    Help with an Oliver

    I don't know, but I don't think the diesel version had a frame, so I have to wonder what all else is different.

    Help with an Oliver

    Sometimes, but man, it's hard to justify spending hours searching for rinkydink parts for somebody when you could be spending that time making thousands doing a job.

    Were you there?

    My first wife went. She was fun for a couple of years.

    Shuttle Shift Tractors ????

    A couple of hundred thousand for a big square baler and a wrapper and you'll be right in business.

    Help with an Oliver

    You took the words right out of my mouth. It says right on Import Tractor's site, no parts for 1250 gas. Unlike most things built for military use where they were built to high standards, those Italian miliary surplus engines were junk. Somebody had posted on the Oliver forum not long ago that...

    Now would be a good time for me to quit.

    Not saying this is always the case because I know it's not, but do you think some of those nice cars might belong to other folks taking the recipients there to help them out? I had a friend who's passed away now, but he was a barber and was on the county welfare board when there was such a...

    Antique Tractor Drive

    Somebody else asked not long ago. Maybe you can find that post instead of rehashing it again.

    Super 55 seat rebuild.

    It's been a day or two since I rebuilt one, but no, no springs. The rubber is just attached to the steel discs on each side. It's supposed to be one solid unit. The new one will be. Unscrew that T handled bolt out of there and then from what I remember, it involved a lot of heat and a lot of...

    1550 Hydraulic Pump

    The loader specials were 1555s though, unless he made a typo. Weren't there some depth stop systems that didn't have a rock shaft?

    How to secure empty hitch?

    Olivers and Whites have a tab welded on each arm, then there's a real stout spring that holds them together. I used a 3pt drawbar to hold them together on my 4040 Deere. A rubber strap isn't stout enough for heavy arms. My biggest White doesn't have the tabs, so when the quick hitch isn't on it...

    Now would be a good time for me to quit.

    I had a friend in the dairy business who had a pretty sizble operation, worked with MSU in some experimental testing and what not. He'd had a deal with his wife that they'd sell out when they reached a certain age and they did. The wife and I were out for supper one night after they sold out and...

    Now would be a good time for me to quit.

    That's how it was with my cousin. He had already rented out some of his ground, but was farming enough to finish out some steers. I was supposed to haul a load to the stock yard for him on a Monday morning. He stopped over Sunday night and said he couldn't get the gate shut behind them, so...

    Now would be a good time for me to quit.

    I keep saying, if I ever find something I'd rather do, I'd retire and do it, but I haven't found anything yet. A friend said "Work on tractors". I do work on tractors, daily users and show tractors. I need variety and have to get out of there and do something else. That's how it is with...

    Now would be a good time for me to quit.

    Same here. My wife is seven years younger too. Dad said he was going to quit milking cows when he hit 75. He fell and banged up a shoulder then broke his hip at around 74, so he had to quit. A few years later, I mentioned selling the dairy cattle myself and his voice cracked, he practically...

    Now would be a good time for me to quit.

    I hear you. Darndest things is, even though I think about quitting every now and then, I actually thought more about it when I was younger. Now that I could do it, the appeal isn't as strong. Today is one of those days I could walk away with no regrets. Thing is, the wife's greenhouse and seed...

    New Idea 4308 Wheel V Rake

    Ya, it doesn't make sense to me. It was made the way it is and somebody has been using it that way. I'm confused by what the book says too.

    New Idea 4308 Wheel V Rake

    Just another thought, you bought the one in the first picture right? WIth only one hose, there shouldn't be any down pressure, so it should float as is shouldn't it?
