    ATF in hydrapower is milky

    Several years ago I had a 1550 with a red tinge to the radiator ring below the cap. Upon further investigations I found that the 2-speed cooler had a crack in it. I drained the radiator, because the antifreeze was foaming too. I got down to the bottom of the radiator and drained about 3 quarts...

    770 WIDE FRONT What will it FIT ?????

    I saw that sale a couple of weeks ago. My chemo treatments keep me kind of down so the sale in Big Rapids was plenty far away for me on Saturday. I only looked at Scott's website once, but nothing jumped out at me, that screamed "Take me home", so we shall see if I can manage it. Like you said...

    770 WIDE FRONT What will it FIT ?????

    It seems that the cleaning lady has emptied my chair side wastebasket, but I will dip into my less than fantastic memory and see if I can pull out some of your request. First off, the Oliver parts that were advertised weren't anything special. Kind of like what you would find in the fence row...

    770 WIDE FRONT What will it FIT ?????

    Hi Len That manual steering widefront will fit the 77, Super 77, 770, 88, Super 88, and 880. It will only fit the manual steering models. The Gemmer P.S, and later all hydraulic power steering used a different axle carrier. If you have the manual steering widefront with the gearbox on it, then...

    740 Fords

    I'm an Oliver guy but I watch you Ford guys a little on this board. Lots of knowledge being handed out here! I was looking at a Repo site in Grand Rapids Michigan this morning. Usually what they have is whipped, but on 5/24 they will being auctioning off (3), count 'em, three 740 Fords in their...

    Met BIG MARV Today

    Len and Randy, thanks for the at-a-boy's! In this old world it is still easy to find nice guys, either as first time encounters, and as old friends and aquatintances. I seem to get to meet more of my share of the good ones in the Oliver business, and yesterday was no exception. I enjoyed our...

    770-880 WIDE FRONT TO NARROW FRONT

    I don't know if Randy has or knows of a NF for your tractor, but I have a couple of good ones here at home, in White Cloud. You can call any evening at 231-six-eight-9-ten-15. I could also send pictures if you need them. Thanks! Ron

    1850 oliver brake seal

    I've never been into an 1850 brake housing, so I can't give advice about R&R'ing the seal, but the guys responding to your question quote C/R in their answer. They are referring to a Chicago Rawhide brand of seal. The C/R number stamped into the outer seal band can cross over into several other...

    1650 gas

    Tractors that ran yesterday and not today always intrigue me. Seems like the smallest thing shoots them down. AFTER I finally find out what went wrong, I always feel foolish with myself, because afterwards it seems so obvious. That said, I feel for your thoughts about setting it on fire. I saw...

    1855 ring and pinion bad

    I saw last week that Brian Lagesse in Bloomer, Wisconsin was advertising that he had over 30 various Oliver rearends from tractors he has parted out this fall. I'm sure he would be able to help you out with gears or the whole rearend. I also know he can arrange shipping for you. Call him M-F...

    looking for a front 2" receiver solution for my 1954 NA

    I doubt that you will find any factory type of 2" receiver plow. Not much market for a plow to mount to the front of a 60+ year old tractor model. Also, remember the Farmall one-point hitch tools weren't so rigid. Maybe a hydraulic diverter valve and an OEM Ford hydraulic lift snow plow would...

    1550 high speed

    I bought a 770 with that kind of "Upside Down" shift pattern a few years back. It had been used as a spryer tractor on a vegetable farm here in Michigan. The first time I drove it around in road gear it scared me, but I bought it for the sprayer attachments, so after I removed them I sold it to...

    49 Oliver 88

    I believe you can get those old style tie rod pieces and parts from Korves. They list them on their website. If this is a show piece tractor I would go that route. If it is just your everyday user tractor I substitute the larger and beefier tie rods for the 1600--1655 style. They will fit up and...

    Where's my sign...

    Don't feel so bad... My Oliver won't run very far on it's reputation alone either. We've all done stuff like that. Most of us are just too proud to admit it. If I told you about all of the tractor boners I've made in my lifetime you would expect me to be in a rubber room. Smile, shake your...

    Hudsonville AC Sale

    I was unable to get away for the muck farm sale Saturday. Did anyone get any prices on the AC tractors and crawlers?
