I am thinking about doing a trade with a fellow. I would end up with an Oliver 1850 diesel. It has 5300 hours verified, narrow front, Good tires front and back. It has the Hydra electric valves. It does run/drive really good.
I am thinking it is worth about $6500-7000 retail. Is this high/low??
I have thought about keeping it. If I did I would want to switch it to the float/detent style hydraulic valves. To do this I would have to change the entire top housing????
Would the housing off an Oliver 1750 fit??? I know where there is a late Oliver 1750 setting with a bad engine that I can buy cheap. Are many of the parts between the 1750 and 1850 common??? The 1750 is a late one with the three speed shift.
