Hello everyone,
I am much more familiar with the fleetline Oliver's, but if everything works out I will be going to look/work on an 1800 diesel my brother's neighbor owns. He would like to sell it, but it needs the drive ring in the injection pump, which I'll be doing after I remove the pump when we go look at it. But, my brother might want to buy it once I fix it. I told him that they are good tractors as long as they don't have a 310D, which it looks to me like some 1800's came with. So what I'm wondering is how do I tell if it is an 1800 A,B, or C? Will it say on the tag, or is it just serial no breaks? Second, how do I accurately tell a 310 from a 283? Will it have the engine model stamped into it somewhere, or do I have to use an engine serial no.? Or if the 1800 did come with the 283 or the 310, are they vastly visually different? I've just never paid much attention to either of these engines when around them. Just wanted to be sure if my brother does buy it, that it does not have the 310 engine in it. Thank You
Ross
