I was looking at grandpa's 60 the other day and I noticed it had two filler caps for fuel. One led to a smaller tank mounted directly to the rear of the main tank. Was this common? What was this secondary tank used for? Also, are the 60 and 70 side panels the same size?

Thanks MH

i was looking at the oliver 60 shop manual and it does mention the dual tanks. according to the book the kerosene(or distillate)burner has a low compression engine, as compared to the gasoline engine. it also states that the head is different on the kerosene engine

Your 60 is a Kerosene burner. No it is not common

Would one of the tanks be for gas to start? Or do both take kerosene?

Thanks, MH

The small tank is for gas to start the tractor and then you should also switch it over to gas before you shut if off so the carburetor bowl has gas in it when you want to start it next time.

With the unleaded stuff we get nowadays, I find it better to stop on kero and drain the carb and lines before refilling with petrol just before start-up. Seem to get less corrosion with ally cast carbs doing it this way. just my opinion.

How are things in the UK?. I grew up with old B John Deeres and Oil Pull tractors. On the Oil Pull dad would let the Oil Pull run out of fuel and then prime it with gas the next time he started it. On the John Deeres he would also switch it over so it would start next time.

Hi John,
Dad never did change them over before stopping. Perhaps just the way he did it - always knew it was petrol as HE was starting it on the crank, and there was only himself to blame if it wasn"t!!
Alternatively, perhaps he thought a drained carb was safer with us kids around the farm, cranking, or trying to crank them over!
But this modern blend of unleaded fuel is different and lots of people reckon it goes stale very quickly. Just my 2p really.
Winter is a coming pretty quickly this year -that"s if it"s not here already!. I am expecting to have to "molly coddle" my bees to help some of them them through the winter. At the earliest opportunity I must sheet down my old Ollies for the winter (some have to stand outside), but there never seems enough time for everything - or am I getting too old?
The weather has been poor lately - I blame it on too many hurricanes over your side of the pond as we get the "back-end fall-out" about a couple of weeks after you get the brunt of the storm energy. Probably global warming is the cause?
I presume your boy is back home now, or maybe another posting somewhere else?
Regards, RAB
