I wouldn’t consider a low hour engine that has spent its life indoors scrap under any circumstances.

How do I determine if any of the parts are interchangeable with Oliver stuff?

Oliver only used one true Waukesha. The rest were Oliver designed and cast, then finished by Waukesha. In fact, at one time, Oliver owned a percentage of Waukesha. Last I knew, Waukesha was still in business building engines for stand by generators. That's most likely what you have.

We have two 1755 and two 1855 and about 15 more Whites We are trying to do a 5.9 conversion on all of them So these older gas oliver I have no experience with

So basically completely wrong for an Oliver

Unless it's a 302. They were used in the late 99 and Super 99. I don't want to say for certain, but I'd be surprised if it was the same as any Oliver. Get a second opinion to be sure. Is it stamped 195-DLC anywhere?

I have an Oliver 1800A that has a replacement engine from Waukesha. The Model is VRD310 Diesel. The VRG310 was the gas version. The engine tag has Waukesha and Dresser on it but not Oliver. Steve.

 

[TractorDan33]

Where am I looking for the engine tag or is there just the casting number on the block ? THANKS Dan

 

[TractorDan33]

My brother in law said it's a VRG 330 I assume from what everybody told me it's should be scrap then Thanks for the advice Dan

Don't say scrap, it could be used somewhere. GG Wes

What kind of person calls a good usable running engine scrap? That’s about the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard.

Just because it’s not an engine model Oliver used doesn’t make it scrap. The mounting pads on the block are still in the correct location. 2 minutes with a measuring tape would tell you but it should still bolt right in to an Oliver frame tub if you had the backing plate and bell housing from the original engine. Being set up to run LP means it should have a high compression. Put a gas manifold and carb on it with a variable speed governor and it would make one heck of a good engine for a pulling tractor. A little bit of imagination goes a long way.

Ya, you'd just have to modify that oil filter base and whatever feeds it inside of the pan.
