Decided to mess with this again. Posted back in march and got varying answers. I bought this tractor from a gentleman that said he quit using it because it just became such a bear to get started even after he replaced the glow plugs. Found on a Red Power forum that engine won't run if return line is pluged. Remove line from pump, and sure enough, I could not blow through line. Thought I found the problem. So I put a hose barb on pump and ran a line into a bucket. Still won't run. I pulled all glow plugs and when cranking engine over, I get diesel vapor and air out of glow plug holes. However, when glow plugs are in, I do not get white smoke out of exhaust. I have a good running 560 diesel to compare it to, and when it cranks over before starting, I get white smoke out the exhaust. Where do I go from here? I can't pull start since it's a hydro. How do I check compression on this engine before I spend hundreds on a pump rebuild if that is what is needed? Tractor seems to be in awfully good shape considering tach shows over 8000 hours. However tach goes to 3000 rpm with a 2700 rpm pto, so I'm not sure the tach is origional. Wheels and tires and paint are not origional. I though the late 656 diesels were governed to 2300. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Today's Featured Article - Upgrading an Oliver Super 55 Electrical System - by Dennis Hawkins. My old Oliver Super 55 has been just sitting and rusting for several years now. I really hate to see a good tractor being treated that way, but not being able to start it without a 30 minute point filing ritual every time contributed to its demise. If it would just start when I turn the key, then I would use it more often. In addition to a bad case of old age, most of the tractor's original electrical system was simply too unreliable to keep. The main focus of this page is to show how I upgr
