Could some one please explain to me the purpose
and function of the energy cells located in the head of the oliver diesel engine, opposite the
injectors. Also any comments PRO or CON about
this tractor will be gratefully accepted.
thanks in advance.

The energy cells serve to help mix the fuel and air in the combustion chamber by providing a turbulent mixing action as the stream of liquid fuel impacts the energy cell opposite the injector, thereby creating a more efficient and cleaner combustion. The diesel in the 1800 was the finest diesel put in a farm tractor at the time it was made. Oliver sold an overwhelming portion of the diesel tractors in the 40s, 50s, and into the 60s, before other manufacturers could develop a fully successful diesel engine. Cons are very difficult to come up with. The 1800 was a very good tractor all around.

The energy cells are part of the lanova (sp) starting system.They are a pre ingintion chamber to help fire the engine and oliver is not the only company to use it.I own a 1800 gas and over all I am very happy with it.Only real problem is that the hydraulic tank is cracked or has a hole in it and all the hydraulic oil runs out into the rearend.Nice tractor overall would make a good choice.

Highboyford(I take it you have one)why don't you pull that hyd. housing off and repair that leak? It's either the seal on the draft control rod,pump seal,or a hole rusted in the resivoir pan. Good Luck.

Highboy here Yes I own one(1800)And as soon as I get the time I plan to fix the little problem.Funny thing when I buy a tractor I like to change all the fluids well with this one I got a couple of five gallon pails and opened both drain plugs on the side to drain the rearend lube, well my buckets soon got full,oh oh what kind of oil well do I have here I thought.After I filled the tractor with new oil I started it up to move it and found out I lost powersteering,well putting two and two together I figured the hydraulic had a hole and a quick hole at that,had a laugh thinking about the poor old guy who used to own it pouring hydraulic in it everyday till the rearend was full so he wouldnt lose the powersteering.
