I recently purchased a Oliver 1800 Diesel, 1963 "C" model. It has a 310 Waukesha Diesel. I am a member of the Badger Steam and Gas club in Wisconsin and want to show this tractor next year. The paint and sheet metal are very good but the engine smokes a lot (but no oil leaks). It starts and runs good but lots of smoke. I guess mostly because its 47 years old and still running. I am planning an engine rebuild including pistons, rings, sleeves, bearings, injector repairs if needed and head rework. I have some local mechanics to help with the motor but would like to find some parts at a good price and hear if there are a few tips to look out or plan for during the process. I know there are not many with experience onthis old of tractor. I am told all this work can be done with out removing the motor. I have already purchased the service manual for this tractor. Any tips are appreciated! Thank you
