The Olivers are a 1950T and a 2150. Original HP was 100-120 range. The engines are 454's with 366 small chamber heads. These give a bit over 10/1 compression which works great for HD5 propane motor fuel. We used Crower"economy" camshafts in them,they are a short duration cam that makes great torque in the 1000-1800 rpm range. We mounted Pierce belt drive governors set to run at the stock 2400 rpm so speed sensative stuff like the pto would work.
The tractors put out 150 pto hp and are great pullers. Lugging those old engines down from the normal 2400 to 16-1800 while pulling through a hard spot would get the front wheels dangling in the air.
Those old olivers were great tractors with poor engines,especially those little 310's in the 1950T. With the chevy engines they are almost bullet proof. I have well over 6000 hrs on them since the conversion,with the only repairs being new pushrods/rocker arms at 4000 hrs. They are what I started farming with 25-30 years ago before I had the money to suppliment them with larger/better tractors. Now the 1950T serves as a loader tractor,and the 2150 has a front mounted snow blower.

But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
