I forgot about the 3 point with the external lift cylinders, you can't lift those by hand. They still adjust the same way, you just need to slowly find the top by listening to the hydraulic system, the sound will change when the cylinders get to the end of their travel. Back it off until the lift arms come down around 2 inches and you're all set.
Hey thanks for the link man! Yeah, it does seem like it's coming up a lot on videos and Facebook recently. Kind of weird, but I guess makes for a good video! I really like the service bulletin picture you made! Good stuff! I hope people find this video rather than damage or break something! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks. It's weird how some of these things crop up at the same time. It's like when the dealership was open. No one would walk in the door for an hour or more, then next thing you knew the parking lot was full.
I just changed my hydraulic pump in my 1655. I went to test the 3 point and it went all the way up and about stalled the tractor out. I was worried that the rockshaft was hitting that cover. hopefully the hydraulic unit didn't crack, I'll be adjusting this.
Yes, it applies to the White 2-70, 2-85, 2-105, and 2-110. I did fail to mention that you can't lift the ones with external lift cylinders by hand. Adjusting them is the same, you just need to find the top and back them off a couple inches at the arms. When you hit the top, you'll hear the hydraulics whine a little louder from the load, then back it off.
Every time I see that 550 I start thinking about how sharp that is and how much I wish I owned it. I don't have nothing but John Deere on my place anymore but my history with Olivers has always been good until the dealers moved away and I have always wanted that little 550.
@@ThatOliverGuyChris I don't think I have seen your 550. I have noticed that your 1550 is rough but its in the right hands to be nursed back to health. you really have some beautiful looking tractors. I always wanted a 550 with a decent frontend loader to clean out beef stables and also for mowing hay and culivating crops. Back in the day before I got so big in farming a 4 row planter and 2 row culivators was good and the 550 would have been fine then. Now I have a 1775 nt 24 row with splitters for soybeans, lol that 550 wouldnt pull that planter anywhere in the ground. I pull that with my 8345 JD with front wheel assist. Had my 8295 on the planter until i added saddle tanks on the tractor for spraying as i plant.
Hey I just watched your video and I believe that may be what’s happening with my Oliver 550 That I just bought all of a sudden when you turn the tractor on it will race but when you go to lower it all the way it will not raise again I looked at that adjustment screw and it seems like somebody welded the opposite and from the locking nut I’ll send you a picture please tell me if this is what’s happening with my tractor I also felt the hydraulic filter between my legs and it was really hot after one try please tell me if this is what’s going on
It very well could be the problem. If it is raising tooo high, parts are binding and the pump is pushing against all of that, making for a lot of heat in the hydraulic system.
What would cause on a 1755 for the lift to be slow at idle? the tractorhad a cab on it and got converted to open station before i got it and right now the lift all the way down is only about half way down with the handle but at idle It’ll loose steering and everything if I try to raise the lift but if I leave it down steering and remotes work fine but I can rev it up 2-300 rpms and everything comes back and lift goes right up.
To me it sounds like your hydraulic pump is getting worn out. I'd get a pressure gauge on there and see how it is at an idle and at higher rpms. With a 1755 it should be the same (2200 psi) at all rpms.
@@ThatOliverGuyChriswhere do you need to check pressures?Could any of the relief valves be sticking causing this issue? The tractor sat for about 10 years
@@xade7863 the relief could be the issue. I'd get a pressure gauge that goes to 3000 psi, put a hydraulic tip on it, plug it into a remote and see what kind of pressure you are getting there to start with. The line that feeds the 3 point also feeds the remotes, so they will have the same amount of pressure to them. It could possibly be something sticking in the servo valve under the top cover, but I would think engine rpm wouldn't make a difference in that case.
If it's a late Super 55 with the hydraulic filter on the front of the hydraulic unit, then it is the same as a 550. I don't have an early Super 55 with a side filter, I'll have to check the book for that one.
It's possible, and definitely an easy thing to check. If the 3 point is still trying to lift but can't, that will make heat. There are other things that can cause heat in the hydraulic system on those, such as too high of pressure, or a relief valve that is set too low, but this is a good place to start.
This would be worth a try. A worn pump will cause a lot of heat too. That hydraulic system is great when it is working correctly, but can be a bear to diagnose, especially over the internet.
When you move it slow, does it only take a small amount of movement for it to go down all the way? Or does it take most of the swing of the lever to make it go down?
I agree with BurningDinosaurs. It sounds like a sticky servo spool. 3/4 of the slot is normal, but there is a link inside that commonly gets re-installed upside down and it throws the geometry of the linkage off. It will do what you're saying, but when it is that way, the 3 point will go full up and down in about a 1/4 of the slot. It's like the old joke about the patient telling the doctor "My arm hurts when I move it like this" and the doc says, "then don't move it that way."
@@ThatOliverGuyChris that's what I do is not move it that way but when you are trying to make hay both figureditvly and really making hay i get in a hurry and throw it forward and look back and it's still up!!!

So glad to see that there are people out here who know the true meaning of a GREEN TRACTOR! Still have Dad's old 60 and my 1755, love them both.
Thanks for the tech tip , keep them coming as time allows.
Thank you for taking time to make these videos very informative
This was good information Chris thank you for taking the time to make this video! I’m gonna check my 1800 tomorrow
Thank Chris very interesting with 3 Oliver's & 6 whites will check.
Thank you for the information

The 550 has to be one of the handiest tractors ever built. That particular 550 belongs to my friend Alan. Mine looks a little less shiny.

@@ThatOliverGuyChris ok good to hear
Thanks
Good video. I wonder if other brands have this adjustment.
I would think so, but where that adjustment would be is the catch.
Chris if you want to thin your herd of Oliver’s I’m very interested. Any of them.
Do you remember when my dad did an article on pto removal in the hpoca magazine?
Vaguely. It has been quite awhile. Was that before he was President?
I think it was before
might be a dumb question but will the 3-point lower without the tractor running?
No. It won't.
@@ThatOliverGuyChris thank you, tomorrow i will try lowering with it running, might be in touch with you again. just got 1750 thank you

What does the quick hitches look like on the end of the arms on that tractor.
They're a hook shaped open end that a hitch ball sets into. There is a latch that drops down over the ball to lock it into place.
Did they come on the tractor original.
Yes
