HYDRAULIC FAILURE 1550 pump problem 

It was really nice of you to fix that for him. Most people would not do that on an old tractor. When you were pumping that oil out it looked like Ross had been there…without his funnel of course 😂

I love how some people are experts at "boogering" things up! LOL

Chris so did your wife check you to see if you was an impostor when you sold the tractor? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 thanks Michael

Great video! We still use our 1550 on the farm and not many Oliver mechanics left so always learning how to keep the old girls going. Hands down one of the handiest tractors.

Thanks for the memories (cue Bob Hope's theme music). The pump striping in the gear was my first guess as we had seen it a couple or more times. I use Permatex Ultra and just a light smear. We started using an RTV that we bought from the GM dealer when they started using it for valve cover gaskets. The Aviation Permatex was also plenty good. In the oil field shop, one of the most common repairs was rebuilding the magnetos that were used on the pump jack motors. The impulse assembly would stick, which only required unscrewing the oil fill pipe assembly, squirting some gasoline down on the impulse, screwing the fill pipe back in, and then starting hand cranking. But there was another way and that was to use the crank to beat on the top of the magneto in hopes of jarring the impulse lever loose. Repeated hammering would dent the magneto housing in and crack it. Then when it rained water could leak into the magneto and stop its operation. When I had to repair magnetos I started coating the tops of the magnetos with a 1/4" layer of the GM RTV. It stopped the breaking of the magneto cases as it was stopping the pumper guys hammering by absorbing the blows from the crank handle. A simple fix that saved several hundred $$ a month and cut labor costs. Of course, some of the pumpers did not like having to remove the oil fill pipe and "gas the mag". They would try to peel the RTV off but found that labor-intensive and just "Gassed the mag" to get it to start impulsing.

Love your repair videos and the way you cover how each part operates/functions

I done this to the neighbors 1650 it had striped the pump splines also . Great job on showing the diagnosis, knowledge is about learning 👌 from turkey creek farms be safe n thankful

Great video. Thanks for sharing. You make the difficult look easy. 👍

Great vid Chris. You're doing the right thing. Good to know there are still people out there that know what :the "right thing" is. Amazing engineering to make all that happen under your seat.

Thanks for sharing ,i can remember doing all of that kind of stuff.

Great information and views we got couple days of rain lately miami County Ohio

Very interesting video. Last year, I noticed that my 1550 had a hard time picking up my White 5100 planter. I had to rev the engine to lift it with any speed at all. So, late last summer my Oliver mechanic friend Joe replaced the hydraulic pump. You are correct that the 1550 hydraulic pumps are not available. Joe put a 1650 pump in mine and like you explained, he had to change out that one gear to make it work. What a difference now. I enjoyed this video. I understand the process a whole lot better now. Had never seen it done. Thank you!

Very glad you made this video, I have a 2-70 diesel and one set of my remotes only goes up. Seeing how the linkages are is a major help. 😁

Well you certainly called it Chris. I'd like to get me a working shop, I've done most of my work on tractors and equipment outside. I guess through the years I got the horse before the cart, or got the equipment before I had the shop to fix them. Good job on explaining each step, I followed along on each step. I have a Massey Ferguson 65 that I need to do some work on, you've inspired me to get it back up and running. It was down for several years, oh and it was my first tractor that I got when I bought some land. Thanks for the video, I hope you have a great week.

Hey I commented about two years ago about how I was restoring a 66 but now I have already restored that and a 77 and plan on restoring some other tractors that I would get money for so I can restore some more Oliver’s. I’m only 15

great timing on this video, I am in the process of doing this on my 2-70, thanks

Hi Chris, really like your videos and teaching me about Olivers , mine are projects which I have trouble getting to lately, keep a eye out for that Rosssquatch.

Hey, since you're in the selling mood, how about selling me the 2050? 🤣

Our friends have saw mill and we get the sawdust for floor dry i spill lots of oil tearing stuff apart that sawdust is the best floor dry ever then burns great nice job 👍

Hi, Chris. Nice to see your a diagnosis was right not look to bad to rebuild. I was wondering you was restoration on two other tractors did you put them off and outside until winter. Sure like to see them when done. Thx for the videos

I have a 2150 with 3 point problems and hydraulic issues. At least i now know where to start . Thanks

what a timely video! i am going to do the hyd pump and lift cylinder on my 1555. so to up date my pump to the 1655 i will need a new gear with larger splines? any part numbers you have would be a great help thanks again chris for all your time and help.

That'll teach you to sell a tractor… It's supposed to be Loseys home for wayward Olivers.. haha although if there was anybody I would completely trust buying a tractor from it would be yourself

👍👍👍

I'm in shock you sold one are you sick? 😂

Yes as it so happens I need to get my 1550 diesel hydraulic pump switched out I didn’t know that u could put a 1650 pump in its place good to know thanks

LIke others, how timely. I’ve been procrastinating for a couple of years on overhauling our 1550 hydraulics. Everything works fine, hence the procrastination. It just slobbers from every joint; the hydraulic levers, the rockshaft seals, the three-point leaks down in a couple of days, and blah blah. Then it becomes what all you do while you’re in there, how far do you go? Didn’t know a 1550 hydraulic pump was NLA but not surprised, I had assumed the 15xx and 16xx would be the same as so many other things are. Assume you just get more GPM with a 16xx pump?

Did you upgrade the elbow for the rockshaft releif to schedule 80?

Are the 3 digit hydraulic systems similar, just kinda the other way around? Someday there will be a running 770 around here😊

Hey Chris I watch your videos all the time and I enjoy watching all of them. I have a hydraulic problem with my 1650 gas. I had the whole top cover off to reseal everything and replace the hydraulic pump and do some updates to the servo valve. Put everything back together and went to check the hydraulic relief valve pressure and I am getting full pressure to the remotes(2000psi) when I go to raise the 3 point up. Not sure if there’s an o-ring blown out somewhere or what’s going on. If you have any suggestions I’d appreciate it. Thanks-Evan

In 1956 my dad bought a Oliver super 77 it's still on the family farm my brother did a complete over haul on it but it start right up and runs for 45 minutes then dies and won't restart do you have any guesses why

Don't let OSHA see the hook on that hoist!! They would just have kittens.

If you run an auxiliary pump on the other side through a different valve could you then have closed center hydraulics?

what brand and model is that drill operated pump?

Can I put a 1750 pump in my 1650? Planning on a winter project

Chris where can I find a replacement pump for a 1550 ?

Hey i was wanting to ask you if you farmed all your life or retired then started to farm

How could you sell a 1550 and not to me!!! I better see that utility under restoration right after the 1855!!
