Oliver 1750 diesel pros cons

I am looking at a 1750 diesel with over and under drive, and i curious if you can still get all the parts for that tractor like injectors, power steering parts, injection pump, seals for the hydra power, etc. I have never owned an Oliver diesel before, so when I go to look at it , what should I be aware of that could be a major problem?
 
Parts shouldn't be much of of an issue. The biggest thing to be concerned about in my opinion is the 310 diesel engine it uses, they don't have a very good reputation. The one we had threw a connecting rod out the cylinder block. The 1850 diesel is a better idea I think.
 
Even if I wasn't going to use it hard, would I still have to worry about throwing a rod? It has about 5600 hours
 
Find out if it's ever been rebuilt. The biggest issue was that they had a two piece wrist pin bushing. I don't think it was much of an issue in the 1750s with them being naturally aspirated, but in the 1855 with a turbo, that's when they started mashing those bushings out and having problems. If it's been overhauled and has the one piece bushings and hardened rod bolts, you'll be fine.
 
If it hasn't been rebuilt, is replacing those rod bushings as simple as just dropping the oil pan and unbolting the old bushings and putting in the new ones? Or do you have to pull the whole engine to get to them?
 
Wrist pin bushings are in the pistons. If I was tearing down an engine far enough to change wrist pin bushings, I'd do a full rebuild.
 
Obvious u know nothing about any engine. It takes an engine tear down and machine shop work. That’s why u rebuild it when apart.
 
I wouldn't loose too much sleep over those bushings in a 1750. Like I said, when you turbo a 310, that's when the trouble starts.
 
With that many hours, not really knowing what the previous owners might have used it for and for my own peace of mind I'd rebuild the 310 with all the updates. When ours blew up we were chopping corn silage. Just sharing my experience here. I doubt anyone on this board would rebuild any of the waukesha diesels with two piece wrist pin bushings. Why? Because they are a weak spot in the engine.
 
A guy down the road a few miles had one--He ground a batch of feed and was driving across the yard to dump it out and threw a rod out the side of the block--He bought a Deere 4430---Tee








he bought
 
Agree with rrlund and others regarding the 1700 series. I still farm with a 1755 310 diesel that was purchased used in early 2000s that has not been rebuilt or upgraded. Have had no problems other than needing to put new seals in the fuel pump due to diesel getting into the engine oil. chas036 questions about how best to upgrade his 1750 engine were spot on and exactly what this forum is for.
