    880 serial numbers

    Amos Angus, the numbers behind the starter explanation. first line 1KA-100-E - Oliver part number. second line 190320-K - Waukesha part number. third line 1278 - engine block casting date, 1/27/1958, if I am reading that correctly. Two months seems to be a sort curing time for the block.

    Something a little different for me.

    Wes, thanks for the suggestion. I did a 66 over the winter and it turned out pretty good.

    Something a little different for me.

    There were 360 some Cockshutt 1550’s and 14 with this spec number. The difference between Wheatland and Standard is a change in terminology. The corporate sales force had to do something for their pay.

    Something a little different for me.

    The plan is to clean the existing paint and see what I think.

    Oliver 88 gauges

    blkeele, the best gauges would be from Evergreen Restorations. The top level Korves sells are equal to the Evergreen gauges. If you are not working your tractor in the field everyday the import gauges will be good, the face color is closer to Oliver yellow.

    Hart Parr Oliver Oc 4 magazine

    rrlund, the museum handles all of the back issue sales for HPOCA. When it is available it will ship from there. I think after the original mailing is finished the rest of the run gets shipped to the museum. Greg and Lisa will do what they can to help him.

    Oliver 88 Row Crop won't go into either reverse

    J.Nyberg congratulations on purchasing an Oliver. Most of us on here think there the best tractor made. The first thing I do when I purchase a new tractor is to purchase an operators manual and in you case I would suggest purchasing the service and parts manuals. I buy my manuals from the Floyd...

    OLIVER 550 DIESEL TRACTOR GENERAL QUESTIONS

    Something I found interesting on the Diesel vs gas engines on Oliver tractors. The difference between gas and diesel is the head, governor, and carb or diesel pump. The air cleaner mount is different on my 550 gas that left the factory as diesel. I have read that in 1944 or 1945 they designed...

    RC 88 With Wheatland Shields

    Those dust shields probably came out with the Row Crop Standard Super tractors. I think Oliver cut back on making the Standard or Wheatland tractors. I have seen them on Cockshutt 770 Row Crop Standard tractors also. I don not know if they were a factory (must have been factory on the Cockshutt)...
