Can't remember the model for sure, either 1950 or 1955T, that has a wakesha engine in it will be coming into my shop for some work. Has a knock to it not bad at idle, have heard crankshafts can be the problem, aleast I know of one. Just wanted to know if anybody has a manual for sale. And I don't mind being corrected on any information that I gave, chris.

Be careful, find a manual for the Oliver and not a Waukesha Manual. I know what you meant but seriously, Waukesha made a lot of specific engine changes for Oliver and I know for a fact, by first hand experience, a lot of the info is incorrect if using a Waukesha manual and working on an Oliver. Parts manual is the biggest difference, service manual isn't too bad, most of the specs on the lower end are okay, but when it comes to the top end, it all changes. I work for a Waukesha dealer and figured I could save big bucks on the engine parts and manuals. Boy, what a pain.

Great point. Technically, these engines are Oliver/Waukesha engines; manufactured under a joint venture agreement between the two companies. Also, a service manual won't tell you quite all the little details for a successful overhaul on one of these engines. Go into the archives on this site, under Research & Info to the left I think, and type in 310, 310 engines, etc., or Waukesha 310 and read the advice on properly rebuilding these engines. Trust me, it will be time well spent to familiarize yourself with these and to follow them.

Were these problems and rebuild procedures common to all 310's or just the turbo versions in the 18XX series and up? How about the non-turbo 310 in the 17XX series? Also were any of the 283 diesels effected by these "problems"? Is there any similar special advice on properly rebuilding a 283?

The 283 and naturally aspirated 310s did not have problems to the extent that the turbocharged 310s did. That said, when rebuilding these engines, following everything outlined for rebuilding a turbocharged 310 is less critical. The new rod bolts and one-piece bushings are a must, and more frequent oil changes are a good idea, as are keeping rod bearings up to par. The 283s were great engines; have known a number of them to be at 5000, 6000 hours and still running strong, well above their 70 hp rating.

Thanks for the information. Do you know if by the time the 283 was used in the White 2-70 if it had been updated to the one-piece bushings?

Not sure; never had a 283 out of a 2-70 apart, and the 2-70 was made for quite some time.
