Oliver fans,
I have a 1954/5 Gas Super 55 which runs great, last night I shut it off to visit with an admirer and to my astonishment it wouldn't start back up. The kick starter spun the starter but it would not engage. Am I looking and a new starter? if so what part numbers doI need? can the starter be repaired with common parts. The only marking I can see on the existing starter is 6V reconditioned (system is a 12 volt).

Also the tractor does seem to run a little warm. I have what appears to be a drilled hole in the radiator cap and the radiator has a simple overflow pipe/hose that goes down the left side with no resivor. I think I read somewhere that some of these had non-pressurized cooling systems, is that correct? I add about a pint of water/antifreeze after mowing in hot weather, I do run on some steep side slopes and sometimes loose a little water out of the system. The temp gauge reads 180-195 but the motor seems quite a bit warmer than that. Thanks for your insight.

Hi Starters can be gotten for your model around $200. I just went through the ordeal for my 55 diesel. I endend up with a delco car model that is hi torqe that is for gas not diesel and made my life heck. Bolts up fine and better value. Found the right one and what a difference. Anyway, I have the one that will work fine on gas that is almost new for $75 delivered.

Thanks for the offer, but got mine fixed, the main spring in the gear drive was broken, $20 bucks and and 10 minutes I was back in action. Thanks again for the offer.

Sounds like the starter bendex has gone bad, a good starter repair shop should be able to fix you right up. As far as the temp that sounds like it should be 180-200 is pretty normall over 200 I'd think about doing a rad flush
