Hi everyone, great board! have been reading through for an hour....just bought my first machine ever, it is an oliver but really not sure what model and year....the numbers on it are 37-7176 and numbers 125-149-714 ...it is 6 cyl gas. If you can identify the machine that would be great as I will need to search for parts.
Secondly, the tractor bogs down badly under power , but runs great at idle....the guy I got it from hooked a wire to the choke and was adjusting the choke to keep it going...was very flimsy setup so I put a choke cable on it to keep the adjustment in place...it works better as far as keeping the choke adjustment...but still at full choke I can't get up hills at all....he said he just rebuilt the carb, but didn't help it much....any ideas???? doesn't smoke or make any engine noises at all, purrs like a kitten at idle...really stuck on this.  Not getting enough gas?
