I have collected other tractors but this is my first Oliver. I picked up a 1900 Wheatland Oliver S/N 115422-986, Spec # 19-4238, and by looking at my number book it should be a 1961 model. Is this correct? What is the Spec # used for? It has a 4-53 Detroit Diesel. How many horsepower would this be? Is this a good puller? The tach is shot but when you wind her up she really screams. What is the top RPM on somthing like this? Looking in my serial # book, starting in 1962 the 1900's are listed with an A, B, or C. What does this mean? When it is running, the PTO shaft is turning at all times with the lever disengaged. Do I have a serious problem here? Mine only has an idot light for the oil pressure and amps. Did they ever come with gauges? The tires are fair, very little rust, and seems to run good. I picked it up for $2,500.00. Was this a fair price? Sorry for all the questions. I would appreciate any and all comments. Thank you all for your time.

Hey Jeff, I have a 1900 Rice. What a screeming demon they are. I love mine. There is a brake in the PTO, When you disengage the PTO it should be rather tight when it locks in the off position. If not pull on the handle toward the off direction and see if it will stop. of course this will only work if the clutches are not dragging as Mr White mentioned. Yes yours is an A series.
90 HP. 2000 RPM on the A. 2200 On the B 2400 on the C. That is what I gave for mine,Strait as a pin with minor clutch problems. Good luck with it!

It could also be the clutch adjustment,Although not real likly unless someone has been messing with it latly. It has a "over Center" clutch kinda like a twin disk. It should "pop" Or " Over Center" with light to moderate force when it is engaged and should have plenty of "free" travel between the engaged and disengaged positions.
I have been running a 1650 for about ten years and one thing I can say is correct adjustment of the PTO clutch is very important or you will be dealing with problems as Mr White is. If it is run too loose it will slip and warp the plates. I am running a 15 foot bat-wing on the 1650 and always engage it at idle first.
I hope this helps.

I have an 1800 gas, which except for the engine is similar to the 1900. Around 75 hp for the 1800 gas. Top RPM for the 1800 is 2200. A, B, or C represents the series. If yours is a 1961 it is probably an A. My PTO does the same thing. I am currently repairing it. The steel clutch plates have warped which keeps the friction plates engaged all the time. I am going to replace the steel plates to see if that works. The steel plates cost around $20 each and there are 5. Mine also only had lights for oil and amps. I put guages for oil and amps on the dash next to the temp and fuel guages. In my area, 2500 is a fair price.
