THE 1550 IS BACK IN ACTION!

This is the third installment of the hydraulic pump replacement for the 1550. The hydraulic unit is ready to put back on the tractor, so it's just a matter of setting that in place and putting all the pieces back in their places. I also go over the procedure for adjusting the 3 point hitch height adjustment, because it was going to need it after putting the internal linkage back to its factory settings. I also set the hydraulic relief pressure. The old relief valve had been worn quite a bit, so I put a used one in and then check the pressure, adding shims until it's at the 2000 psi it's supposed to be.

Filter being stuck was a pain. Found that the disc gang wrench for 252 disc fit the filter housing and gave you a lot of leverage.

Hi Chris, I enjoy your videos, thank you

[robjohnston]

Tilt steering 😮 is that what that little flapper thingy is for? I've often wondered what it's purpose was. 😄

Do you have another 1550 to take its place?

Hey Chris when you are testing the hydraulic pressure you use a loop hose with a valve I have a gauge I can plug into the pioneer coupler on my tractors and then I pull the hydraulic lever and see what I have for pressure is that ok or should I find a valve for a loop. Can the valve be a ball valve I see yours is more like a faucet. Thanks for all the awesome videos I did the pto on my 1750 after watching your video and it’s fixed and don’t leak thanks for the helpful videos

Hey Chris, appreciate the videos. We watched this video to remove the hydraulic pump in my white 2-70. When we drained the fluid we drained the transmission and final drive as well. Saw online to use 80/90 for the trans and final drive. What we are wondering is if we can just use hydraulic fluid instead because the housing next to the gears that run the pump is machined in a way the hydraulic fluid would just run into the final drive anyway.. appreciate your advice

Hey Chris where did you find the top and bottom gaskets ?

[pagrainfarmer]

Joe just put a new hydraulic pump in my 1550 last winter. Now I know what he went through. AS I'm sure was the case for you, he had to put a 1650 pump in because that's what's available, along with a change in a gear (I think) to make it work. I enjoy watching you work on the old Olivers.

1hey sold a nice 1550 at Archbold auction the 1655 i just got Chris had spring missing under shifter i found a close 1 made it work but need couple new ones it drops way down without springs i learn something new all the time even after 40 some years u still learn

I recently changed the hydraulic filter in my 1750. While filter shopping, I saw in the Agco parts book a Retainer, P/N 104160A, right next to the spring (1:15), and mine didn't have any so I ordered one. Tres expensive at over $40 for a little stamped piece of metal. When I got it, I couldn't figure out how it should go in. It looks a little like the end cap on the filter itself, so I assumed it was maybe for an earlier style filter, so I left it out. Do you suppose this was the right thing to do?
Love the videos. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

Another great video Chris, keep them coming. It's enjoyable watching you run, and working on those old Oliver tractors

Been working on 1655 4wd just got it pretty ragged out Chris has really nice engine it's a serious diamond in the ruff needs lots of wrenching and good liquid overhaul need some nice panels for the ol girl nice job brother 👍

[chadtosh]

I’d have had a few choice words trying to line that up by myself. 🤔🤷‍♂️😆🤣👍.

[jonathancrissinger]

Good job young man. Thanks for sharing.

[earldoubet]

I seam to have issues getting the remotes to get in place most of the times, any better ideas thanks great video on this when your in there just fix it . From turkey creek farms be safe n thankful

[Dan-qyrg]

Mercy are those hydraulic filters expensive. I'm not sure how much those for the 1550 is, but the White American 80 was over $110 dollars the last time I bought it. I guess it's just one of those things you have to do to run the tractor. Good job Chris, have a good day!

[patrickpigg]

Hey Chris, I have a slow leak coming out of my PTO on my 1650. What might the problem be?
