Hi folks, I have a Oliver 880 diesel that a friend really wants to buy badly! The tractor runs excellent ( I was told it was rebuilt about 500 hrs. ago ) but the rest of it is in average to rough condition. The PTO will stay engaged only if you hold the lever, tie rod ends are shot, tires are bad, the high/lo lever must be held in position or it slips out. It does have a 3 point hitch, fenders, and side curtains. Sure runs smooth :) I'm not sure if a person would consider the things I mentioned as minor or major. I would greatly appreciate any help!

Hi Tony!
Not knowing if you have a wide frt (solid or adjustable) puts me at odds here, but I'll give it a general shot in the dark. Since it needs tires, the trans needs work, the pto needs work, I'd have to say about $1500.00 at best, if the remainder is all there, and depending on the condition, of coarse. I'd be figuring $800 for tires, $150 for tie rod ends, and who knows what for the gears & what not once its opened up. The narrow front would be the least desirable and the solid wide the most in my opinion. The high-low shift problem depends whether its got the torque converter or the power-booster drive. Sounds like all the sheetmetal is there, and yes, they have 4 side curtains. If you can pull at least $1500 out of the deal, you should be doing good. I bought one for just over twice that, but didn't have your problems, was also rebuilt, has the solid frt, all orig paint, good metal, new rear tires, power-booster shift, 3 point. Hope this helps.

Mark and Tony, Thanks for the help guys! Your advice gives me a good starting point for a fair selling price. p.s. this tractor has the adjustable front end

Wow the tractor has alot of parts that are nice too have.In my area junkyards ask $800 for widefronts,also will give $800 for a total junk tractor.The three point is about the same at another $800.sounds like the torque is out,really not bad to fix as long as the tranny output shaft is o.k.The pto is a easy fix also.What do you mean by side curtains?Just the sides that are opened and say 880?I would offer $2000.
