Cab Confession for the 1855 Restoration

The hydraulic unit goes back on the 1855, but not without a hitch that requires another trip to the Tractor Cab Confessional. I also install an add on kit that adds a warning light for the transmission lube pressure.

Another awesome video there sir, I’m assuming there were many deposits made to the swear bucket working on this part lol

[@ThatOliverGuyChris]

Yes there was. 😂

[@garlandhenry6792]

Love future Chris LOL

[@ThatOliverGuyChris]

Thanks!

[@tammygurke7482]

Love the struggle bus, waiting on swear jar😂😂😂😂😂haven’t watched all of it yet.

[@michaelsheeder148]

Chris, one more critical thing done it looks like 👍 looks like future Chris could have told you some more information that could have been helpful 🤣 you was definitely writing The struggle bus for sure 🤣🤣very funny cab confession 🤣🤣🤣 thanks Michael

[@ThatOliverGuyChris]

Thanks Michael! If future Chris had interrupted the first cab confession, this could have been avoided. 😂

[@anthonyhengst2908]

You got it all together Chris. Now that that part is done you'll have to repair the fleet of struggle busses.

[@ThatOliverGuyChris]

There's a list of them cropping up.

[@kevinhathaway7240]

You are killing me Chris!! 😆😆😆😆😂😂😂😂

[@ThatOliverGuyChris]

Thanks!

[@jeffgrier8488]

That was a great cab confession, there was definitely some editing skill involved for sure!

[@ThatOliverGuyChris]

Thanks!

[@kylechrist]

For future reference, I like to use a drill when tapping holes, the tap is hardened and so are the jaws in the chuck so as long as you dont crank down on the body of the tap, the jaws will slip when the tap encounters anything significant

[@ThatOliverGuyChris]

That's what I have done in the past, but I thought this gun on the lowest setting would be fine. I won't make that mistake again.

[@kylechrist]

@@ThatOliverGuyChris had you not said anything, no one would know 🤣

[@ThatOliverGuyChris]

@@kylechrist yeah. I have to show the mistakes so people don't want me to work on their stuff. 😂

[@rosstheoliverman]

Quick Old Chris! We need you to contact young Chris from about 30 ago. Have him give away Vern Losey & Son rubbers to the entire southern half of the state. You won’t make any money off of it, but you’ll prevent something very important from happening. Thanks, sincerely all of us from the future.

[@ThatOliverGuyChris]

😂😂😂

[@MikeJensen-wo7oh]

Chris, they make, and I have used with good success, "tap-extractors". Available for three or four flute taps. The fours work for two flute also.

[@ThatOliverGuyChris]

I'll look into that. Thanks!

[@Ham68229]

They sure do and I was going to suggest this as well. So now, future Chris won't have to worry so much about present Chris LOL :)

[@Dan-qy1rg]

Nice and fun little skit there past and future Chris, by into Apple, right, don't we all wish! Well you got the 1855 coming along, won't be much more years, ha ha, for me at least, that's what it would take. Good one, I think it's the right thing to do for the safety of the transmission lube. Thanks for sharing, I hope you have a wonderful day.

[@ThatOliverGuyChris]

Thanks!

Did you here about the 2-135 in Ireland coming up on online auction only has 55 hours on it

[@gregdavis8152]

Great video. Very informative. I’m glad discount Chris wasn’t involved. That would have complicated things.

[@ThatOliverGuyChris]

😂 there's getting to be a lot of, um, what's the plural of Chris? Crisis? 😂

[@rosstheoliverman]

@@ThatOliverGuyChrisChrisi. Like Octopi. 🐙

[@stevewesley8187]

Rather than using a tap to clean the threads , which can actually enlarge the existing threads , use a thread chaser which is designed to clean only !

[@start6858]

Did you here about the white 2-135 going up for auction supposed to only have 55 hours on it sat outside since new looks rough its the talk of the Oliver community I think machinery Pete is following it imagine shipping to get it here will be more than the tractor brings

[@ThatOliverGuyChris]

I have heard about that. It will be interesting to see what it brings. There's a lot of collector tractors already going from the US to Europe, so I would think that it will have some interest over there.

[@chrisduggins3435]

i just watched Ross drive by in his struggle bus🤣

[@codygriffin4225]

Is the pressure lube kit still available as a part or kit rem agco?

[@ThatOliverGuyChris]

It appears to be no longer available as a kit. The pressure switch is a 30-3164047, and is currently still available from Agco. The light is not, but that shouldn't be hard to find used, it's the same as the others in the dash. All the rest is common fittings and wire..

[@keithtyson6457]

I know you got that tap out😮

[@ThatOliverGuyChris]

Nope. I tried for a short time, and decided that's its new forever home.

[@jeremycherny2041]

So this light kit you now have installed is the same thing that the 2-135 and 2-155 has from factory?

[@ThatOliverGuyChris]

Yes and no. Those do have a lube pressure light, but that is a 30 psi system, whereas the Oliver is 10 psi. It would be the same as the White 2-85 and 2-105, though.

[@jeremycherny2041]

@@ThatOliverGuyChris it does save the trans. We had the light flickering.(thought it was a bad wire). Then it would stay on other then reved right up on the 2-135. The local white mechanic was still alive then and came helped us figure it out. Turned out it had a rubber hydraulic line leaking on the inside. He said things would of piled up once it blew right out. It's been good since the repair almost 20 years ago. The 2-155 has been good so far.

[@davidroberts3489]

I’m just guessing but I think there was a fatherly cameo.😂😂

[@ThatOliverGuyChris]

Nope. That was me. Technology and a teenage daughter that knows how to use it are great things.

[@davidroberts3489]

@@ThatOliverGuyChris wow, she did an outstanding job then. The deeper voice and the 20 to 30 year increase in age, spot on. Very impressed

[@ThatOliverGuyChris]

@@davidroberts3489 the age was added with a Snapchat filter that she recorded on her phone. She sent me those clips and then when editing them in I slowed it down by 10% to get the deeper voice and to also slow my movements. I'm sure I have more time into that 5 minute bit than the rest of the video.
