1650

MikeinKy · Apr 14, 2016

I recently aquired a 1650 diesel from a neighbor and not being real familiar with Olivers, have a couple of questions. How do you let the
pressure off the hydraulic hoses to disconnect them. I think it may have had the electro- hydraulic, because there are some wires near the
levers that are cut off, if that matters. It also has been changed to iso tips. Does it do any harm to use it continually in hydra power
drive, or should it be used in direct and the hydra power only when you need to slow down or need extra power. Thanks Mike

One thing you don't want to find out going down a big hill: when you pull back the knob for the hydro-power for a slower speed, it will freewheel. It can cause pucker power pretty quick if you have a big load behind you.

As it was explained to me, Hydra-Power is a boost for hard pulls or starting loads from a standing start. Not saying you couldn't use it pretty much all the time but you would lose the advantage of having it by doing so. Also as 1970-1655 said it will free wheel when the Hydra-Power is engaged. I have a'66 model here.

Thanks, I usually leave it in direct. I have had several IH's and I use the TA the same way. How about relieving the pressure on the hydraulic hoses. It doesn't seem to work without the engine running. My other tractors, I kill the engine and work the lever.

The hydraulics on the Oliver don't work that way. It can be kind of a precision job sometimes to get the pressure off. Wiggle the lever just a little bit while the engine is running. Make sure the implement is lowered all the way to the ground so the pressure is off. Best to have the engine shut off too after doing the other steps. I've still had them hang up so bad that I had to close a Crescent wrench over the tip and pry against the breakaway to pop them out. Usually a quick yank will get them out though.

On the hydraulic lines I installed in line hydraulic shutoffs to cut the pressure to be able to hook remotes,just leave them shutoff unless I'm using them
that way there is no pressure at the quick disconnect.

As Randy said, or change to Pioneer 8250 or 9000 series couplers that will couple and uncouple under pressure.

If you don't want to buy the couplers you can shut the engine and relieve the pressure by hitting the ball with a piece of hard wood dowl. Don't use anything metal to do this as you will wreck the coupler. My 1650 never gave problems coupling them but most Olivers we have had did. A 1650 is a nice tractor but the hydraulics are a joke.
