    Oliver 1955 smoke/sharp exhaust

    Howdy! I'm not an expert by any means, but first thing I would check would be the supply pump. I had a situation where my '88 diesel was extremely hard to start when warm. After several weeks of learning about and adjusting the injector pump, I was convinced the inj pump needed to be...

    Oliver 88 Step

    Looking for a rear left side platform step for my "88. Does anyone have a step on one of your old parts tractors? Any condition will work.

    NOT repainting, but saving faded paint

    Two parts boiled linseed oil and three parts mineral spirits with a soft rag does a great job to brighten up old paint. Even rust looks better. Cost is less than $20. No prep except washing off the mud or dust and caked oil/grease. I did my Oliver 88 rowcrop about six months ago. Only took...

    Row crop 60 questions

    WellWorn, my 1954 "88 RowCrop has the "double H" shifting pattern much like the picture posted by Wondergem. When I am in the "upper H" it is sometimes very difficult to find that second neutral. I just push in the clutch, and gently push the shift knob with the palm, towards neutral...

    TRACTOR ECONOMICS 101

    Thanks to everyone who viewed and commented on my original post. We all saw some great pictures, great tractors, and read a lot of wise words in the stories. I learned some things and saw that many of you value, as I do, taking care of the old iron without much concern for final value of the...

    TRACTOR ECONOMICS 101

    I would like to hear from some of you how much you spend on your old collector tractors. I got my Oliver 88 diesel earlier this year and am finding out I have quite a list of things I'd like to do to it, but am limited on funds to do them. I'm not doing a total restoration, but just cleaning...

    Quote I Like Alot!

    I ran across this quote in another forum. It has probably been posted here before, but maybe some haven't seen it. "Farming looks mighty easy when your plow is a pencil and you're a thousand miles from a cornfield." ~ Dwight D. Eisenhower

    Good tips OJ! Very needed and appreciated by those of us who haven't been around tractors all our lives. Or if we have been, maybe we forgot some of the little tricks. Ed :lol:

    Oliver 88 Diesel Fuel Issue - Simple Final Solution?

    So, I started in June to find out why my newly acquired '88 would start when cold/cool but not when hot. I studied everything I could find in this forum and others, learned it was likely the injection pump hydraulic head or possibly the fuel delivery adjust nut in the governor. I continued to...

    Pics Of 830

    I'd say heck of a bargain. If it's still running and has some life to it, I think it was worth it. Not to mention all the fun you will derive fixing, cleaning, and spiffing it up. I'll never forget about 10 years ago, I was new to tractors, and looking at a restored Oliver 77 and I asked...

    Shop manuals for 1550

    Al, I've been going through the process of learning about and fixing my '88 diesel rowcrop. I got the IT and the Jensales manuals. The IT manual in my opinion is for someone already pretty knowledgeable about the tractor or at least other similar tractors and will pull out most of the more...

    Electric Fuel Pump on an Oliver 88 Diesel

    My 1954 '88 diesel has a universal electric fuel pump in place of the origiinal mechanical lift pump. I have several questions regarding the pump that I thought some of you might be able to answer. 1. Some posters have said their electric pump only pumps when the starter is depressed and...
