I have my Oliver G1355 and i absolutely love it for using in the field plowing, disking, etc. I wouldnt be afraid to hook it to anything. When the time is taken and the engine is re-done correctly, they are a heck of an engine. I have never heard of an external pump causing more issues than what its worth, not sure where that comes from? The same poster talked about dropping valves, care to elaborate? I have heard something about this but not sure of the cause. Have never heard of one doing that around Central Illinois. Just alot of horror stories about scored cylinders/pistons from bad numbers when assembling. I know of a few other green G1355's around here but not sure if any are for sale. [Reply]   [No Email]
