I bought an Oliver 77 to rebuild at high school with my ag-repair class.  Any start up info would be great.  Answers to the following questions would be greatly appreciated.
1. How do I identify the straight six gas engine?
2. Where are the serial numbers for chasis and engine.
3. Should I convert to 12v alternator or leave generator on
4. What is the original tire size on frt (wide axle)
5 Is there a good spot to buy decals and emblems?
6. Would any oliver paint color do. I restored a 170 oliver spreader and would like to paint it to the same color of green.
7. Is there info available for oliver plows.  With the tractor came a pull type, two furrow, oliver plow.  Is there a model number for the plow?
 
My plan is to restore and plow at the September 2009 plowing match in Earlton, Ontario Canada.

Any other info would be great
Thank you  for any help
