Hey guys. I'm new to the forum, so if this breaks any rules, I'm sorry. I just got an 1951 Oliver 77 rowcrop for my 13th birthday. Runs nice,I love the 6 cylinder engine, but it has wiring problems. It will turn over, but even with the big gray switch to hyd., it won't start. We can only get it started by taking a wire with clamps, putting on end on the output (I think) of the amp meter(which still works,and it 58 years old!) and the other on the main hookup of the gray switch. If this is a common occurrence, please let me know, and if you can, help me fix it.
Thanks for any help.
P.S: some one replaced the generator with an alternator.
 
Jordan, there should be a wire from the BATTERY cable connection on the back of the push button switch that is connected to the main on/off/hyd/light switch. Check to see if that is there, if not, that"s your problem.
E-mail is open if you need more help.
Good luck with your tractor.
PS- YOU LUCKY DOG! My 13th birthday was cake and ice cream. I was 35 years old before I got my first Oliver, and I had to pay for it!!

Okay, I'll check tomorrow, since you can't work on Sunday!
Also, When you put the tracotr in sixth, and revv it up, the governor kicks in, the engine chugs, and there's alot of clunking in the rearend from the gears. Any ideas on how to fix it? My dad had one when he was a kid, atleast his dad had one, but it was super 88 deisel, and he said something about taking out a screw.
