There's an Oliver 1450 available locally here for $600 that is in beautiful shape, except that it needs 'sleeves replaced or rebuilt'. From the photos, it looks like a very nice, well maintained, almost sow-quality machine.
Now, I've heard enough about the motors and parts availability on these 1450s to be concerned about my ability to get it in good working order. However, are there any options to repower it somehow with a Perkins diesel or something else? Has anyone done something like this?
