Sometimes I like to go to tractor shows just to listen to the tractor gurus spout their knowledge. No matter what the make or model on display, there never seems to be a shortage of knowledge. I know a guy who made a loader tractor out of an Oliver 1850 by installing a front axle from a semi, along with a heavy sub frame, adding some kind of heavy duty loader (can�t recall the make), ending up with a kicka$$ unit for his efforts. One year when the local club was featuring Oliver, he took it. I happened to be standing nearby when a self appointed guru was telling a small audience all about when he used to be a field rep for Oliver, and how this was a one of a kind prototype produced at some out of the way secret location. (Maybe he got this from reading about the John Deere New Generation project, who knows?) I have also seen, (and since heard much about from faithful guru disciples), a combination of the rear half of a Farmall 300 attached to the front half of Super H, creating, with some fancy custom decal and serial number plate work, a one of a kind Super HTA. I have also heard of, (but not actually seen), the same thing done with a late model John Deere 4020 powershift grafted to the front of a 4320 to create a 4320 powershift. Does anybody know of any more of these legends floating around in coffee shops and on internet discussion forums?

That way we wouldn't buy any tune up parts until we were sure that the engine was in reasonable mechanical condition. Our tests showed a fictional compression reading of 85, 80, 82 and 86 psi. That is well within a
