Got the 1850 back. Cost about half again what we'd hoped for of course. Having serious thoughts about whether or not we want to fix the 1955. The 310's are only good for about so many hours. Not sure we want to spend the money on a Cummins repower either. Might be time to save up a year or so and move on.
 
Hi Don. I missed your posts about the 1850 and 1955. Both pretty good tractors ! We have a 1650 gas, a 1750 diesel with a charger, oil cooler and updates. Also have a 1755 with nothing done yet so far. I am not sure what you mean by "they are only good for so many hours". Boh the 1750 and 1755 have been good work horses for us. The 1750 got a full rebuild maybe 500 hours ago. It has around 8000 hours on it. We have not done anything with the 1755. That had just under 6000 hours and runs great. Bought that one 10 years ago and it looks like the motor was never apart. Still runs great though ! If you are thinking about getting rid of the Oliver's, what are you looking at as replacements ?
 
I would really look at getting a 2-105 to replace the 1955. If the engine needs totally overhauled the cost would not be much different. The Perkins motor is a lot better one.
 
JD and Randy,

My youngest son had a 2-105 and he sold it. Didn't buy because we had no need for it at the time. Oh well. And yes, I really liked the tractor.

This is the first time since 1967 that we don't have a 4wd tractor operating here. Feel kinda naked. Lol!
