Ross, since you have the pan off, just drop one of the bearing caps, that will give you a sign of if any damage has been done to the crank or rods. Check the rod first, it's definite you're going to need a new pump. Odds are, just a broken pin on the shaft. I get your point but, at least you'll have a better idea of what's going on with the engine. Besides, these kind of projects, they're winter projects for a reason. Sad news, possibly, I look at it as, more of something to do to keep myself occupied. LOL I do feel your pain though. Great video, cheers :)

Tough break, sorry to see this. Im praying you'll come up with a plan and solution and save it.

I like your oil pump plan. Now while it’s upside down I would probably throw a set of bearings in it as I would think it they aren’t to much money. Now if they are pricey then yeah oil pump a give er.

Remember A lot of the Oliver and Allis 5040 were build by UTB as well as the long tractor they were build by the fiat design. So the color red could be UTB on the 1355

@rosstheoliverman 8 ай бұрын

Yes, the Allis Chalmers were built in Romania later on. This tractor is a true Fiat built in Italy. It is red because of the heritage paint.

Well these tractors are a trip and I don't think any of them are wired the same. But a beleave all the sheet metal is the same but the nose cone, I am trying to rewire mine but the new harness from Greece is suppose to be a match but isn't I have the 445 any clues on wiring codes would be helpful

What an adventure...another item added to the list of "must do" items to achieve a functional tractor. Will be a good off season project that you can tinker with and periodically walk away from when frustration sets in.

In all lives some rain must fall. Sometimes we wonder why the rain in our lives is a whole monsoon season. You need to make a pressure oiler that you connect to the oil galley to pressure up the engine before you start it for the first time. Also, break down, clear a space in one of your buildings, and pour a concrete pad so you can split tractors more easily. A little labor, 4-5 yards of concrete and you would be golden. And now that you are an expert at G-rib metal, you could close in the sides and make a simple door. OH, did I describe a shop?

Sorry to see the bad luck Ross, I wouldn't think that the shaft would break or shear the pin after getting it running, looking at that pump housing it sure don't look like the gears were spinning in there at least from what could be seen from here. One would think that if they corroded to the point that they left impressions in the housing if they were to break free after there would be evidence of them spinning.

@HughJoanneCrawford 9 ай бұрын

That is really an unfortunate turn of events Ross. I wonder if when you split the tractor to replace the clutch you may be able to do more investigating the damage done . Hopefully just the oil pump needs replacing. Thanks again Ross I do feel your pain when things go so sideways as I have thoroughly enjoyed your Fiat tractor work and I agree with you likely one of the best types mof utility tractors ever built.

@jonathancrissinger2301 9 ай бұрын

That was definitely sad. I believe it is able to be saved and worth the time, effort, and money. It is after all a special peace of history. You know much better than I what it's worth. I still am grateful for the video, even though it was sadness. I'm glad you caught it hopefully before it was trashed. See you soon in the next one.

@keithwuchter624 9 ай бұрын

That is sad, sad news. If the oil pump is the only thing wrong with it, clutch, and some miscellaneous parts you still could have a good working tractor. That you will know is right. You have come a long way with it so far. Good luck.

@johnbender1596 9 ай бұрын

Ross, looking at the evidence do you think the oil filter was removed at one time allowing water ingress to the pump. I say that because the trash in the pump is on the pressure side, and remember that when you had the oil filter off you had to clean the rust from the oil filter base before installing the new filter. The oil flows directly from the pump to the filter base, and then is distributed to the engine. Remove the balancer while you have the pan off and check it out. Balancer bearings are usually the first thing to fail when oil pressure is lost because the balancer runs at twice the speed of the crankshaft. The balancer bearings are pressed in bushings with a hole to align with the oil passage, and when starved for oil the bushings get hot and turn in the housing closing off the oil passage. With the cast pan removed it would be easy to check the rod and main bearings as well, and replace as needed. Hang in there, the sadness will pass!

@frankdeegan8974 9 ай бұрын

Here is your problem, for sure. Put in a new pump, check balancer bushings, check a rod cap. Then decide what direction to go.

@johnbender1596 9 ай бұрын

One other thought. If you have a cooling system pressure tester add 15 lbs. pressure to the system and see if you have internal leaks prior to removing the engine from the tractor. The milky oil is a concern. If you don’t have a pressure tester you can rent one at an auto parts store! Won’t cost you anything if you take it back.

Hopefully you don't have engine damage beyond the oil pump 🤞. I have no experience with the Fiat Olivers but after watching your videos I'm getting the itch. They do look like a handy tractor. My favorite is still the row crops though.

Next thing to check before going any further, check the bearings for damage from running without oil. Then decide from there. Still don't explain the moisture in the oil. In for a penny, in for a pound!
