Bought another one

rrlund · Feb 6, 2013

I bought this 1365 today. I've had the same loader tractor for over 31 years now,a Deere,been holding out for just the right replacement and when I saw this one,I was pretty sure it was the one.
No offense to the Cockshutt guys,but as soon as the weather warms up,this one's getting a Meadow Green and Clover White paint job so it matches the other 7 Olivers around here.

Nice. We gotta know how many $$$$$

rrlund · Feb 6, 2013

Well.....a dealer had it 135 miles from home. They were asking $5850. I told them I wouldn't even try to talk them down if they'd deliver it,so that's what I gave. They're bringing it Friday of the weather is decent,but the forcast looks iffy. Don't know if this storm that's coming will roll on out of here in time or not.

You gonna bring it to the summer show this year? It's in the featured tractors!

Wanna pay the trucking?! lol

Nice looking tractor, hope it's a good one for ya. I've never been around one, the only downside I have heard is they don't turn very short. Decent tires, doesn't look all beat up like most older loader tractors, I think you have a keeper there. Chris

Randy, that's a nice straight looking tractor. That should run you a lot of years.

Kinda disapointing that the hunt's over though. Been checking every ad,sale bill and dealers lot for years looking for one. Guess I'll have to spend the next few years looking for just the right pickup,discbine or newer round baler.

Those are outstanding tractors there were hundreds and hundreds sold out here. Most were made into high crops or mudders. Still a few working the fields. Great find. Enjoy

   Looks like you have found a good one.  As a former Branch Service Manager I can tell you that these tractors was our lowest warranty expense tractors.
  Don't know if you have been around these tractors.  There is a ratching slip clutch in the drive shaft going to the front differential to protect the front end.  Slide the bucket into a big pile and attemp to raise it while backing, now all the power is applied to the front axle.  If you hear a loud banging sound coming from the front it's the driveshaft slip clutch.  No its not the pinion shaft jumping the ring gear.

Very sharp. I could use one of those around here. Congrat!

That tractor is sounding better all the time. I also would keep the tractor the original color. I must be color blind as I like most any tractors. The inside of my barn looks like a rainbow now.

Did you visit North Center next door to Van Paemels? Great little Agco dealer. Just put some parts on my Massey 65 that I picked up from them this afternoon. My brother has an 1850, a 550, a Gleaner F, and a couple pieces of old oliver and white tillage equipment. We do all we can to keep the old Agco dealer open. Did get my first tractor through van Paemels though years ago, and old 2n that was coming in on trade. He let me have it for what he was going to pay for the trade.

Can't beat that Cockshutt red. That's why it looks so good.

Oliver Farmer in MI · Feb 8, 2013

Leave it red! I have a Cockshutt 550 (I"m Matt in the Thumb"s brother) that got a sub-par green paint job way back when and I wish it was still red.

Nice looking tractor. Looks real sharp. Those handle pretty well from what I have been told. You will have to snap some action photos of it on the farm.

rrlund · Feb 8, 2013

I pulled in there by mistake. I came in from the west on Armada Center road and pulled in to North Centers south driveway. Couldn't take my eyes off that red 550 they had sitting there.
