1800 Diesel

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

283 has the injectors(crossfire 90 degree to the head) in plain sight beneath the exhaust manifold.
The 310 has the injectors behind that manifold, can't easily see them from the side.
I have no idea how to tell the A.B.C apart, i have an 1800 A myself,it is the wheatland model
 
Well a 310 in an 1800 is very trouble free. The 1800 A diesel will have 2 spin on oil filters. B & C engines use one can type oil filter. The 1800 B & C tractors use the cross fire (Lanova) 310 engines. On the 1800 B series the throttle is by the steering wheel. On the C it is on the side. There are other major differences as well. 1800 B tractors start at S/ 124 396 if I rember right, C start at 130 something. I can look in the morning. More questions>
 
rboots I had 1 with the 310 in it was a very dependable old tractor. outside of the fact it used a lot of oil and I could not find anyone to overhaul it. If I had I would still have it. The only thing I did not like was the hydraulic system. It was very difficult to hook up the hydraulic hoses.
 
My dad had an 1850 gas here on the farm, I loved the way the operators station was set up, steering wheel height/angle, seat height/placement. Wasn't it the 310 diesels that had the split wrist pin bushings and weak rod bolts that were fond of pitching rods? Or was that the 310 turbo engine?

The direct injected 310T non-oil cooler was the one that liked to throw rods. The 310 in the 1800 was pretty bullet proof cause 80 horse was a pretty happy spot for that many cubes.
 
Boots, The 1800 310 diesel was a very good engine. It wasnt running super high RPMs and didnt have the direct injection. I would stay away from the 283 diesel as it doesnt have much power for the size of tractor.
 
Thanks for the info guys, as I said, not super familiar with the later series of Oliver tractors. This info will allow me to better figure out which series it is, which doesn't really matter to me, I was just curious about the differences between series/engines. I guess I'll find out more this weekend if my brother can arrange a time with his neighbor for me to come remove the injection pump so I can repair it. Thanks again,

Ross
