas tank good. Just wanted to know if this tractor needs an electric fuel pump. Also use 10% ethanol. Don't think tractor is vapor locking.
Thank You

An electric fuel pump might solve your problem. I don't know since you are having that kind of trouble. I really don't have any other suggestions either. Larry

Oliver 1370

Posted by Steve Carpenter on January 23, 2018, 1:38 pm

I have a 1370 Oliver tractor in Oliver colors with special Oliver 1370 decals. The decals include a small "WHITE" decal on the front cowl. This tractor has been completely restored.

I was told that the tractor was assembled in Iowa before the 1370 White production took over in Canada. My first question is - Did they produce (assemble) any 1370 tractors in Iowa? And my 2nd question is - Where can I find the 1370 Oliver decals?

I think your tractor was built in Iowa. You may be able to get some decals from Lyle Dumont Decals 641-622-2592 or oliver@lisco.com Larry

Fluids for Oliver 1550 Gas Engine

Posted by Tim on January 21, 2018, 8:15 pm

Larry,
what fluids should I use for the transmission and hydraulics on my Oliver 1550 gas engine tractor? I can't tell any difference (visual) in the fluid type, both seem to use universal hydraulic oil.

I also cannot get the 3-point to lift, is there a valve to engage to set working the 3-point. The front end loader works fine.
Thanks,
Tim

The trans. uses 80-90 trans. oil. The hydraulic uses med hydraulic fluid similar to 20 weight engine oil. On the 3 pt. it may be that a bypass valve needs to be closed. Check your Operator's Manual. Larry

88 Wide Front doesn't turn sharp

Posted by Chris on January 14, 2018, 10:25 pm

I have 3 Oliver factory wide front end tractors. The 77 and the Super 88 both turn sharp right and left. The 88 front wheels turn about half as much. I marked the steering shafts. The 77 and Super 88 shaft turns about 5 times lock to lock. The 88 only turns about 3 times lock to lock. There are no issues with it other than that, no grinding, no skips, equal turning to the left and right. Everything looks factory original. Any suggestions on why it is this way? Can it be adjusted to turn like the others or do I have to change a gear box? Thanks.

Diesel Engine Heater

Hi Larry, what would be the best way to plumb in a circulating coolant heater on an 880 Diesel?

I prefer to use the regular Oliver one. It uses part number 100574A elbow with a 1000 watt heat element. This was the regular Oliver set-up. If you want to use a different after-market heater, it will have to be plumbed in and have heater hoses etc. If need be, give me a call. 712-362-2966 Larry

Are you only running it for short periods in the winter? Does the engine get fully heated up? Is your thermostat working? Condensation happens and gets in the oil unless it gets good and hot.

Re: 1600 oliver gas

I had an old "H" in my shop one very cold day that would not turn over. It had been used to haul one small load of manure each day and never got fully warmed up. Additionally the choke would be pulled out to start it in the cold and would left partially out while loading and spreading. After a couple of months enough water accumulated in the pan that it froze and held the crank and kept it from turning. It took two days to thaw it. New oil, filter, and it was on it's way.

Sounds ike these guys have the right ideas. The solution might be to change the oil more often in cold weather under these conditions. Larry

Super 55 brakes

Posted by Dale Berg on January 11, 2018, 6:10 pm

I have a question for you..

I am about finished with my Super 55 and am starting to drive it around a bit..

I am having problems backing off the brakes enough.. I replaced the linings when I reassembled the tractor. I have the adjusting bolt backed off, but the brakes are still dragging.. I have loosened the bolts that hold the brake housing together slightly, that helps of course.

Have you run into this problem in the past?

Thanks,
Dale

Re: Super 55 brakes

Posted by Larry Harsn on April 10, 2018, 9:26 am, in reply to "Super 55 brakes"

Yes. I know what you are talking about. Maybe sure the springs on the actuators are good. Also, make sure all of the linkages are free and not binding. Larry

Re: Super 55 brakes

Posted by Larry Harsin on April 26, 2018, 8:11 am, in reply to "Super 55 brakes"

Yes. I have had that problem in the past. But you just have to keep working at it and it will come. Sorry for the lateness of this answer. Larry

oliver 1850 diesel lift pump

Posted by Larry Mason on January 10, 2018, 4:28 pm

I needed to replace the lift pump and bought a used one on Ebay. When I installed it, I left the outlet line off to check fuel flow. When I opened the diesel line the fuel ran continuously out of the outlet of the lift pump. My understanding was that it should only come out when the manual lever was pushed. Is there a check valve that I can fix or am I totally misunderstanding this. Thanks

Re: oliver 1850 diesel lift pump

Posted by Larry Harsn on April 10, 2018, 9:32 am, in reply to "oliver 1850 diesel lift pump"

The first thing I would check is the check valves. That could be the problem. Larry

Oliver Super 55

Posted by Adam Cairns on January 6, 2018, 6:14 pm

Hello, I have a 1956 Super 55 HC that I went to use the other day when it was -11. I always start the tractor and let it run for 5 minutes before I try and do anything with it in the cold and have never had an issue. This time I did that, then drove down the road to our pasture to plow the snow from the driveway,pushed mabey six inches of snow from the entrance and then came back up the road, mabey a 1/2 kilometor. As I turned into the yard I noticed Rad fluid spraying and immediately shut the tractor off. Couldn't see where the fluid had come from so I pushed it into the barn and took all of the sheet metal off so I could check it better. Still no sign of where the fluid had come from. I really needed to out a bale out to the animals so I took the chance that it might have been over full and put the spear on, grabed a bale and put it out. Everything ran fine, no overheating, no more leaking or spraying. Had to put a bale out today, no problems. Its a non pressurized system, if it were overfull could it have sprayed out the rad cap if it had been loose? This is our only tractor, I only have hay to put out this winter and mabey to move a little snow, but now is the time to fix it if need be, it has 110 acres of hay to put up so I cant afford not to have it down. Any advice would be appriciated,

Thanks
