You are right about the pto lever should be down when not using pto and shift center trans lever to neutral never had an issue with thrust washers in engine The auxiliary pump for loader you need pto on to run the auxiliary pump not a big deal
Hey Ross, I like your content a😊nd follow all your videos. I'm planning to restore a white field boss 2-60 4x4 1980 and it has been stored in a garage for 25~ years. Can you give me any tips? Thanks 😊
Amazing how much rust can form inside an engine that is somewhat sealed against the elements, and coated with oil. I better go start some more tractors
My neighbor had 3 tractors in his collection stick sitting inside his tractor building. I think he said it was only like 3 months at the most they sat without running. Doesn’t take long I suppose.
@@ThatOliverGuyChris all three that stuck were unrestored. One was an 18-27, another a very nice original Super 88 and the 3rd one was a 4 digit I believe.
Looks good. There were/are a fair amount of those Fiat utilities (Long tractors too) around here, most of which are A/C colors with a few Oliver’s between. I never thought they we all that bad of a tractor. Watched every minute...👍
With copper washers and other type all copper seals if they are in decent shape I just run a propane torch over them and get them hot. When they cool they are soft. Copper work hardens so by softening them the work again as seal.
Happy New Year Ross...thanks for the videos. I went and had a look at a 1365 today. It makes a bit of a grinding noise when the pto is engaged. I'm wondering if that could be just the clutch lever needing adjustment.
Thanks David! You might want to pull that inspection cover off the side and see if you can see anything going on in there. If it’s making a grinding noise maybe the throwout bearing has gone bad or some thing else inside. It would be worth checking out.
What is the name of the music that is playing at the end of your video? I was in a peddler’s mall in Murray, Kentucky 2 booths had Oliver plow wrenches for sale and if you’re ever in Murray Kentucky, you might want to check the peddlers mall out to see if the wrenches are still there if you’re collecting them! I enjoy your videos!😊
I’m curious of the diameter of them injectors. I got a duramax injector tool if they would be the same same diameter I’d send you the tool to pull them injectors if you wanted them out
That small reservoir in the fuel return side is designed to supply fuel to the thermostart. The thermostart is a great cold start aid. When the fuel system is primed fuel is supplied to the thermostart from the bottom of the reservoir. When system voltage is supplied to the thermostart it heats up and opens a valve to allow fuel to flow from the reservoir and it actually builds a fire in the intake manifold to heat the incoming air. If the thermostart valve is stuck or leaking it can cause excessive smoke when running, or it can hydraulic lock the engine if it leaks when the engine is shut down. So check it for leaking prior to installing the rubber hose on the intake.
The preheat is like a Massy Ferguson CAV system. Injector Return diesel fills the little tank, inlets and outlets are at different levels line from bottom of tank goes to preheater. There is a little bi metallic spring valve when heated by coil opens and dumps fuel on hot coil creating hot diesel vapor to ease starting. They work good takes a good 20-30 seconds. Usally you can hear a slight pop or fizzle when fuel hits the hot coil.
I figured I’d leave the hose off the intake and try it and see what exactly would happen. I did see that they sell them new so if this one doesn’t work I may get a different one.
I had a 550 Oliver last of American ones . 4cyl diesel could not find American Bosch injection pump . I finally do found one had it rebuilt $2k . Loved that little tractor.
Fords used that type of heater too. Never liked that type of setup for the PTO on the JD next generation up through 55 series. They put pressure on the thrust bearings whenever PTO is engaged. That little guy is about to be back in service. Good job.
Great video, can’t wait for part 3. My 1365 had caught fire so I did away with all the heater parts. Works fine without. If you know someone to overhaul the power steering cylinder let me know! 😁 Keep up the good work!
Thanks John! They sell it at Harbor freight and I got some today at O’Reilly‘s. It’s supposed to be an environmentally safe rust remover. It actually does work I’ve used it before. It does leave a film behind though so you have to wash it right away with something else.
Sure need those heaters on diesels in the cold! I was watching “Captain Kleeman” use a heat gun or it may have been his wife’s blow dryer can’t remember on the air intake of an old JD 555 backhoe he’s working on; Seemed to work pretty good. way that heater canister ( or what ever it is) looked I don’t know that I wouldn’t go through the fuel system from start to finish….. but as always I know you’ll give it the attention it deserves. Enjoying the build/ rebuild/ throwing old stuff together.
On the fuel tank, throw a handful of nuts of all different sizes, in the fill opening and strap it to one of your chore tractor rear wheels. Put some fuel in if you can close it up, and drive it around for a while. It will act like a tumbler and clean the tank. Looking forward to next episode 👍🇺🇲
Wow that sure ate up into that aluminum quite a bit!. I would think that should made a heck of a lot of noise I would think 🤔 Getting a little closer to getting the Oliver tractor running again nice that you had two motors to take some parts off of one to get it to work. Thanks Michael ☺️
OK.. CAUTION ! Never trust HEARSAY about a motor or any used item. IF were doing this I would take the engine apart for a through inspection for proper factory specks .. CRANK ,CAM, BEARINGS , GEARS ,VALVE TRAIN PISTONS. IF EVERY THING CHECKS ALL YOU NEED IS GASKETS. AN ounce of prevention is worth more than ten pounds of cure. great videos. thanks.
You got a lot of work ahead of you that's for sure . My brother owns an automotive shop and can work on anything i'm doing good to change my oil lol . I saw a Oliver hay baler for $ 900 is that a good deal ? Thanks for sharing and have a great evening !

I was wondering about that pump. Since I don’t have an external valve I’ll just go ahead and put the block off plate on and delete it for now.
another great video thanks forsharing

A fresh engine will seize up faster than an old one that is all sludgey inside.

Thanks! I think they were pretty good little tractors but they got a bad rap because of the first two fiats that came before them.
With copper washers and other type all copper seals if they are in decent shape I just run a propane torch over them and get them hot. When they cool they are soft. Copper work hardens so by softening them the work again as seal.
That’s a great idea! I never thought of heating them first. I’ll have to try that sometime.
Happy New Year, Ross.
Thanks! Happy New year to you as well Gil!

I’ll have to check up on what size they are. Hopefully I don’t need to swap them right now so I’ll probably just leave them in the old head.

That’s good to know. I might just buy a new heater instead of risking that.
That may be a good idea. I have seen Ford tractor engines that had a leaking thermostart cause a connecting rod to bend on startup.
Got the 1955 fired up and moving on Monday.
Cool!
Enjoy your videos. Keep them coming..
Thanks Chad!!

They’re pretty sweet running tractors!

Thanks Dale! I’m sure we’ll get into rebuilding the power steering cylinder at some point so stay tuned!
@@rosstheoliverman That will be great. My steering cylinder needs rebuilt in the worst way!
Good progress! I had a heck of a time cleaning my tank on my Farmall super c. I ended up putting red kote tank liner in it.
I’ve done that too but I always heard you shouldn’t use it with diesel
Great video! Very interesting. I’ve never heard of Evaporust.

Sorry chief, it's a Ford 555.
I could probably get by here without a heater, but I’d like to have everything working correctly if possible.
@@jackbraithwaite8345 LoL, shows what I know now doesn’t it!…
@@jackbraithwaite8345 LoL, shows what I know now doesn’t it
Progress.
As long as it’s going forward not backward I’m good 🤣
We’re getting closer lol! Any news on combine?
Soon! I need to put a floor on the trailer for the guy and then he’ll haul it for me.
Oh darn I forgot my bad but thanks for the reminder! Ole folks moment lol

Thanks Jack! I’ve used that trick before, this time I did fill it with the evaporust. We’ll see if that loosens some of the crud.
Wow that sure ate up into that aluminum quite a bit!. I would think that should made a heck of a lot of noise I would think 🤔
Getting a little closer to getting the Oliver tractor running again nice that you had two motors to take some parts off of one to get it to work. Thanks Michael ☺️
Thanks Michael! The old motor was definitely a lost cause for sure.
OK.. CAUTION ! Never trust HEARSAY about a motor or any used item. IF were doing this I would take the engine apart for a through inspection for proper factory specks .. CRANK ,CAM, BEARINGS , GEARS ,VALVE TRAIN PISTONS. IF EVERY THING CHECKS ALL YOU NEED IS GASKETS. AN ounce of prevention is worth more than ten pounds of cure. great videos. thanks.
Thanks Thomas! We’ll find out what kind of shape this motors in but I do trust the guy I got it from so we’ll see what happens.
The eaten away fuel return canister full of power was something never seen before.
It was definitely a new one for me too
Cement floor
Someday…..
👍
You got a lot of work ahead of you that's for sure . My brother owns an automotive shop and can work on anything i'm doing good to change my oil lol . I saw a Oliver hay baler for $ 900 is that a good deal ? Thanks for sharing and have a great evening !
Balers usually sell between $300-1000. Depends on which model it is to know how good of deal it might be.
I just realized I am the first comment 😂. New first for me 👋🥴🚜
Neat!!
👍👍👍
Thanks Paul!!
