Thanks!

Thanks Dennis!

You should change it like I do, the other day my muffler fell off the ZTR 🤣 I guess it’s time for some glass packs!

@@rosstheoliverman On the 85 Honda Big Red, I made a square tube exhaust pipe an put a 12 hp garden tractor muffler on the end. It has another plus and that is the back pressure keeps the engine from over revving. Worked great when the grandkids were young. A friend was crying about the cost of an exhaust system for his side by side. He saw the garden tractor muffler and went home an put one on his unit. $20 fix for a $400 replacement. I got the exhaust back on and tightened up. I always had trouble with those gaskets walking around when putting exhaust manifolds and etc. on things. Today I solved that problem. I super glued them into place and they never moved out of position while working things around. Then during a tune up I dropped a sparkplug (was reusing the ones in it as they were in great shape) and broke the porcelain. Going to be a 20 mile drive for 2 plugs. Got to get it going as the grass is way overgrown. Need to cultivate the garden because the rains we have gotten has sprouted grass in the rows. Sure wish I could have found a small amount of Treflan. It worked great in the gardens years ago.

Thanks Keith!

Yes! I put it on last night, it was much easier

🤣 Thanks!

Thanks!

It still needs some work. I don’t think he ever sold it yet.

Yeah, I saw that too. Pretty sad.

Thanks! There’s a lot of parts available for many of the models but there’s a few that are harder to get parts for. The 1450 for example has not got a lot of stuff readily available.

I have my loader plumbed into power beyond, and that works a lot nicer I think, but it is more work to set it up.

I thought you would make the trip to supervise Ross with this with all of your expertise 😁

Lol, I actually re-watched your video to try to see what you had done, but then, when you drop the front end away from underneath, I thought there’s no way I’m doing that 🤣

Much fun along the way there Ross

@@rosstheoliverman I tried to take that bolt and arm off that hold the steering box to the frame but it would not budge ! 50 plus years of rust holding it in place it wasnt going to mover so I went to plan B ! The narrow front had to come out and when you work by yourself well you just get the job done somehow and call it good. After taking the 9 bolts out of the balancer and taking it off the steering box came out easy. Why I forgot about the quad seal I'll never know but I did and got to take it all back apart to put it in. When your short the proper tools or equipment well you just get creative in how you do things and it can get a little sketchy but you make it work to get the job done. Thank God I have a skid steer to use cause it comes in mighty handy when working on a tractor by yourself ! LOL That about the 10th wide front I've changed on Oliver tractors but I will say an 1850 is a little different to do one, But pulling the grill and radiator off makes it a lot easer to do thats for sure. I think every 1850 I've seen has had the steel line fixed or replaced with a hose cause they all brake the fitting or line at the steering box. It never brakes the other side its always the right side at the box. I looked at the steel line and it had 2 other spots ware it was brazed from rubbing on the frame so with those plus the broken line at the fitting I put a hose on it and there is no good way to run one ether ! Bandit

@@burrridgefarms Well if he told me he was going to do this I would have come over and gave him a hand with it and maybe another 50W wobble pop ! LOL Bandit

One thing, you will not run out of things to do ! lol.

Can’t go wrong with an Oliver!

Neighbor has a 990, it's not pretty but it is capable and easy to use

@@landontesar3070 yes same with my 1200 it's a great tractor too.

Yeah, I knew as soon as I took that damper off I’d open up a can of worms

​@@rosstheolivermanmaybe I'm remembering it wrong, I thought it was the 9 bolts and the damper came off the hub.

@@ThatOliverGuyChrisI’m sure that would do it as well, but the more I looked at those bolts, the more I could envision that they would twist off. So I thought I’d try it without taking any more stuff off than necessary.

🤣🤣🤣

🤣🤣🤣

Awesome!

🤣🤣🤣
