Went to an auction in central WI today near Mosinee. Two tractors on the bill. The White 2-70 had a rebuilt injector pump and new clutch and pressure plate installed. It had an earlier White cab but was in real nice shape with about 3700 hours. It got $6,400.

The MM G 850 had the injector pump redone also last fall. Oliver green Hiniker cab, green right rear axle and both front spindles. White black 3 point lower left lift arm on the back. It didn't start without either. The owner said he didn't get the pre-heater fixed, but the White started right up. It rattled like crazy on start up with the shot of either but settle down. Owner seemed to like to use either on most of his other start ups. Smoke was blue and it seemed like it needed an overhaul. About 3734 hours on it. It brought $13,600. Two younger guys were bidding on it. One interesting note is that although the tractor was yellow with the exception of the part indicated, it looks like it might have been painted green at one time. It had small blotches of green on most of the rear end casting. Doesn't look like it was repainted recently and had a few extra decals, like a wiring diagram decal in the cab by the dash and decal covering the hydraulic oil near the dipstick in back.

After the auction I went home and needed to use my 1855 from the same vintage year. Started right up without a pre-heater or either and burned clean.
 
That seems like big money for the G 850,think its the same tractor as the Oliver 1755.Thanks for the results always interesting to see how much things are bringing.
 
That seems high for the g850. They were very hot a few years ago but seemed to have cooled off some. I could see that for a nice original but seems like a lot for a rougher one.

The grill was definitely the MM grill. The more I think about this tractor, it either wasn't properly cared for or it was beat. The throttle control lever had a fine wire wound between that the 3 speed control. Apparently they didn't want to tighten the nut on the inside to keep it in place. Started hard and as I said, smoked. All the replacement parts seems to indicate more hours than stated. I may be a little hard of hearing but there definitely is a different sound between a good engine and a not so good. The White 2-70 sounded stronger. I have been around my share of 310's to know the difference.
