What is the biggest 6 cylinder Oliver of the 88 or Super 88 era? Gas or diesel. Did the Oliver diesel start good in cold weather?

Oliver diesels are generally hard starting. My 88 has a good motor and it is still hard starting. I try not to use ether on it, bad for motor. If I can I heat the block or drag the tractor to start it. My cousin had a newer oliver 1655 and it is also hard starting.

Re Oliver starting- I had a 1550 for almost 20 years, and always started it with a puff of ether. Sold it to a neighbor a few years ago- he fixed the preheater, and now it starts without ether, so long as its not really cold out. So much for the myth that if you ever use ether, you'll never be able to start without it. Generally, though, it seems that Olivers are not as easy to start cold as many other makes.

The 88 was built from 1947 to 1954. The Super 88 from 1954 to 1958. The Super 88 engine had a 265 c.i. displacement. The biggest 6 cyl would have been the Super 99 with the 302 Oliver engine. This tractor was also available with a 3-71 GM 2 cycle engine with a gear drive blower. We have a Super 88 but it sets all winter. Don't try to start it. Do pull in some corn with it in the fall and just a little bit of the ether bunny sure helps a lot. Is a good motor too--not some old worn out junker on it's last leg.
