I am gonig to look at a 1966 Oliver 1850 diesel tractor. The owner died and his estate is selling the tractor and the person I talked with knows nothing about it other then the tractor has around 5000 hours, and has the over and under shift, starts easy , and has some light surface rust from sitting outside at times.
I know the basic things to look for when buying a gas tractor , like looking for water in the oil, or blue smoke in the exhaust, or knocking sounds in engine, or clutch an gear problems, etc. But since I have never owned an Oliver diesel before, or for that matter, any diesel tractor before, I really don't know what I should be looking for on this type of tractor that could be a major problem later on. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
