    88 Diesel Cooling System

    Thanks for the response @scootergmc. Picked up some plugs from the hardware store, flushed and refilled. Other than the tar in the elbow the coolant was mostly clean and green. I think that the tar was from the low quality hose that was installed in between the coolant heater and elbow...

    88 Diesel Cooling System

    I have a question about the cooling system on my Oliver 88 diesel. There is a port on the rear side of the engine block and a port coming out of the lower cast radiator elbow (SEE ATTACHED IMAGES). The previous owner was running a hose with an aftermarket coolant heater between them. The lower...

    Oliver 88 Injection Pump

    I recently purchased my first tractor, which is an Oliver 88 Diesel. It does not run, and I think that it has issues with the injection pump because no fuel comes out after the pump. One thing that I noticed that is odd on the pump is a bolt loaded with a bunch of nuts (SEE IMAGE). Any ideas why...
