Power Steering Leak

IP: 173.88.2.254 Posted on June 28, 2012 at 02:16:59 PM by Larry

I have a 1950t,there is oil pumping up and leaking from the outer shaft under the steering wheel.Hdr. oil is running down outer shaft onto the platform. My power steering does not have the big aluminum knob on ster. wheel.The shop manual says there are 2 seals on top of hdromotor, could either of these be my problem,there is no other steering difficulties.Can this be fixed without removing hdromotor.

No the real problem is inside.If you still have the old style system its much better to replace the whole thin with a char-lin unit.Buy a kit or make it fit your self.If allready converted to the new style replace the quad seal on the shaft.

I think it can be done without removing from the tractor. Check with Tom at O'Brien Co. Impl. 800-320-6224. Tom will have the seal. Larry

The engine will bolt in, but you will have to use an 88 flywheel and bell housing. Larry

for someone, like me, who has no natural gas connections to the house, no lp gas close to the address, what are the requirements to fill up a lp tractor like on your for sale site??? i know nothing about this stuff....do i need a tank and truck delivery like for propane?? is it the same stuff??? would i need to get a pump etc to transfer to tractor?? would there be a cost savings compared to gas or diesel???? thanks, ernie

Re(1): Lp gas

IP: 75.104.160.54 Posted on June 30, 2012 at 06:54:09 AM by Larry Harsin

You can fill it out of a "nurse tank", but it takes awhile, like overnight, unless you have a transfer pump. Yes. You will need a tank and truck for delivery. Propane and lp are the same. Yes. You would need a pump to put it in the tractor. If you aren't set up for it, I wouldn't bother with an lp tractor. There would be very little cost savings, if any. Larry

Lower link help

IP: 140.180.34.177 Posted on June 26, 2012 at 01:49:58 PM by Aric

I have a super 55 with a loader which I love, of course it has some leakes which I will split and rebuild the pto and seals and I guess I should do a drive clutch and seals as well since I am in there thou it works fine? My main concerns that when I have something with some weight attached to the lower link such as a trailer ball the link seaks up and down an inch or two, I would like to know what I might need to do while I have this all apart. I hate to waste time and money if I do not have to. Thank you for any help or advise

Re(1): Lower link help

IP: 75.104.160.36 Posted on June 27, 2012 at 06:50:25 AM by Larry Harsin

I think that is just wear on the top linkage. You can block that out by eliminating the worn parts. Larry

Oliver 1850 shifting problem.

IP: 71.175.72.249 Posted on June 25, 2012 at 09:56:41 PM by Ed Bachman

Hi I have an Oliver 1850 where the upper set of gears shift fine. When you move the gear shifter into the vertical neutral position with thenfootnoff the clutch it bounces and you can hear clashing. If I proceed to shift it into the lower four gears it feels like it goes into position but when you take your foot off the clutch the tractor barely moves and you get a lot of clashing. I've tried to hold it in gear to see if it will move but it pushes out of gear. After experiencing this situation I removed the gear shift and the knob on the bottom of the stick looks fine and as far as I can tell all the slots were lined up to receive the stick. After reinstalling, the same problem persists. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Remove the valve cover. Turning the engine, watch the #6 cylinder. When the exhaust closes and the intake just begins to open, you are at Top Dead Center #1. Then, install the pump and line up the marks in the timing window. You should be ready to go. Larry

1855 hydro leak

IP: 166.137.88.43 Posted on June 25, 2012 at 06:05:33 AM by Colten lambert

Hello sir I have an 1855 diesel that I just purchased 3 weeks ago. Its a great running tractor but has a few hydraulic leaks that need fixed. One of the worst coming from what I believe is called a restrictor valve? Not totally sure. There are two of these side by side just above and to the right of the top link holes. One of them is leaking. I'm assuming that if I remove the dust cap and then the snap ring inside that I will be able to access the inside and change an o ring. Or is there another way that they have to be disassembled? I've owned olivers for a couple of years but am new to workin on hydraulics.

I'm not sure exactly what you are talking about, but it should be straight forward as to how to fix it. It probably does need a new O ring. Larry

Re(2): 1855 hydro leak

IP: 166.137.88.16 Posted on June 25, 2012 at 01:53:54 PM by Colten lambert

Ok thanks. I should be able to figure it out. Another question, I also have a 1550 gas tractor. I use it on a daily basis and everything works as it should except the hydraulic remotes. They always worked before. But I went for about 5 weeks without using the tractor one winter and when I tried to use the remotes after that they wouldn't work. Everything else works. The three point arms and power steering work fine. I changed the fluid and filter and it still won't do anything. The hoses will kinda jump when you hit the lever but that's about it. They won't operate any cylinders at all. Would you have any idea what may have happened to it?

I replaced one line and coupler. I'll replace the other as well and see if that makes a difference. If the problem continues after that I'm assuming it's an internal problem. Thanks for the info. Also there's a few parts I need for the 1855. Speedometer cable. And tach cable also. Do you know of a place to get parts? Sorry for all the questions but I live in southern Ohio an no one around me knows anything about olivers

1555

IP: 70.169.108.57 Posted on June 19, 2012 at 07:57:24 AM by Robert

I have a 1555 that has been overhauled. The oil pressure is 30 psi when you start it but when the tractor is warmed up the oil pressure gauge flutters between 5 and 20 real fast at an idle. Is this normal?

Re(1): 1555

IP: 97.73.64.144 Posted on June 19, 2012 at 11:20:04 AM by larry from md.

Did someone replace the oil line to the gauge? If a larger line is installed the gauge will flutter.Make sure the filter has a very small restrictor hole in the bottem. Lots of filters will screw on, but it needs the little hole.

Re(2): 1555

IP: 99.196.64.57 Posted on June 19, 2012 at 08:54:13 PM by Larry Harsin

This is pretty much the nature of the beast. You could try a different gauge, but it might do that too. Larry

Re(3): 1555

IP: 70.169.108.57 Posted on June 20, 2012 at 02:57:14 PM by Robert

I am not so much worried about the flutter as long as the pressure is enough to keep from damaging the motor.

Re(4): 1555

IP: 97.73.64.153 Posted on June 21, 2012 at 05:06:14 PM by larry from md.

That filter should be right. There is a small hole in the center(inside the threads)where the oil goes in. That engine is the older style that runs a lower oil preasure than other ones,it will be fine with 10 psi. A good tight engine should stay 15 to 20 and not jump around.The small pipe to the guage is supposed to evan out the pulses from the oil pump,that has only 2 vanes in it. A guage screwed into the oil gallery will flutter widely. If the small pipe to the gauge was broken guys replace it with a larger size because they can't find the small stuff. This will cause what you describe.

Another common thing is for new valve stems and valves to stick or not work fast,that will cause lots of smoke as the diesel is not burning clean.

My 1265 engages the clutch really hard and the pedal travels way to far to disengage the clutch. Clutch and pto engages at proper pedal position so the pedal is properly adjusted. I think the set screw are also properly adjusted to .60 but may be minutely off. Could that be the problem.

The check point is behind the right rear axle on the main frame. It is a 3/8" pipe plug. You can add the oil on the top of the PTO housing. Use 80-90 transmission oil.
