I am a new owner of an Oliver 88RC gas wide front axle (1949), two questions?

Q1 When burning gas and kerosene I have a flame at the top of the exhaust stack. Is this normal, if not how can I cure this?

Q2 The front axle hubs have a lubricant plug, should this be filled with oil or grease, and how full?

thanks for any help
chris.

A flame from the stack means you have an excessive amount of fuel that isn't being burned. A blue flame will burn up and engine quickly because of the elevated temps associated with more complete combustion. A yellow or orange flame means that the mixture is burning somewhat cooler and will not hurt the engine.

I would forget the kerosine and burn just gasoline.

A flame out the top is normal for a gas burner pulling good.

I have a question. Why are you burning gas and kerosene? Just burn gas. By 1949 most all of the tractors were using just gas.
The hubs were initially supposed to be filled with 30 weight oil. If you do this, they will leak all over. Fill them with grease. You may want to change the plug to a grease fitting.
