Farther down the page is a discussion about
manuals. I have dealt in tractor sales literature
and all sorts of manuals for 25 years. One of the
criticisms I have always heard is IT manuals are
not any good. If this is the case, then why do so
many Implement dealers use them? I can't remember
a dealer close out that didn't have lots more IT
manuals than regular OEM. I will agree the OEM
are better, but how many people really use any
manual to its full extent? I have an Oliver 99 &
Super 99 IT manual in front of me now. Paragraph
21 states - Sleeves should be replaced when the
following conditions exist. Taper 0.008. Out of
round 0.002. Wear 0.010. It goes on the tell how
to install the newer sleeves in an older motor. It
gives the dimensions for cutting a chamfer (.030
over .045 x 45 degrees) in the block. Paragraph
23. Newer style rods can be used in engines before
Serial No. 952651. Remove 1.304 from the upper end
on the front side of rods 2,4 & 6. Remove 1.304
from the upper end on the back side of rods 1,3 &
5. When I first started dealing in manuals and
literature a man told me an IT manual wasn't good
enough for the precise work he did. When I asked
him what the end play on the crankshaft of his WD
45 should be, he informed me it was not important.
I opened the IT manual for a WD 45 and pointed
out it was important enough to be listed in the IT
manual. After 25 years of listening to people
trash IT manuals, I still have the same question.
How many people do this precise amount of work? I
often wonder how many people actually read the
manuals or for that matter work on their tractors.
Once again, the OEM manuals are better, but how
many of you have checked the end play in the
crankshaft or chamfered a block?

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
