I am going to look at an Oliver 1850 diesel tomorrow to buy. Just interested to know of any week points on these tractors to check while I am looking at it.

Thanks,
Harold

PTO is a common problem.Just make sure it snaps on and snaps off.

When engine is running,PTO shaft should be stopped or at least turning slow with PTO off.

I'll go along with the snap in and out part,but they were notorious for not stopping when the engine is running,at least when there is nothing hooked to them. More likely than not,it will turn at normal speed,not slowly when they are running. I wouldn't call it a problem on any one tractor,just kind of an annoying "defect" on all of them.

Hi, As a tip, it's not a common trouble, but make sure the vibration dampner on the front of the cranmkshaft doesn't wobble. This used to be an expensive fix years ago, I don't have any idea what it might cost today. The pulley that the dampner mounts to is actually 2 pieces, a tapered collar & pulley itself. The whole assembly is then held onto the crankshaft by a single large capscrew that screws into the end of the crank. The end of the crank is splined,as is the collar.If left loose to wobble, it can break a crank. As a rule, that is normally a heck of a tractor. Good luck! Jon

Mine isn't splined,it's keyed. I haven't seen a 354 Perkins that was splined.

Rick: Watch what you say there on those crankshafts!. I have a list of probably 10-12 different cranks used in 354 Perkins. Some are keyed some are splined. Also on your other topic about the weather you get 15 miles south of me toward Putnam county they disked the corn up a couple of weeks ago and now they make the national news because of the floods.

That front pulley is liquid filled. They do also wear out in time.

Not really. Just make sure everything works. No particular weaknesses.
