Glen;

What timing.  My OC 3 does the same thing and my neighbor recommended a stop leak product that Lucas oil manufactures.

He had stated that he used it all the time in his tandem axle Mack dump truck and it worked great.  I am going to try it myself vs. tearing it apart.

Hope this helps.

Guys;

Thanks for the feedback.  Did some additional research and found the following numbers:

524567746 - Cast number on the right side of the motor (behind magneto)
112017 - Cast number on the support bracket between the top of the bell housing and the bottom of the gas tank.

As you are aware - I just got this crawler at an auction but would like to know what year it is.  The previous owner stated that it was a 42 - but would like to confirm on my own.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

The number as listed is a casting number.  I have looked high and low and can't find any additional numbers.  When you say bell housing - is this the area right below the gas tank area?  Sorry as I am unfamiliar with the terminology being given.  Any illustrations or photos you might have would be great.

Thanks

being a newby - Is the housing you are referring to below the gas tank at the transmission area?  I did find the following number - 112017.  Is this considered the serial number?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advane

Hello to all once again.

As you are all aware I am a newby to the crawler world.  By chance would anybody have the track tightening instruction for a Oliver HG42.

I have a good idea on how to do it - but just want to play it safe so I don't break anything.

Thanks in advance.

thanks for the feedback.

Hello to all once again

As I stated in an earlier post - I just acquired a Oliver HG42 but do no know what year it is.  Can anybody let me know where to find the serial numbers for both the frame and motor?

Thanks

Hello to all.

I am new to the forum and am also new to the crawler world.  I just recently acquired a Oliver HG42 and drained the battery trying to get it started.
With this I am asking for some guidance in charging an 8 volt battery.  I have a good quality 6/12 volt charger and have read in several inquiries where individuals have charged and 8 volt on the 6 volt setting.

Any suggestions?  Just want to make sure I don't destroy anything.

Thanks
