I have recently purchased an 1850 Oliver to just play around with. It's kind of getting boring though, and I am wondering if I could make this a pulling machine. I would be pulling in the 9300 and 10000 class against 4430's and 1066's. Do you all think that this motor in the 1850 it big enough to compete? I would have to get a turbo I know and a bigger pump and injectors, but whjat else do I need to go win? I think it would be neat to see an Oliver going against these other tractors. Any comments and help would be appreciated. Thanks, Jack

There is a guy in our area running close to 350 Hp out of a 354. He is turning aobut 4,000RPm's and is pretty impressive for the little 354. We have one on our farm running about 180-190 Hp. Put on a turbo off of a 5.9 Cummins with the small exhaust housing and get rid of the wastegate. You should easily get 25psi of boost. You can also get a large hydraulic head in the fuel pump and lasered injector tips. If not, you will twist the shaft off the injection pump if the hole aren't large enough. This will give you more fuel than you probably can burn. Just by turning the fuel up without a turbo you should be able to get about 120 HP. If you are only going to pull, I would also advance the cam and decompress the engine. You would be looking at 250 Hp, maybe 300Hp.

Jack, I don't know about building the perkins to pull with, it has a great bottom end,but the head design is really tough to get the air flow that is necessary to compete. The pump is next,I have heard that u can change it to a chain driven P pump but I am not sure about this. The turbo is the easy part but it is definitely going to have to have head work to make it "git gone". My 1.98 George Steadman
