So far I've concluded by going through some posts that Olivers have weak engines. Not the old 77 and 88 but the newer 1800 and 50 series. Is this true? I've read about updates when rebuilding engines. But where are their weak links? The typical stuff. Like on the red ones, we have worn trannies on the H and M, loose steering on same, newer 06, 56, and 66 models have shifting linkages that wear out and somewhat temperamental pto pumps. Of course everything is subject to wearing out, but I need to know the weak links that are common in say a 1955 model. I hear they pull like crazy, but this is no good if you have to walk back and pick up a rod or two. Oh, and some strong points would be nice too, I don't want to be too negative here. Would like to broaden my horizons. Like the red ones have awesome engines that run forever. Transmissions in the newer models are bulletproof. Front ends seem to wear fast, though. Nothing's perfect! Looking at a 1955, but need much more info so I can go look at this machine and know what to look for as far as typical problems go. Thanks, guys!

When they are worn out and tired they are all weak. For their displacement Oliver engines were as stong as any. Given good service and care they they will last thousnads of hours.
