Hey brother try taking some Acetone and ATF and mix both the ATF and Acetone in a jug half and half, shake it up and poor it down the cylinders and let it sit. That is the best thang to poor in the cylinders of any stuck engine.
Hope you can get that engine broke free, I have used ATF mixed with acetone at a 50/ 50 rate, seems to work pretty well for me, just a thought young man. Good luck and thanks for the video sir, enjoyed it.
Dang, just found yer video and that'll teach me to read the title more closely, as soon as you said "pull the spark plugs" i was like "HUH!!!!!???" lol
Good video I was taught 50 years ago to take the polis put lots of WD40 in the cylinders and let sit over night and take a brass bar put down the plug holes and tap with a hammer lightly and it works
Very clean old tractor indeed! How is there not an inch of oily dirt and grime covering the bottom of that old Oliver? Hopefully you can get her broken free.
Put the Oliver in high gear and tug on it with another tractor or a truck. Hopefully you didn’t pull the threads in the crank snout. That wouldn’t be good. I never try to break engines loose on the crank bolt. I only use it to bar free engines over. If the clutch will hold that’s probably the best bet. Also leave the plugs out while pulling.
The detail is the reason why you should be watching these people bring these agricultural machinery back to working order, That's the whole point of recording it and viewers watching, It's no good if they are just telling you how things happened and what they had to do, The camera were that far away nothing could be seen with the detailed maintenance of these vehicles 🇨🇮
@@tmonteIHWorks everytime for me. You have to be patient. It takes a few weeks to work. I fill them to the brim, then wait, when the fluid drops I put more in, I repeat the process 3 to 4 times, then give it the wrench.
Not saying it I'd the best, but my recipe is 1/3 ATF 1/3 diesel fuel , and 1/3 acetone... pour it in let it pickle , percolator, and sizzle for a couple of weeks , usual helps loosen a seized motor
@thetractorguyoldtractor3524 I've freed a stuck ford with diesel over night, fill thru valve cover and intake and running the next day, but she smoked. I've heard kerosene is better but this was back in the middle 70tys, a friend was so pissed my Lemans with a 2 barrel would out quarter mile his Ford 390 built 428 cobra jet heads and blueprint and the works. All his combining money went to scrap.
They produce much less power than gasoline as well so today's applications there is no way to run them on tractors unless you put a behemoth of an engine in there. But they are one of the cleanest fuel around environment wise, like 99% less pollutants compared to diesel as well as cheaper to run. Cars and light trucks could've benefitted massively from them.
this tractor was made by minnie moline and came out in about 1971. what most people dont know is the propane engines had more hp and torque than the dsl model. and you could change the cylinder blocks and heads for a 800cid oilfield engine. i worked for a M&M dealer and the owner did that with his M&M 1600.
You realize that IS an 800 cu. In. Motor? The giveaway is the 3 bolt water jacket, plus he said it was an 800 . Minneapolis Moline made 128 small bell housing engines of which 73 were put into A4T 1600 / Oliver 2655 . We had a Plainsman with the 800 that we farmed with and under the red paint was Oliver green, it was originally built and serial tagged as a 2655

Okay.
Truth
I've done this on several stuck engines and works. Depending on how rusted up/ stuck some pop loose right away others took some time.
I hope this channel takes off bc this old tractor content is great. Especially bc of the odd ball machines.
Im glued to this channel to see and hear this old Ollie run. I like your catch phrase. "Go drag something out of the woods and make it run" 🚜🚜
Keep in mind when you are looking for parts, it's really a Minneapolis-Moline A4T-1600.
Okay.
@@mmm365
You had a choice of an 8.3 Liter 6-cylinder LP gas or a 9.6 Liter 6-cylinder diesel.
@@mmm365 yes. Was a 585 cubic inch diesel.
Such a cool tractor, I really can't wait til you start tearing into it and getting it to the point of a start. I love big gas engines

What majorly cool looking tractor!😊
It sure is!
Nice 856 custom great up grades 😊
Thanks 👍

Might be a little tough on an 800 cubic inch motor.
@@tmonteIHDid you get it unseized?
hah, that would be a lot of WD40! It is a solvent though.@@tmonteIH
Thanks for the videos. I enjoy learning.
Glad to hear it!

That's cool ole tractor hope to here it run . Just fond your channel like what I've seen so far . So you have a new subscriber .
This will be a great channel
Good video. Keep them coming.
Thanks, will do!

Cool tractor and good video. Hope you win.
I hope so too
Can't Waite to see it run
Eventually.
Can’t believe it wasn’t a diesel . Great video
1 of 40
Love that id love to restore it🚜
Painting a tractor like this is a sin. Took 50 years to get that kind of patina.
More likes then subscribers. sub to see him bring this girl back to life.
Your Swindell Farm Equipment hat is from north of me about 40 miles. Indiana.
We used to trade machinery with them quite a bit back in the day.
Kerosene and automatic transmission fluid mix and pour in top of cylinders a leave their until you crank it
Enjoyed the video
Thanks
A like it, a unique piece.
I was cringing when you were turning the dampener bolt … definitely waiting for it to pop
But it didn’t break did it?
Eye ball level to the beast .
Hamms Beer good choice.
The beer refreshing.
You should back those plugs out and back in it loosens the threads up easier

75% Diesel, 25% Marvel Mystery oil. Works every time.
60% of the time.

Keep filling the cylinders and levering off the ring gear. It will break loose. I will be watching.
Patience.
Randy's Relics had a very stuck CASE tractor he worked on, may give some ideas
That’s a rather entertaining video.
I've never seen a tractor that large that wasn't a diesel. Completely surprised that it's a gasoline engine.
LP but yeah
Technically it’s propane. 1 of 40 with the big LP motor.
The cab on my 4010 is for a short person. You would be curled up!
Can't wait to see that monster run. What the capacity of the motor?
800 cubic inch. Not sure on horsepower. Would guess around 175.
what a beast!@@tmonteIH
Being a propane engine it's sure To be lighty stuck. It will be okay.
Good looking 706 gas my favorite tractor.
Great video it’s a big old tractor what year is it
1972
The plugs are for so called high performance engines. Does it help who knows.
Did some research. They were made buy a company that supplies ignition parts for natural gas engines. Makes sense since it’s an LP tractor.
Rolling American sculpture
interesting video
Glad you think so!
I hope she soaks free. I enjoy 😊
How much for the oliver??
$15,000
2655 only 62 of the these supposedly built if i buy it i.m in at 3500
Might have water on top of cylinders and be hydro locked
Spark plugs? Gasoline powered? How old is this tractor?
1972. Runs on propane
@@tmonteIH I don't think any European tractor ran on anything besides diesel since the 50s.
spark plug commonly used in air craft.
That tractor probably worth some big money restored or to someone that wants to restore. I doubt many around these days.
A lot of good original paint tractors ruined by old guys who think everything has to be shiny.
that is a great and rare collector tractor ! I have a similar unit at the farm MM AT1600 , diesel , runs , tires are needing replacement soon.

Lp and by that time it surprised me to see the tanks, at one time there were thousands of lp tractors in this country, probably a minny motor
Definitely rare. Odd ball, to say the least.
I would say the Oliver has more issues than a locked up engine
Gotta start somewhere.
Is it possible to convert that to Gasoline or a different fuel
Probably. Big a big carburetor.
Yes, it's a spark-ignition engine so it would be fairly easy to convert. A carb as he said and adjust the timing and that's about it
@@frontagulusImagine the torque that 800 CI" monster would make running gasoline?
My guess is that a gasoline engine this large sucks the gasoline. If one put a turbo diesel in her it might use way less fuel. Possibly
Propane is cheap. Or was cheap in SW Kansas in the era.
I ask; why abandon a means and a value of this type to the waste?
When it works, even old ones... it can be resold used... everything!
Este pe benzina acest tractor?
Propane
Are you selling that 706.
Sometime yea.
Lp is not for me. Too much hassle to refuel. Personally I think they are obsolete. But good luck to you.
They produce much less power than gasoline as well so today's applications there is no way to run them on tractors unless you put a behemoth of an engine in there. But they are one of the cleanest fuel around environment wise, like 99% less pollutants compared to diesel as well as cheaper to run. Cars and light trucks could've benefitted massively from them.
It was obsolete, the day it was built.
If it still works and still runs it's not obsolete

@@brokenwrench1if this had more torque than the diesel, that isn't saying much for the diesel engine they used.
@@marty8639thanks for clarification!
Drag it and pop it in gear
I think the transmission shifts hydraulically so the motor has to run to put it in gear.
А что,это гуано,с бензиновым мотором?!?😮
