Was wondering how to go about determining what might be a reasonable asking price. Diesel engine is getting tired but otherwise runs decent, sheet metal is straight, paint is fair. He was told the 950 engine was a different block from the 900 and 1000, much harder to find thus more valuable. Any comments would be appreciated. [Reply]   [Send Email]

The 50 series block has a larger clearance area for the hydraulic pump. You can't use a G1000 crankcase in a 50 series and still use the factory hydraulic pump.   [Reply]   [Send Email]

Realistically the value might be $3500-$6000. It does have different blocks than a G1000. The G900, G950, and g955 have a 451 cid diesel engine while the G1000 has a 504 engine. Its believed that MM did this to save strain on the rear end and transmission. Moline was hoping that farmers would not work a "smaller tractor quite as hard.   [Reply]   [Send Email]

The Vista might be a little stronger or perhaps the same. I been told the G950 uses the same cyl heads as the 670, which are not readily available in usable condition. I would guess at least $4000 if in good condition, and not needing more repairs beyond an engine rebuild.   [Reply]   [No Email]

We have a 69 Vista. My 66 G1000 is about the same as the later G900 and G950's which we also have. Our G1050 and the G1000 Vista is about the same . Ratio's are different because Ring and pinions are different in all 50 series tractors with different bull pinion / bull gear ratios.   [Reply]   [No Email]

Didn't know there was a later/ updated version of the 1000 before the Vista. Something to be stored in the memory banks. Appreciate the information.   [Reply]   [No Email]
