Hi guys:

I'm a John Deere man but i also like Detroits. I was thinking of looking for a 1950 in the near future to do a little tractor pulling with and also a project tractor. What is the average value of them? How many were made? Any pro's and Con's? can that little 4-53 make good power?

Thanks Boys!

John

John the 1950s or any other Detroit Oliver have gotten more popular because you can pull with them also use them in the field to.They are pretty good pullers in farm&field classes from 10000 to15000 not fast but stought hp depends on what you want out of them. As far of price it depends on condition. The best thing if you do not have knowledge of them get someone yo check the engine that is familar with them also have an Oliver person check the tractor such as pto hydralics/ hydra power/ steering and greneral operation.Its better to be safe than sorry because the newest one is a1970 model the prices that I have seen run from$3500 to $10000 and up if they are in excellent shape, I have owned 27 of them through the years. Good luck/ hope you get a good one and enjoy it as much as I have Terry Clubb LaGrange Ky.

Like you, I am a JD man who likes Detroits. You'd be hard put to find anything tougher. According to the I&T used tractor price guide for 2002, they were made from 1964-1966, and go for $3300 to $5700 (personally, I think that is too cheap) depending on condition and age and whether 4WD or not, and according to serial number list, about 18,000. Thoise little screamin' 53 Detroits were used in an awful lot of construction equipment and pulled well, altho you had to keep the revs up since they could not pull all that well from a deep down lug (not a lot of what they call "torque rise" today). just my $0.02

Like you I am also looking for a 1950 or 1900 Oliver or Cockshutt, since they are basically the same tractor. I want with a Detroit in it, so I can pull Hotfarm and possibly higher with it, but be able to use to haul hay in the summer and work ground. I have been looking for one in descent condition, possibly even a motor that is stuck or needs work. I've been looking for awhile, but good luck to you.
