    oliver 550

    Chuck, don't sweat the mechanical stuff, your tractor looks really straight. The typical wear points on the frame, steering, draw bar, lift hitch and floor boards tell me that the 3600 hours on the tac is pretty accurate. If I would critique the tractor, I would upgrade the exhaust to spec...

    Mint green

    Marty, Couple of questions: First, what year is your 770? It matters simply because if you are pre-honeycomb grille/hood decal panels on 1962 and later, the mist green will be chomatic conflict on the clover white panels. Second, is your 770 wfe or narrow? This matters on the color keyed...

    super88 governor exploded

    Kevin, I recently restored an 880 with a gas engine. After all the work was done and we put the parts back together, the engine would not run without hesitation and sputters between 1500 and 1800 rpm. We had just rebuilt the carb and looked at the gov. for clues. Sure enough, the weights were...

    super 88 value in todays market

    Super 88 Olivers are hard to come by let alone finding a diesel in any condition. I gave up and purchased a 880 from Eaton MN last August. I (happily) paid $2,300.00 and replaced the hyd. pump, rebuilt the Zeineth carb, replaced all fluids, rebuilt PTO, replaced all gaskets and front wheel...

    The black starter on my 880

    The black starter on my 880

    I am restroing my 1960 Oliver 880. It was original paint w/3800 hrs and the thing I noticed was it had a black starter. After some investigation, I learned from an old dealer that before White Corp. bought Oliver in 1960, there was an incentive program to get more of the 3-series tractors in...

    Best way to clean up tractors for painting

    I have never done this tactic but I have heard JD restoration folks tell me that the oven cleaner method posted in another reply works very well. The thing is that you will need plenty of it. I have experience with media blasting and would not use any media on fender, hood or panel areas...

    880 Oliver Oil Leaks

    Chuck, My plan is to remomve the wet ones and placed them in the dry spots, and visa-versa. I will try to find required torqe specs for spark plugs (I am guessing 50 to 65 lbs) then operate the tractor like I typically would. The results will tell me plenty. I replaced a 5.0 V-8 Chevy motor...
