I thought i read somewhere you can pull start an over under tractor without doing any damage, just wondering if this is the case. I am guessing you would use direct and probably 5th or 6th in the transmission. We have a 2255, and I think the starter is getting to the point of a rebuild, just was wondering if it could be pull started without damage. Thanks for any replies.

Thanks for all replies. It has been starting fine lately, just need to know in case we ever need to pull one. I had read an article in an oliver magazine this summer about the over under and it said the proper way to pull start these but i cant seem to find that magazine in my collection of books when i need it. Pull started a lot of tractors over the years just was not sure on these over unders. In the article it just mentioned it takes a bit to build up oil pressure then it will engage, just couldn't remember if its direct or over. Shutting it off in direct makes sense just in case we need to pull one of them. We have a 1955, 2255, 2-150, and 2-155, they have always started fine, just good to know we can pull them if we have to, thanks again.

We pulled our 1850 gas backwards I think in either range, didn't have to pull it ten feet it was running. Worked every time until I got the starter fixed.

Make sure when you shut it off, it is not in the under range. It usually wont shift whithout running. Ive. always got along fine with direct.
6th gear works fine just push the clutch back in when it starts you'll be fine.

If that has a 3208 cat Nations Starters & Alternators is about the best place for getting a new starter for it. I got one from them that was a heavier duty version of the Delco that was in it for around $275 dollars shipped to my house. It was also "made in USA" which I was very happy to see. It works very nice. Good luck.

The answer to the first part is yes. The second part is use 6th gear only. The thirds part gets a little different. Trying to remember but was thinking overdrive and you need to hold the clutch petal down untill you get it rolling good. Someone else probably has done it a lot more recent than me. J.

Shouldn't be a problem whatsoever. If it was a Massey w/ multi-power, it just plain can't be done just because of the way it is. The over/under shouldn't have any ill effects.

I'd use 6th gear.

use 6 gear and over for best results except for the 1850 with the perkins only gear on ours that will work is 5th.

Personally, I think pull starting in 6th is a little risky, because once it kicks in, you've got to be awfully quick on the draw to keep from running into the tow rig. Need a long chain and an experienced hand. If the wheels don't skid when you let out the clutch in 5th, I'd go that way.
