That fabricating is the hardest part for me. That's the thing that keeps me awake at night thinking about it. Then the next day I'm all crabby because I didn't get enough sleep. Then the livestock comes flying out of my mouth. Jeez.😂
I think you have a great idea. That mini alternator is a great idea as well. If it's like mine, it starts charging at 350 rpm. I used one of those on my garden tractor and it worked great. Thanks for the video. See you later.
Well you have it pretty well figured out, congrats on that. I hope everything works out fine on it, good luck with the rest of the rebuild. Thanks and I hope your evening goes great as well as your week!
I approve all your hard work. Always thinking ahead when the next person has to work on the machine. In my younger day where I worked we had a 1365 with front wheel assist and a loader. You’re right about those sweet running Fiat motors.
I like watching you fabricate for these Tractors. I had to make a bracket for the switch for an electronic Fuel pump on my MM M602. The fuel pump was already on it when i bought the tractor. But it wasn’t running. So i put the switch in and made it work.
Sounds like the time to stop at your favorite watering hole and have a belt or two. Too bad you could not find a double sheave pulley for the power steering pump and use a short belt to drive the alternator. Make a Z-shaped piece of metal that will go from your alternator mount to the other end of their bracket pivot bolt to your vertical strap. That would take away all shaking of the alternator. There are companies that make alternators that look like old-fashioned generators. I have been noticing them on old cars that have been converted to 12v. They are even cutting the bases out of old 6v batteries and putting Gel-cell batteries inside them. I ran into the problem on the 23 T build as the guy I was building it for did not want the short pickup bed where batteries and radios are put. I finally bought an Optima Gel-Cell battery and mounted it on its side under the body. Those batteries are almost indestructible.
I may not have an Oliver but would you help me with a problem I'm having with my tractor? I have a long 460 AKA Romania Ford. And it started leaking antifreeze. Not at the radiator but somewhere underneath the fuel tank is located. Have you had a problem like that. If so could you help me by telling me what I would need to do to fix. Thank you
That tractor is a fiat knockoff made in Romania, but if it’s leaking by the fuel tank it’s probably a head gasket leak or a freeze plug has come out. There’s not really anywhere else it could be coming from unless you have a cab on it and a heater hose is leaking.
@@rosstheoliverman it started leaking as it started up getting ready to brushhog. It sits outside but over all never had a problem with it. It's been a really good tractor tbh I'm hoping to fix it again. Since it's the only working tractor that runs
It would be a shame after all the work you do to those tractors and equipment for somebody to just scrap them. I also rescue old tractors, get them running and just play around with them. I think my toys could end up with the same results.
There is nothing that you have done to modify this tractor that reflects any kind of stupidity. It looks like pretty shitty design from the get go -- especially the 24 volt charging system to accommodate that retro-fitted engine that was probably originally designed to run a generator or a light plant. Fiat never dreamed these tractors would end up in south, central Indiana or that people over 50 years after manufacture would have to fabricate custom brackets to make parts fit and functional. I would also not be so sure that all of these tractors are going to end up being scrapped. If these tractors are collectible today, they will probably remain collectible 50 years from now when we are both long forgotten. I think there is value added every time you make one of these modifications. There are very few people who have the talent, understanding and sklil to do these things. I always like it when at the end of a video, you express pleasure or satisfaction with something you have accomplished. I also cannot wait to see what it looks like when you get all those goofy stickers off, paint it and make it look like a new 1250 model. It is going to be beautiful. You should take it to the fair next summer!
Ross that tractor will not be scrapped as it will be one of the main items in the Ross The Oliver Man Museum!
That’s one way to get it done, love the farm yard engineering. Keep up the good work.
Great video and job of fabricating. It will look great when done. Thanks for sharing.

Have you been keeping up with the Indiana Fever 😅
Every single game!!
Good video Ross
Nice job Ross. Very interesting video showing how to make it work.
great video I took some doing but it seems like you have it figured out
Ha ha the tape across the hood. Excellent idea and result
You really have put the work in that thing congratulations man it's becoming something
Ross your fabrication is great the little Fiat will be up and running soon
Ross, for writing that struggle bus I think you're doing a great job 👍 thanks Michael

Nice! Very inventive with everything!
Nice drill, except it reminds me of all the hours I spent in the dental chair this past year!!
👍👍Great video Ross, see ya tomorrow
Expertly done.
Italian sadness is best at 5/4 speed! (edit: nice fabricobble btw. This tractor should have the name Scarface for the sinister life it has led.)
Good job lots air time.
A job well done Ross.
The bus is full !!!
👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks!
Ross can you get the belt to run in the right direction? Enjoy your videos!
Ross you could weld some nuts on that angle iron
Next week it can be out in the field working
Hope it's ok works out
Could you have the 24 volt alternator rewound for 12 volt? That looks pretty good how you have done it.
Just a thought could you move the alternator to the other side looks more room there
👨🔧🚜👍👍

Here's my tractor I mentioned before. Old video I posted years ago
😁👍👍👍👍👍
Ross when you went to school did you ride the short bus or the long bus. I'm curious
Do you choose the struggle bus because it makes you feel more accomplished??
Starter should hold up to 24v
Just have it start on 12v and run on 24v
