I'm not so sure that the article I read is accurate. Also sir, you are correct about recommending to talk to an "older, seasoned" guy at the parts counter as I would call them. The younger guys look at at you crossed eyed and say "Duuuuh, whats an Oliver? Never heard of one, duuuuh??" I found one of these guys you mentioned at a Perkins dealer in Houston. A seasoned guy. Thanks J. One other thing, the set up on that 68 1850 is the same as my 66, exactly. A one belt pulley with the same type 9 bolt balancer. [Reply]   [No Email]

Crank pulley had worn the splins on my crank and ruined the crank. You're welcome to go by and look at my pieces if it will help you, I think my damper is fine. [Reply]  [No Email]
