How to make and old gas tractor from back in the day when ya got real gas , Well i'll probably cautch some flack here but i am going to tell the way it is plain and simple as i have far more knolage on this and worked on far move tractors for a living them many on here . First off I do run the autolite or motor craft plugs myself i do not care much for the after market electronic stuff Give me and old fashioned set of points anyday. First ya need to change your gas as the tractors from back in that time frame ran on a higher octain then your feeding it today reg leaded gas at the pumps was 95 octain and some of the socalled farm gas was 92-93 so step up to the 93 and try it for awhile . Make sure that the ing. timing is set at factory spec.'s and make sure that the advance is working in the dist correctly and for this ya need to find and old COOT like me that knows how to work on dist. and has a dist strobe . Then ya really need to lean how to set the carb both at curb ideal and at full load . Make sure that the thermostat is working and you have proper air flow thru the rad and also coming thru the air filter . Make sure that you have no manifold leaks valve adjustments are dead on . Now i know that since this is and old tractor there is ware on the cam and she my not be 100% up to snuff . but worry about that when ya get the idea that you are going to do a major overhaul then that is when ya send the cam out and have it rebuilt. My buddys and i run gas tractors and we have no problems with ours as long as we run the proper fuel . Yes i know that i am a I H man buut it hold true on the Olivers as i have been knowen to work on them But by no means do i consider myself the GURU on the olivers. . One note here when checking the ing. timing check it at the slowest ideal that you can keep the tractor running then check the advance at full throttle and see how much advance you have and check what the book calls for as i do not have my Oliver stuff here at the house. Ya got nothing to lose but a couple tanks of hightest and it's only money.

Today's Featured Article - Choosin, Mounting and Using a Bush Hog Type Mower - by Francis Robinson. Looking around at my new neighbors, most of whom are city raised and have recently acquired their first mini-farms of five to fifteen acres and also from reading questions ask at various discussion sites on the web it is frighteningly apparent that a great many guys (and a few gals) are learning by trial and error and mostly error how to use a very dangerous piece of farm equipment. It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
