I recently purchased a Oliver 77 w/ a factory WF, the guy that had the farm auction had parked the tractor for 5-7 years, it wasn't stuck. We brought it home, parked it in the shed. Over the coarse of a week I had changed the plugs, points, condenser, rotor, cap, and the coil. Put fresh gas, ran a little through the lines and carb. Pull started it and it ran until it ran out of gas in the carb. Then today I put the carb off my other 77 on it and it started right up. It ran like crap until it got some junk cleaned out of it's self. Then we dropped the oil and ran it more, it started running alot better by the end of the day. So what my main question is... I wanna restore this tractor back to original since I have another 77 I'll pull with. I need a hydraulic pump due to the cap being off and a wasp inhabiting the pump, and also a belt pully, but you can come by them at farm sales. So if anyone has one they would be interested in getting rid of I'd be interested, I'm located in Southern IA. Thanks for any help in advance. -Dan
