Oliver 880 power booster

[JBR]

Hello
I have an 880 gas with power booster and was wondering what parts are needed to delete it, and if so who would have them. It seems to work ok now but the low range gear is loose on the input shaft and to repair that I have to take that all off and I don’t have the alignment tool to reassemble it. I have talked to a couple people about what’s available for the input shaft gear and sounds like best thing to do is have a bushing made for it.
Thanks for any info.

About 35 years ago I deleted the power booster on my 770 by simply welding two booster clutch plate hubs togrther.

I believe you would need the correct clutch shaft and input shaft. I have read some people have just fabricated a coupler and used existing shafts.

Thank you

That’s not a bad idea

Just my opinion, but I would at least try to fix it. I rebuilt one 25 or more years ago and as far as I can remember the special alignment tool can be easily made up on a lathe , but I cant recall even using one? When working right the power booster sure is nice to have. I would think adds some value to tractor. If you are pulling it can sometimes get you a few more feet. Reminds me however of the time we where at a vintage tractor pull at Lang Pioneer village. The power booster probably got me an extra 50 feet. Thinking I had won the pull, but was disqualified due to a rule I was not aware of. No 2 speed shifts. The old fella running the pull called me names that would make Gene Tracy blush!

I actually got ahold of someone on here that had the alignment tools made and another company that’s going to try and repair the low range gear I agree on fixing it as it was a one owner tractor.
Thanks for the help.
