OC-46 help

[stan11367]

Hi All, Ok here is my scenario.. My Uncle has a Oliver Loader Model # oc-46-3g serial #4wr-022-st. I know it is a 3cyl gas engine. #'s off block as best I could read (D281 / 2261010E) It has been sitting for like 8 years.

1) Can anyone tell me more about it?
2) What do I need to do to get her running again??
3) Where do I get tune-up parts for it?? (Points, Condenser, Plugs, wires, cap, rotor, Air & fuel Filters?

PS Although I can turn a wrench.. I know nothing about Tractors/Loaders.

Thanks in advance for any help!

By the serial number it is a 1959.  The st indicates it has the Spot Turn type of steering( clutch and brake type not the standard Cletrac differential).  Manuals turn up on E-Bay quite often. Napa should have most of your tune up parts.  Zimmermans would have most anything you would need.  They were a nice little loader.

Awesome... Thanks I will be getting the manuals from e-bay.

Do I need to bring in a plug, wire the cap and condenser and points for Napa to match up? or can they/Napa find what I need by telling them it's a 1959 3 cyl Hercules motor?

I'm sure I will be getting quite friendly with the people at Zimmermans.

Thanks again!

There should be an ID plate on the engine and on the distributor. With the engine Model and serial number and distributor number Napa should be able to get the parts.  I would phone with the info first to see what they can get.
