oliver 1600 opinions

Im going to look at an oliver 1600 on saterday morning. it is a gas tractor and supposed to be in good condition. I would like to find a 1650 but no luck thus far. I want to know war size disc it will pull. I have a
12 ft and and a 16ft I know that no 16 series will pull my 16 but id like to be able to use my 12ft and a 3-16 plow as well as cut rake and bale. what is your opinion on this tractor and what size disc will it pull?
 
why won't a 16 series pull a 16' disk?
1650 pulled a 12' disk and 16' harrowgator for years back from 1968 till the 1755 took over in 74
3rd direct
 
my 1850 is just right on the 16ft white 252 and has its hands full on the 18ft white 263 i doubt the 16 will pull it especially in plowed ground. maybe dicing corn stalks .
But will A 1600 pull a 12 ok in plowed ground?
 
Also remember that the early1600 tractors had a 231 cubic inch engine and the later ones were 248 cubic inch engines. When you go look check the serial number and also take a picture of the air cleaner. We sold a bunch of 1600 gas tractors with the early engine and they all pulled 3 bottom 360 series plows.
 
I think it would OK. Remember though,there's quite a difference between a 1600 and a 1650.
Had a neighbor that farmed with three 1600s. He bought the diesel new and it was his main tractor for a lot of years before he bought the used gassers. He farmed with the diesel and a Farmall A most of the years that his kids were growing up.
 
I think the differences atleast horsepower wise are mainly up to it's past. My 16 was one of the early ones, but when I opened up the engine or had the larger pistons in it. Best I can figure the dealer upgraded before it left the lot because grandpa never had it opened up. Now I've got a 3 3/4 bore in it and she pulls strong. Our 14' jd disc wouldn't be much problem and it's always pulled 3 16's in our soil. I need the 1855 to pull 4-16's.
