Well I never got around to putting up the 2 Olivers this fall so they are still out in the hay field. Got to think about the fact that water likes to get down in the exhaust of the 77. Well tried to spin it over but it acted like it was locked up. Pull the plugs out and in #4 cylinder I found ice as a matter of fact full of ice. Walked back to where I had a bottle of Heet and pour it in on top of the ice then put the plugs back in and then poured some down the exhaust. Went and delivered a hay bale and came back and pull that one plug. She turned over just fine till the battery died. Got another battery and yep it was low also. So tried 2 or 3 till I found one that would spin it over and started it up and let it run. Did the same with the S88 and also had to mess with the battery's.
Any how if you have any sitting out side and it has been wet you better check them out.
Oh and the 77 has a flapper on it but water runs down and into the exhaust
 
Campbell Soup Co. has provoded many thousands of answers to that problem for many years Old.Preventing Water and then Ice maybe collecting in a Engine Cylinder.
 
Ya but as muddy as it is right now there is no way I'm going to try to get something else to where these are sitting and cutting ruts all over the field
 
Will not work on this one the flapper works just fine but the water runs down the side of the pipe and into the manifold where the exhaust pipe fit is to it. I have tried a number of different pipes over the years and none ever work
 
I did last year but because of high winds this summer I lost the roof off one of my sheds so a number of tractors have to sit out side this winter. I had hoped to get to work on that roof before now but the weather just has not let me do so yet and looks like it will be a month or more before I can
 
Yeah Rich: Those old Olivers are tough old birds. Haven't tried to start mine outside but I'm sure I'd have the same thing goin on.

PS: Been thinking of your upcoming book - Does Roger Welsh live down by Camdenton? Just wondering if that's where he got the ideas? LOL

Never heard of that guy before but that is not saying much theres a lot of people in the area I do not know. What is funny is I also have 2 Allises in the field also one is a C and the other a WD45 and both of them would spin over just fine but I did not try to start them since they did not have any gas in them and I was to lazy to go get any
 
I hope you can get that roof up soon. It's always depressing when that kind of thing happens and you lose some of your storage space. I'm glad you could get them going anyway.

Ya that shed when I built it did even have all the roof on before it was full of machines. I never seem to have enough shed space for all the toys but I do seem at times to have 2 many of them
 
That is something that in the past has gotten people mad. The reason they get mad is because I'm a D.A.V. and they seem to think being disable means you can not do any thing. Ya I'm disabled and I have to do things a lot different then I did before I had problems but hey I do my best to keep going. I'm disabled not dead like I told a doctor once. Oh and by the way I'm not sure how many I have any more other then to many
 
A 3# coffee can or gallon paint can fits over the exaust flapper and keeps the rain or snow out. It has helped me many times.
 
I have tried that also the problem is the water runs down the sides of the pipe and also off the hood down on to the manifold and then into the engine. I have tried all sorts of things on this one and in the 15 years I have had it I have never been able to figure out how to stop it other then parking it in a building and I don't have room right now for it
 
Just a thought.Try a metal flange,like one you would slip over a stove pipe that goes through the roof of a house. Get the smallest diameter one you can to fit your exhaust stack. You may have to put a reducer on it to fit your exhaust pipe tightly. You could sheet metal screw it to the hood to form a water tight seal.
 
Years ago I had a flange on the pipe down low and it helped but that has since gone to rust heaven. Now as far as screwing any thing to the hood no way took me many years just to find a set of original side sheet metal for this tractor and I'll not mess up any thing if I can help if. Ya I know the engine is sort of more important. Most of the time when we have had wet weather I just go out and start it the next day or so but this year with all the snow and all I just didn't get it done and it caught me with my pants down sort of
 
Hey Old, Does the exhaust pipe screw into the manifold, kinda like an M or an H IH? If it does I have gotten exhaust sealer in a squeeze tube from the parts places that you put on when the manifold and pipe are cold then run the machine up to temp and it bonds them together. Not always permanent, but usually lasts a good while. Hope this helps. Redcru
 
Hey Old. Get a small blue tarp and put a bucket over the stack and bungee it down under.
They are cheap and throw away things.

What is there right now is sort of tap fit. I.E. Tap it in with a hammer sort of thing. What was there when new has long since gone by the way of old rusty things and I have no idea what it should have been
 
Try a rubber seal under the flange,(one with a groove that would slip over the outer edge). The flange shouldn"t get that hot to damage the seal if it is only on the outer most edge of the flange. It shouldn"t mess up your side panels or hood. It"s worth a shot.
