I have a 1995 863 F series Turbo Bobcat. Would like to find out if the backhoe attachment is worthwhile or not? I use the 863 for many tasks and with a heavy duty grapple on the front, it excels at fence row cleanup. Would like to use the backhoe attachment for stump removal. Not digging down...

Hello. Happy New Year everyone. I am restoring a 1974 Oliver 1855 diesel. Just seeing if any Ollie owners are out there. Have all the tin removed that can be removed, sanded and painted. Cold weather has slowed me down. Come Spring, I will start on frame, wheels and all other body painting...

When looking for a hay mower,, do I look for Mower/conditioner or just a mower. Is a Moco better for horse hay than just a mower and will one be more expensive than the other? As you can tell I am new to haying. I will be looking for a good used mover, rake and round baler for this spring. I...

This Spring I will be needing a good round baler to do roughly 30 acres of hay. Hay is for my own use. New field is coming in great with alfalfa, and grass. I use round bales. Either a 5x6 or a 6x6 bale. I also like them wrapped but that is not a deal breaker. I am looking at New Holland's...

Would like to hear opinions on whether it is worth my time to do my own hay on my 20 acre hay field. I have a good tractor, Oliver 1855 Diesel with 98 hp at the pto. I have a bobcat 78hp skidsteer with a round bale spear. That is all i have. I had a farmer that was doing my field and this year...

A question for the experts. I have two tractors. An Oliver 1855 diesel rated at 98 Hp at the PTo. I have a JD 855 compact tractor rated at 19hp at the pto and 23 hp for the tractor. I am almost too small for the 5' Woods Dixie Cutter rated at 15 hp to 65 hp and too big for the 98 hp Oliver. I...

I picked up a used Woods 5' cutter. Did not notice any leaks but when I put oil in the gearbox and spun the pto by hand the oil leaked out. This happened overnite. This is an old unit and want to use it for the summer. How safe is the "cornhead grease' in the gearbox method. Do I use straight...

I bought a used/old Woods M5-4 for $450.00. Missing a tail wheel and half the pto shaft. I replaced the entire shaft and tail wheel. Was holding gear box oil. I topped off the gear box with 90 weight and spun the shaft by hand and let sit overnight. Next day, you guessed it,, oil leaked out of...

I just picked up a very used Woods M5-4 rotary cutter. Replacing the entire pto shaft from tractor to implement as the only half of the original came with the mower and got a good price on it. I paid $475.00 for the mower. Is this considered a medium or heavy duty unit and is it considered to...

Hello everyone. Recent new owner of an 1974 Oliver 1855. Any Oliver owners out there? I have the powerplant done and it runs sweet. Sounds even better. Doing the electric repairs and then a good painting.

I have restored an 1974 Oliver 1855 to very good running condition. I do not want to show this tractor in shows, or events but want to paint it up using the proper paint colors. Meadow Green and Clover White. My question is, has anyone had any luck with painting a tractor piece by piece using...

Has anyone out there ever mounted a winch to their Bobcat. I have an 1855 with a grapple I use to clean brush and trees out of my fence rows. I was thinking of making a plate to mount on the front of the skidsteer and mount a 10,000 # winch for widowmakers and the occasional times I get stuck in...

New member here. I have an Oliver 1855 tractor. Has original canister oil and fuel filters. I heard that one or both the oil and fuel filters can be converted to a "spin on" filter. Can anyone help on this. Thanks.
