I went to the recent tractor pull and I saw that the Olivers were kicking everybody else's butts. No one could keep up with the big V8. After he started bogging down he would just push the over under down, and then off he would go another 40 feet than any other tractor. The Allis D21 and the 2-10's were the next. Are there any of you that pull either of these three. I would like to hear from you on how you get all the power out of them.

What model tractor are you talking about? I am assuming a 2255. We have one of these and a White 2-150 with a turbo added on. Power for a 2255 is as easy as about two turns of a screw. Your at 150Hp and all of the sudden your at an easy 225 without a turbo and blowning a little black smoke. If you want more power yet, put on a turbo and turn the fuel all the way up, and you should be pushing around 300+ Hp. We turned up ours and man it pulls our 5,000 gallon tanker right up over the hills in 5th direct, basically the same gear as sixth under. Total weight of the loaded tanker and tractor combined is around 80,000lbs.Talk about power out of an old beast. The over/under has been holding up quite well, but we could use a double disc clutch out of a 2-180 like we put in the 2-150 White. Another thing is that the big 636, 3208 Cat has lots of lugging power around 2,000 RPM's.
About 2 years ago the White with the 585MM in it and over/under was just about unbeatable at the local pulls. Out of six hooks and 3 different drivers pulling it, it won 5 of the 6 hooks even with the clutch slipping. I don't know why, but the tires we had on it really bite when pulling. Too bad we can't get any more of the same tires.

Both the 2255 and 2-150 are at the top of the class just about every time out. The classes we compete in are 15,000 - 19,000. The tractors that pull in these classes are strictly tractor from the farm. On just about any night we could get around 30 tractors per class.

I was talking abouat the 2255. That is the best tractor built by Oliver. Does yours have a turbo? I own a 2-180 and am thinking of putting a turbo on it. I take mine to the pulls around and kick everybody off the tracks. I have her black smoking the whole way. I'm looking for a 2-150 or an Oliver 2150 to take with the White. Do you pull your 2255?

Yes I was talking about the 2255. I have heard you talk of yours on other discussions. They also had a 2150 pulling. I own a 4-150 White and a 2-105. I like the engine in the 4-150. Like you said it will pull all day long. I am looking for a big cubic inch Oliver to go and pull. Where are you from to get all those farm tractors to come out and pull?

I am from Central Pa. All of the farm classes we pull are a 4 MPH pace with stock farm tractors and some turned up. All different makes come out to pull, AC, IH, White, MF Oliver, and JD. We also have a 4-150 and have two broken rear axles to show for it. I guess it was that 5,000 gallon tanker and the torque of that 3208 CAT. HA Ha Just about every tractor we own was turned up at least 20 Hp or more. Our 1850 is running just shy of 200 Hp with the 354 perkins. We can pull 5th gear in the 10,000Lbs class with cut 18.4 X 38s on and spin it in. Our 2-150 and 2255 are right around 225-250 Hp. Diesel 77 - about 70 Hp
Oliver 1750 130 Hp
1655 - 90 Hp
We have right around 14 Oliver tractors, 2 Whites 2-150 and 4-150, and a 2805 MF
No we don't have a turbo on ours yet. I took burned out the PTO clutches and found two chips out of the heel of the ring gear. I'm not too worried though. It looks like a casting flaw where air got in. I turned our 2255 up 2.5 turns and have another 2.5 to go. I'm thinking 350 - 400 Hp no problem with the right turbo and advancing the cam. We have some black smoke coming out when in under a heavy load or throwing the throttle ahead. I won't put a turbo on it until I put a double disc out of the 2-180 in the 2255. We did this to our 2-150 because we were always slipping it.
THe 2-150 has a turbo on it and the pump is turned up all the way. Can't put out any more fuel out of the stock pump, unless you change the hydraulic head in it.

We pull our 2255 at our local fairs with our 2-150. Just a lot of weight to throw around. Luckily it is all suitcase weights. It gets tiring throwing around over 4 tons of weight in a night pulling 15K to 19K with both tractors.

I would like to put a pulling tractor together also. I'm thinking about using an 1850 rear that is sitting outback and the 3208 Cat. Take the engine apart, overhaul it and do some magic inside! In the end I would think about 800 Hp should come out rather easily with a turbo pushing out about 60 - 80 PSI of boost. The total weight of the tractor should be around 8,000 Lbs. Once I get some money around, I'm going to try this once I get some money around.

Here is a link to our pulling clubs website if it works. Competition is tough is the OFF THE FARM classes. A few I.H. tractors are turned up and are pushing out some pretty good Hp.

So much for me blabbing. Be sure to have fun when pulling whether you win or lose!

The 1850 rear will work we used a 1750 with the tub and a homemade wide front it weighed 7500 with the over under still in. Changed to a tube frame and a 3 bar cage dropped to 6450 with driver 6'5" 270# all steel tubing. Tractor made near 650 to 700hp. I have a 585 engine with 640cubes aluminum heads and a 5 disc crower that I dont have time to use and ATPA rules don't allow this engine except on the grand American circuit. I haven't the time to run everywhere. Somebody somewhere needs this bad boy to put a whuppin on some people. Let me know George
