I bought my 1973 Oliver 1655 for $2500. Tin was fair but not well cared for. New rear tires, new front rims, new clutch and pressure plate, over/under parts, rebuilt radiator, all new fluids, new seat, some new lights, new muffler, new front wheel bearings, and clean up and paint cost $5200 not including my labor. This spring the crankshaft broke. Total cost for rebuilding the engine including used crank ground .010 under, new sleeves and pistons, new bearings, balance, line bored, decked, new valves, guides, seats, gaskets, rebuilt water pump, rebuilt injection pump, new injectors, rebuilt alternator and starter was $5600 not including my labor. I have $13,300 invested, but I use it on the farm for planting, spraying, cultivating, hauling grain, and around the yard and I really like the tractor. I don't think I could sell it for that much.
