Made a deal last fall with a fellow to buy two tractors, a White 2-70 and an older Oliver which turned out to be a 1555 diesel. It has just over 7500 hours on it The clutch adjustment is all gone and the coupling chain needs to be replaced. Other than that, it seems to be in very good condition. How hard is it to replace the clutch? I take it you have to pull the engine?
I only have about 100 acres tillable and much of it is in pasture for grazing dairy cattle. This tractor seems like it would be a really nice, handy, useful tractor for my farm. However, I'm not seeing other 1555 diesels for sale, which makes me wonder, is it too rare for me to consider using daily, or is that not something I should be concerned about? And how dependable is it and how hard is it to get parts for? Any idea on how to find re-sale value?
