Hello,
I just purchased a new Oliver 1265 tractor. It appears to be in good shape but I have a couple of questions about it and wondered if anyone could answer them for me.

1. What kind of oil do I need to be using in it?
2. When I use an implement on the 3 point hitch and I lift the implement up, it oscillates or sits there an bounces. Generally this can be a low or incorrect oil problem, is there anything else that would cause this behavior? How do I fix this behavior?
3. Anyone had any experiences with this tractor that they would like to share? (good or bad)

Thanks,
Chris

Chris, I'm glad to see that some one else out there has the same tractor as me. Got my 1265 several months ago. So far I am really pleased with it.

My 1365 hadn't been run for awhile when I first bought it and the hydraulics were a little jumpy but after about 30 minutes use it smoothed out

You need to Contact the museum in Charles City and at least get an operators manual. 15W-40 will probably be your best bet. Is this your first experience with a diesel? Answer this on your 3 point. If you pick the load up and then sut the engine off how long will the load stay up. You either have an internal leak on your 3 point or your sensitivety adjustment is out of adjustment. More questions? They are a tough little tractor and good on fuel. Also you should be checking you 2 stage clutch adjustment. You do need a book. J.

Thanks guys, the information really helps. I will be picking up the tractor this weekend and it does come with the manual. I will check the sensitivity on the 3 point (little lever under the seat on the right side) and I will also check the clutch adjustment. I will probably also give it a good bath and replace all the fluids just to be on the safe side. Thanks again for the replies.
