Here we go, hoping someone may have an answer or two:
1. Why is there a difference in the long pto shaft between an Oliver 2255 2wd with a 3150 cat engine versus an Oliver 2255 4wd with a 3208 cat engine. The latter uses a 67 inch shaft while the former uses a 68 & 3/8's inch long shaft. Discovered this when the short plug went too far and dropped a bit. It was loose in the pto tube. We put the old shaft back in.
2. I suspect my Oliver 1950 with a Detroit diesel needs new fuel filters. It misfires under a load but runs fine with no load. Had a GM expert come out and tune it up but it never misfired before. I will try the filters first.
3. Same tractor (1950), hydraulics seemed to overflow and were running hot. This tractor sat for 2 years and wasn't really used much after a Dupont overhaul. Hydraulic oil seemed to bubble up. Looks like it is Hy-tran. Maybe a filter again or is some valve stuck.
4. My Oliver 1855 temp gauge indicates it is almost in the hot area but the tractor is not overheating or spewing radiator fluid. Would I start with the sender or the gauge to see if one is faulty?
