Oliver 1850 Remotes

Centex_farmer_82 · Mar 3, 2013

I have a Oliver 1850 I just got, 3pt works fine, strong power steering... my only problem is my remotes are a royal pain in the a$$ to plug in... I push the hose in and I cant get the male end to engage and hook with the female.... just when you think you have them plugged in you operate the remote svc lever and the cylinders hose just pops out.... it seems like there is too much pressure on the tractor end of things to allow me to depress the ball bearing stop in the remote.... any suggestions or anyone run into these problems.... my old international would do similar but not this big of a pain in the rear

common problem on an Oliver, we've had several, the only one that didn't bother too much was my 1650, either pend a bunch on the system trying to correct the problem, carry a hardwood dowel in the toolbox and smack the ball with the engine off or buy some Pioneer lever couplers, dumbest hydraulic system ever devised

Or shut the tractor off and cycle the hydraulics to drop the pressure. I'm assuming the pressure from the load sensing pump is high enough to fight the coupling.

Also could be to much pressure on the lines. When you plug in a line, just before you stop, hit it in the other direction to relieve pressure.

I added 2 sets of the Pioneer lever couplers on the front of a Stoll loader. One set for the 3rd function I use for a root grapple and the other set is for my upside down wood splitter. They work and work every time. Sure helps when you get older and arms aren't as strong as they use to be. Pricey at $158 per set. I call them old man couplers. LOL Keeps a lot of cuss words from being used too.

that doesn't work on an Oliver, engine needs to be running to open the valves, Oliver used an interlock valve which needs hydraulic pressure to unseat the ball allow oil to pass, not possible with the engine off

I have 2 Oliver now did have 4 and there all this way. There are 2 ways to do this. 1 leave the cylinder hooked to the tractor or 2 before you disconect the lines get the cylinder to ware it has no pressure (like you taking the cylinder off) on it and then shut the tractor off. Unhook the lines and take a short 2 foot hose with male ends on both ends and plug it in to the tractor. This will let the pressure stay equal when you try to hook up the next time. When you go to hook up agin shut the tractor off unplug the short hose and hook the cylinder back up and your good to go. Dont try to jigle the handles it wont do any good, The tractor has to be running to release the valve body to let the pressure out. Oliver had a screw in hydrolic ends they used to get around this problem, You just cant find them anymore. Bandit

Like the others said, it's an Oliver thing. I put the Pioneer lever couplers on the 88 and they work really nice. Jim

make sure you use the tips with the ball on the end, not the pointy end ones like IH. im talking about the pioneer ends

Centex_farmer_82 · Mar 3, 2013

I did what the first reply said, covered the fitting with a rag, stuck a blunt object in there, tapped it with a hammer, bled off the pressure, then hooked up my 2 cylinders and both sets of remotes functioned just fine.... shut the tractor off, worked the remotes back and forth, disconnected, and then took her for another test drive and plugged them in, problem solved, one more step, a lil more wear on the starter but if thats how it has to be it is what it is..... i had a ford 5000 that was somewhat a pain in the behind in similar manners.... im seriously thinking about doing what one of the other suggestions where and spending the 159 a piece and buying the "old man couplers"....... im only 30 but after allot of cussing in the shop, a couple excess beers drank, and putting out allot of dry sweep, I think they will pay off in the long run...... especially if someone borrows it, it will save me the headache of "the phone call"

someone has changed the couplers on the tractor. You NEED the type to "hookup under preasure" as came out on the tractor. Yes they are more expensive but not as high as high blood preasure meds.

if you put the original couplers back on an Oliver (if you could even find them, I just threw apair in the junk) you also need the matching male ends for the cylinders, a Pioneer will plug into them but they won't transfer oil, learned that on my 1650 years ago

rrlund · Mar 4, 2013

Like everybody has said,they have a little pressure on one side when they're running. Shut it off. If it pops out when you're using it,bad coupler,replace it.

Don-Wi · Mar 4, 2013

When I rebuilt my 1600 I put new couplers on right away and haven't had any issues, but I got the connect under pressure ones. The old ones I put on our 165 for the loader so they're still being used. New o rings and they're good enough for that.

Oh those are the zero-leak design pilot checks, man-lifts have them too. They are optional on my MF tractor so cylinders won't creep. Yeah I could see where they could be a pain to use every day.
