My personal observation is: "Olivers do that". At least the ones I've seen. Our neighbors 880 was that way. He burned up quite a few starters over the years. Expensive as I recall. Oliver was one of the first mfg to offer an electric start diesel and that was over 50 years ago. Things have improved since then. My suggestion, in addition to the help already offered, would be to use a heavy duty starter/charger, and, if it's cold where you are, a good preheating sytem. If it is a winter time problem, and your tractor is preferrably in a shed, try covering the engine and entire front end of the tractor down to the floor with a tarp and stick a torpedo heater in between the rear wheels. Let that run until the engine block is warm. By that time you will have warmed everything including the fuel tank and radiator, transmission, rear end, etc. See if that helps. Also, The Oliver board might be a good place to ask the same question.
