The loader is a Koyker Loader and it is plumbed right to the tractors hydraulics. The 770 we have has live hydraulics, pto, but no power steering. How can I increase this tractor hydraulics pressure, does it require the tractor to be torn in half to overhaul the pump.

Re(3): 770 oliver Hydraulics

IP: 75.105.52.219 Posted on July 29, 2008 at 10:02:33 PM by Larry Harsin

You need to take a pressure reading and see what your operating pressure is. There are shims to set the relief valve up, if it needs the pressure increased. The part number for shims is K2079. The pressure should be at least 1000 lbs. and each shim raises it 150 lbs. You might want to put in 2 shims. I wouldn't go higher than 1250 lbs. You do not need to split the tractor to remove the pump. Test your pressure and then give me a call before you go any further. 712-362-2966. Larry

Re(1): RC 77 steering

IP: 75.105.52.219 Posted on July 29, 2008 at 05:12:13 AM by Larry Harsin

It is adjustable. There are shims on the bearings and there is an eccentric below the sector to adjust the mesh on the worm and sector. As far as your worm gear going bad, there are all kinds of possibilities. However, if you are going to work on this, it is very important not to set the mesh up too close or it will bind. Larry

I have a 2-105 white the hydraulics gets hot after using the tractor for a couple hours. The lift and remote seems to be lifting ok until it gets hot. I have a service manual that explains some test to run on it but it says you need a hydraulic tester to check the system but it doesn't explain what type of tester to use. Do you have any suggestions.

Re(1): 2-105 white hydraulics

IP: 75.104.182.97 Posted on July 23, 2008 at 06:36:00 PM by Larry Harsin

I would get a pressure gauge and hook it into a remote outlet and see what the pressure reads. It should read 2,000 - 2,200 psi. If the pressure is below this, it could be causing the heating. There are shims available to set the pressure up. On the 55 series tractors, this regulator valve is located below the pump. It is the spool closest to the tire. But, I am not sure if the 105 is exactly the same in this area. Your Service Manual should tell you where this is. I have not worked on the hydraulic problems on the 105. Larry

HI Larry thanks for the answer on the power beyond port a few weeks ago.I finally got around to installing a factory three point hitch. The tractor is also has a front end loader.Thats the reason I wanted to used the power beyond port. I decided to use the original controls for the hilift and install a seperate valve for the three point hitch. When I fire up the tractor the hi lift raises until I move the lever I installed for the tree point hitch. Any ideas where I went wrong? Will the control valves off a super 880 will fit 770 gas??

If the engine picks up a load without stalling, that is a good indication that the governor is working properly. Also, if you set the engine at a certain speed and it maintains that speed, that is another good indication that it is working properly. As far as adjustments are concerned, that is covered in your Operator's Manual. If you need a manual, you can get one from the Museum in Charles City. 641-228-1099. Larry

Super 55 Power Steering Questions

IP: 208.69.160.194 Posted on July 18, 2008 at 07:27:38 AM by J Harris

I have a 1955 Super 55 Gas tractor that had been updated to many of the 550 upgrades, including a Char-Lynn power steering unit mounted above the Alternator and ran off a separate belt from a double pully (cylinders are mounted on the radius arms and tie rods). I recently purchased a 1955 Super 55 Diesel tractor and would like to put the PS unit on it, but the pump/reservoir location conflicts with where the air intake lines come around the front of the motor due to the diesels intake manifold being on the right instead of the left like the Gas tractor. Any thoughts on how to make this work? Are there other pump options available that I should look for? I would personally rather not have the pump hanging off the front of the tractor and attached to the drive shaft, but could if necessary.

First, you need to get an Operator's Manual. It tells you how to do this. You can get one from the Museum in Charles City IA 641-228-1099. If the tractor has a dual speed unit, then it is a matter of changing shafts and shifting the gears on the unit. If it does not have a dual speed unit, then the unit will have to be removed from the tractor and a dual speed package installed to make it a dual speed unit. This is a JOB. Larry

If it is a front wheel assist tractor, it is more of a job to check the bearings on it, than a regular tractor. I don't even know if you can replace the bearings on it without pulling the engine. I don't think the front alignment is a big problem. Your AGCO Dealer would probably be able to fix it. I don't know where you are. Larry

550 3-pt hitch hydraulics

IP: 66.162.187.17 Posted on July 11, 2008 at 01:56:11 PM by Andy Wecker

I use my 550 with a 7-ft. Ford 917 flail mower, a boom pole (to skid logs or lift things like a 300-lb. 5-foot Woods tiller or a 8'x12' base of 2x6 pressure treated lumber for a chicken coop), and a metal bed built on pallet forks to carry firewood. Maybe heavy use, but infrequent and I think no more than someone moving round bales of hay with a spear. This year, the 3-pt. chatters/clatters and has great difficulty lifting the mower. I had no problem moving firewood this winter, and in May, I had no problem with the tiller, either with the boom pole to remove it from a trailer or mounted directly to the hitch. Last night, the lift arms moved smoothly through their entire arc, and didn't budge when I stood on one (I weigh 200+ lbs.). Fluid level seem to be good, if anything, too high. I have not been able to diagnose anything by checking my shop manual. I hope it is something like air that needs to bled out of the system as opposed to a tear down. Any ideas or suggestions?

Well, I'm afraid that your pump is getting worn. When it gets warmed up, possibly it is making that noise. However, the first thing I would do is put new oil in the unit, if you havn't already done so. Use a med. non-foaming hydraulic oil. Larry

When I repainted a three years ago, I put new motor oil of a recommended weight (per the manual) in the filler hole directly in front of and below the seat. I have always assumed the transmission and hydraulic pump share the same fluid, and it worked fine for sometime (about 50+ hours total per the hourmeter). 1). Did I do something wrong by doing that? 2). Can someone like Korves source a new or rebuilt pump? 3). If I don't want to do this myself, is there someone near Central Ohio you could recommend from among your Oliver contacts?

IP: 4.248.222.244 Posted on July 13, 2008 at 06:24:00 PM by Larry from Maryland

The hydrolic and rear oil are seperate. You should use HYDROLIC oil in the hydrolic system NOT moter oil. This was changed after the manuels were printed.A 550 should have the filler hole behind the seat on the right,with a dipstick built right onto it. If you have an older tractor it could be in front of the seat,but it would be the one farthest to the rear. The front hole is the trans filler. If you have a remote valve you should check the relief valve in there before removeing the whole unit to get to the pump.

I'm not counting on a miracle, but what difference do you think that will make to drain the motor oil and replace with the hydraulic fluid? Thanks for the clarification and acknowledgment on what my reprinted manual says (motor oil, 10-30W for all season use) vs. what is recommended by you and Oliver after changing the manual (hydraulic fluid). I will drain the system sometime this week, and let you know what happens. Manual recommends 9 qts. of fluid. Judging from my shop and parts manuals, it's pretty clear I have a dual action system with a single control, plus a separate remote hydraulic hook-up with its own valve. I get the impression from other reading that that piece of hardware is a somewhat unique and rare accessory. From going over the shop manual in the last week, I'm still not clear - how exactly do I check the relief valve? Should I just drain, refill and operate the 3-pt. without a load, to see what happens? Over the weekend, the system really did not make any noise when used with the flail mower, boom pole or pallet forks/hopper, but I had moved the top link from the highest point on the draft control down to the lowest connection point. That fixed the noise, but range was poor (I had to move the control quite a bit until it began to lift at all, then it fell a good bit short of maximum lift).

When detergent moter oil came out everyone realised it would be bad for hydrolic systems to carry all the dirt around in the system,so the change was made to hydrolic oil. I don't have a remote valve on mine so i have not worked on one. Other fellows report that the relief valve is one of the common problems with that valve. All the fluid goes through that valve before it gets to the 3 point. i hope Larry H can tell you about checking the relief.

There is a relief valve in the remote valve, that will affect the operation of the relief valve in the 3 pt. as well as the relief valve in the 3 pt. servo valve. But if it is working, I would just leave it alone. I would put new hydraulic oil and new filter in the hydraulic unit. Larry

Bill, the guru at the local Carquest, agrees with you and Larry from Maryland. He thinks he can supply the filter once I get him the part number. The current one I replaced a few years ago, and got that from Korves I think.

You may need to ajust the turnbuckle behind the seat near the spring. Be sure to leave some free play at the top so the pump is not pumping against pressure all the time.

I've gotten parts for my 520 baler at Ag Parts First... easy to deal with. You can find them online. The oliver 620/720 became the Hesston 4500 after Oliver sold the design. You might get lucky at a dealer that services Hesston equipment.

Where can I find a fuel pump or rebuild kit for an Oliver 1250 gas tractor? Are any other fuel pumps interchangable? I have found a pump for a 1250A and It looks like the one for the gas are they same?

I don't know if they are the same. That is a Fiat Oliver. Check with Maibach Tractor 800-808-9934 or Ag Parts First 866-264-9720. And you could also check out this website in Canada: www.sphosting.com/dsl/index.html Larry

1800 steering

IP: 64.90.95.11 Posted on July 9, 2008 at 07:00:29 PM by Troy Mevissen

I have an 1800 c series diesel with power steering. I don't know what the steering system I have is called but it has a valve at the end of the steering wheel and a central piston at the yolk up front. I can only steer to the right and can't find out what is going on. My local White dealer has been no help. Please advise.

Re(1): 1800 steering

IP: 75.105.50.67 Posted on July 9, 2008 at 10:01:26 PM by Larry Harsin

Uaually in that situation, the hydra motor on the bottom of the steering wheel, in the dash, has to be replaced. Larry

Re(2): 1800 steering

IP: 64.90.93.132 Posted on July 12, 2008 at 04:08:32 PM by Troy Mevissen

I have replaced it with 3 other used ones and they all act the same. Do you have a schematic that I could follow to try to trouble shoot the hydramotor? Is there anything else that it could be since I cannot get a new one according to my dealer?

Re(3): 1800 steering

IP: 75.105.50.67 Posted on July 12, 2008 at 10:32:56 PM by Larry Harsin

You must have a problem in the steering cylinder under the radiator. The steering cylinder will have to be taken apart. There are check balls and springs in the ends of the steering piston. See if something is wrong there. Larry

Oliver S 55

IP: 67.213.233.31 Posted on July 8, 2008 at 10:14:44 PM by Dan Wheeler

I am looking to buy an Oliver S55 in fair condition. The numbers on it are: 12504-518 and ID#- 15-0005. Any help on the year it was made and a ball park going price? Also, it is needing some plugs, wires and other tune up parts. Are these hard to find?

Re(1): Oliver S 55

IP: 75.105.50.67 Posted on July 9, 2008 at 06:02:07 AM by Larry Harsin

The S55 was built in 1955. If it is complete and it is running, it is worth approx. $2000 - $3000. Depends partly, on shape of tires. They are a costly item. Parts are available. You can get plugs and wires and tune-up parts from NAPA. Korves Bros. Oliver has a lot of those tune-up type parts also. 618-939-6681. Website: www.korvesoliver.com Larry

1555 Distributor

IP: 207.230.144.203 Posted on July 8, 2008 at 08:31:23 AM by Ken

We have a 1973 gas 1555. It appears to have a holly distributor and it is getting near imposible to get distributor parts for it. Is it possible to replace the distributor with GM/Deloc or other Distributor? Or can someone recomend a good Holly distributor parts source? Thanks!

Re(1): 1555 Distributor

IP: 75.105.50.67 Posted on July 8, 2008 at 09:13:44 PM by Larry Harsin

The parts are no longer available for the Holley Distributor. AGCO has a Mallory distributor that fits that tractor. If you don't have an AGCO Dealer, call Tom at O'Brien Co, Impl. 800-320-6224. Larry

770 charging system

IP: 96.227.252.26 Posted on July 6, 2008 at 04:27:26 AM by Steve

The amp light on the 770 has started to glow very dim on the dash. The tractor still starts ok, battery seems to be up. What is this the symptom of ? Is it something we should address ? I cannot find any bad wiring. It has a 12volt altenator with an external Regulator.

Re(1): 770 charging system

IP: 75.105.52.252 Posted on July 6, 2008 at 07:21:32 PM by Larry Harsin

I would take the alternator off and have it checked. Larry

1850 clutch slip

IP: 96.227.252.26 Posted on July 5, 2008 at 07:38:20 AM by Steve

The men that drive the 1850 have informed me that there seems to be some slippage when going from direct to under when in gear. Checked the free play and adjustment on main clutch seems ok. Hydropower was rebuilt last fall and there have been no problems with it up till now. Any Ideas ?

Re(1): 1850 clutch slip

IP: 75.104.182.197 Posted on July 5, 2008 at 09:10:33 PM by Larry Harsin

When they go from direct to under, that would indicate the sprag clutch is not holding properly. If it gets much worse, you will have to tear it down and replace the sprag clutch. Larry

Re(2): 1850 clutch slip

IP: 4.249.102.85 Posted on July 6, 2008 at 11:29:22 AM by Larry from M d

The only other thing would be if someone put too heavy of oil in the hydro power. It happens and the sprag has a hard time holding.

77

IP: 96.227.252.26 Posted on July 5, 2008 at 07:35:42 AM by Steve

Have noticed our 77 goes from neutral 1 to neutral 2 easy, but if very hard to get back to neutral 1 - could it be the detents on the rails or some other problem ?

Re(1): 77

IP: 75.104.182.197 Posted on July 5, 2008 at 09:08:39 PM by Larry Harsin

Yes. It is the detents in the rails. The ball is wedging in the poppet block. There are 2 ways to fix it. One, get a new poppet block from your AGCO Dealer. The other way is to go in there and take the shift rail out. Then, take a side grinder and relieve the slope where the shift rail pushes the ball up into the poppet block. You don't have to take off very much. Larry

Identification Plate

IP: 64.12.116.77 Posted on July 4, 2008 at 07:09:57 PM by David

Can you tell me where to find the identification plate for an Oliver tractor ? I found one for the engine but NOT the tractor itself. Thanks for your help.

Re(1): Identification Plate

IP: 75.104.190.2 Posted on July 4, 2008 at 07:31:19 PM by Larry Harsin

Some of the I.D. plates are on the engines, like on the 60's, the 70's, the 80's, the 90's and the 99 4 cylinder. Most of the other RC and Ind. had the serial number on the dash below the steering wheel. The S55 and 550's had it on the clutch either by the brake pedal or the clutch pedal. You didn't say what Oliver you have. Larry

Super 77 RC Gas- Manifold Dowel Pin

IP: 69.208.5.220 Posted on July 2, 2008 at 07:56:08 PM by Terry Allen

Reference part book, page 3-18(fuel System-Manifold). Item #1 is identified as a Dowel Pin, Manifold to Cylinder Head, P# 1H-134, 2 items used. It apparently passes through a hole under the outer 2 legs of the intake manifold and attaches to the cylinder head. Have my unit apart and don't remember this item. Can you advise the description and purpose (allignment?)?

Re(1): Super 77 RC Gas- Manifold Dowel Pin

IP: 75.104.188.125 Posted on July 3, 2008 at 06:04:34 AM by Larry Harsin

It was for alignment. It is as you describe. You can fabricate dowel pins by cutting a bolt that size and driving it into the hole. Larry

Oliver 60 Row crop

IP: 67.140.29.200 Posted on July 2, 2008 at 07:31:38 PM by Bruce

I have an 1947 60 row crop I just got. Does anyone know, or know where I get info on the "original" paint scheme? It was "restored" a few years ago, but I want it back to factory specs. I have seen some "restored" 60's with the red from the nose and along the bottom of the frame under the side panels...I have seen others without it...anyone have any info on what's right???

Re(1): Oliver 60 Row crop

IP: 75.104.188.125 Posted on July 3, 2008 at 06:02:24 AM by Larry Harsin

All of the 60's did have that red stripe. The green paint is Martin Senour 99L-8748. The red is 99L-3752. The yellow on the grill is 99L 11611. I use New Holland yellow. Another place to check is: www.oliverinformation.com Larry
