    OC-3 Hercules IXB-3 Engine

    Not sure what is referred to as the PRV. Is that the ball and spring assembly in the oil filter base? I put a thinner oil in the engine because of the in-frame overhaul. Soon I will change oil and replenish with straight 30 weight. I am not a professional mechanic and should have sought...

    Just wondering if any one has adjusted the oil pressure. Installed new rings and pistons along with new bearings. Engine runs fine and quiet but has low oil pressure when at operating temperature. I should have checked the bearing to crankshaft clearance more closely. Engine still has a...

    Oliver super 55 and 550

    How many different types of rear wheel weights were available for this tractor? I am thinking factory additional equipment. Are the wheel weights from a Farmall A or VAC Case close to the same?

    Ford 8N electrical issues after attempted jump start 6v-12v

    I'm helping a friend diagnose and repair a problem with his 1943 8N Ford tractor. I had it running great last season, but unfortunately he used his tractor to attempt a jump start with his SUV. He connected the SUV 12V system to the tractor's 6V system. The tractor was running, but when the...

    Oliver 525 Combine

    I need to change the belt on the variable speed drive. This is going to be a new experience for me. The operator's manual will help; any other suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Hercules and White Engines

    Why were not more Hercules engines used in Oliver, MM and White equipment? White owned this engine company for a duration of time. What is considered low hours for a red stripe 2-135? What are problems with this model and how do the engines hold up with regular maintenance?

    1800 A carburator settings

    I believe this is the original, cast iron carburetor. I am trying to use my operator's manual to get the settings correct and go from there. This tractor has very low hours for it's age, about 3200. What is the float height supposed to be?
