: I have an Oliver Super 55 that has been in the : family since the 1960's. It doesn't get used : anymore and I am thinking about restoring it - : possibly correcting the ignition flaw (which is : why it doesn't get used anymore). Has anybody : ever retrofitted one of these tractors with a : negative ground and an electronic ignition system? : Also, the cowl over the top of the engine and gas : tank is virtually gone because of rust. I have : been wanting to replace this thing for a long time, : but nobody sells new ones and used ones are : probably in the same condition. What is the : best course of action for something like that? I have seen tractors with bigger problems than yours has geed restored. Go to http://www.ainop.com/users/cowboys.airranchtwo/launch.html and check out his Oliver he restored. You might want to contact some of these parts sources for your tank and hood.

It may be as simple as polarizing the regulator by jumping the armature and battery terminals momentarily. I'm sure someone else will know. I have a Super 55 diesel, but I don't want to change anything, I only want to repair.
