Can you email a picture and the serial number to us? Our email address is at the top of this page. A picture would help us tell what model you have and the serial number will tell us what year it was built. Sandra Harsin

Your tractor is an Oliver 600 built in England by David Brown. After you dig it out of the vines and you know what you will need, you will probably have to find someone who has David Brown parts. Check with Elmer Landman in Canada 519-363-2663. He may have advice on looking for parts. Another place to check for parts might be Carmichael Tractors in TN. Ask for Buck. 865-674-2229. Larry

Super 55 oils question

IP: 75.154.246.138 Posted on July 31, 2016 at 04:09:05 PM by Stu

Hi Larry, one more Super 55 gas question. In my gas engine, is it safe to use 15-40 rotella diesel engine oil. I'm trying to reduce oils on the shelf. How about 15-40 oil in the hydraulics as well. Can I substitute 10-30 to 15-40.

Re(1): Super 55 oils question

IP: 184.21.143.147 Posted on August 2, 2016 at 07:01:38 AM by Larry Harsin

Yes. The 1540 should work fine in the engine. I would use a medium non-foaming hydraulic oil in the hydraulic, such as a 20 weight. Larry

Hi Larry, great site. I have a Super 55 gas, and I want to get a rotary rake for haying, it's suited for 25 hp. It's just under 600 pounds. What would be the lifting capacity of the S55 3 point hitch assuming the mechanical aspects are in good shape.

I have been slowly loosing steering while driving wheel is steady needed to be turned to keep tractor straight where would be the best place to start to get it tighten back up On a trip to a field wheel made it around 5 times in a 10 mile trip

Re(1): 1650 steering

IP: 184.21.143.147 Posted on August 2, 2016 at 06:56:14 AM by Larry Harsin

You have to determine if the problem is with the unit of the steering wheel or if it is down in the unit under the radiator. Read in your Operator's Manual about the Blocking Valve. If the Blocking Valve is in the up position and you can move your wheels left or right, there could be a problem in the steering cylinder. Otherwise the problem could be in the steering hydra-motor.

You have a dirty on the inside, fuel tank. Remove the fuel strainer from the tank and power wash the inside of the gas tank. Dry it out good and clean the filter. You can do this without removing the tank from the tractor. But it is o.k. to remove it also. Whatever works. Larry

PTO clutch parts - 550

IP: 68.207.179.150 Posted on July 25, 2016 at 12:32:18 PM by Mark Osgood

I have an Oliver 550 with a 588 loader. The tractor is one of the models with 6 fiber discs in the PTO clutch. Upon disengaging the clutch while bush-hogging, I felt a small amount of grinding. After that, the PTO would not engage. I did not split the tractor, but followed the suggestion of a guy who calls himself the Canadian Redneck. I took off the steering box, etc. and opened the tractor from the top. The pressure plate and the sleeve were broken into several pieces. The clutch actuating fork was worn in the top middle as if it had been rubbing against the spinning shaft located above it. I had pushed the PTO engaging lever far forward and tied it forward since the locking mechanism on the lever did not work. Could this wear on the fork be caused from tying the lever too far forward? Could this cause too much stress on the linkage between the pressure plate and the sliding sleeve causing it to fail? If the fork was being rubbed by the spinning shaft above it, could the heat have caused a parts failure? I saw the pressure plate for $250. I would like to find a lower price. Do you have any more suggestions of places for parts? Can you help me find the sliding sleeve? Thanks

I'm not sure that I can analyze your problem, but you will have to split the tractor in order to repair it. I think after you get it apart, you will be able to determine what caused the problem. I recommend getting a Shop Manual from the Museum in Charles City, IA 641-228-1099. You will want to do a Z split. You can get parts from Kent Gordon in Palestine TX, 903-729-8349. Larry

1855 Gas Governor Issues

Have a 1855 gas tractor, bought with a broken governor, weights were sheared off from the shaft. I bought a used governor, installed it, but haven't been able to get it operating. I set the linkage up according to the service manual, but the engine rpms take off well over the max just by moving the throttle lever a little past idle. Any ideas would sure be appreciated. Thank you.

A long time ago I had a similar problem. Someone had installed an inline filter and used rubber fuel line to make the connections. When they pushed the rubber line onto the steel line they had cut to make room for the filter, the sharp edge partially cut the inside of the line in such a way that allowed fuel to freely flow thru it when disconnected but would block fuel flow when reinstalled. Worth a look. Arnie

Hi Larry I have a 66 diesel that is getting fuel in the oil. I drove it in the forth of July parade and by the time I got done fuel was boiling out of the dipstick and running out of the valve cover.

Hello Larry, I am at war with this. It has been the rounds and now i get a shot at it. It runs rich at all rpm,s.Here is some of what i have done. Checked the jets for their proper location,set the float per oliver shop manual, the person before me had installed new kit including needle and seat as well as diaphrame. I did the vaccume test on the accel. check valve but my 78 yr. old ears did not allow a good result. The engine will maintain full rpm with the load needle bottomed out, ditto on idle with adj screw bottomed.Thanks in advance for council.

Oliver 550 countershaft

IP: 107.77.169.10 Posted on July 11, 2016 at 11:06:19 PM by Billy A.

Pulled the PTO shaft on my '63 550 while replacing the PTO clutch discs, so I could replace the rear PTO seal, oring, and bearing while I was in there. I noticed that some of the needles fell out of the 4 bearings that go around the PTO shaft. The 2 in the front gear and the front one in the countershaft shouldn't be a problem to replace, the rear one in the shaft is a different story. Any tips on replacing that bearing without disassembling the transmission? Will the countershaft come out without taking off the top? I've taken off the middle lower frame section to get to the front of the countershaft, but can't tell if any further disassembly would be in vain from that end. Thank you in advance. Billy

Oliver 1650 Hydrapower

IP: 69.24.118.244 Posted on July 6, 2016 at 11:23:13 AM by Jon

Larry, I purchased an Oliver 1650 that someone had removed the hydrapower unit and installed a delete kit. I was able to find a hydra-power unit and got the different coupler chain and sprockets and I believe everything I need to install it. I was wondering how to make sure that the unit is good out of the tractor so I don't waste time removing the engine twice if the unit is bad. I made a socket out of a used clutch disc to be able to turn the input shaft, but I didn't notice a speed change as I shifted. Is that bad, or am I doing something wrong?
