Located an 1800 C diesel that has thrown a rod cap through the block under the injection pump. The pump was not damged in the incident. Left a 2 inch hole in the block at number 1 rod. The rest of the tractor was in excellent shape. Straight sheet metal and the original paint looked very good. A good wash and waxing and it would be sharp. You can tell it was kept in a shed or garage.He also had an 88 Standerad that had just been overhauled with excellent, complete sheet metal, uncut hood and good tires. He wants $2500 for it. He has an 1800 C Cockshutt that starts and run good, but the paint is faded real bad and tire are fair. Asking $1750. The only thing I don't like about it is the fact is is not badged as an Oliver. The wife is going to buy me one of these as a Christmas present. We are leaning toward the 1800 C Oliver or the 770 Orchard in Arkasas. The question is... Which tractor should I/we buy and why. Thanks guys.
p.s. Shep Va, a Cummins re-power is out of the question. :)
