1963 Oliver 550
Model # 45-0592
SN 136 171 519
Initially the tractor started running rough, and eventually would not start.
I took the following action...
I replaced the following:
Battery
Points and condenser.
Distributor cap, and rotor.
Plugs and wires.
Volt regulator.
(Replacing coil tomorrow)
I know I have an issue with the charging system, as the battery constantly goes flat.
Currently the lil' beast will run great for about 20 minutes at working RPM, then misfires and stalls. If I drop the throttle it runs at idle nicely for several minutes then stalls. Sometimes I can rev it up again and continue to work for a short time. If I let it sit for a few minutes time it will fire right back up and run for the same ~20 minute cycle.
I have a couple guesses for the next course of action, but would like to read what the experts here have to offer.
