I have a '65 model 1650 and would not give it up for anything even after having it over 20 years now.If it is not too bad of sheet metal, and appearance, I would go for it. you won't regret it.

Mininal problems with it so far considering it"s almost 50 years old, but I don"t work it to death. [Reply]  [No Email]

Wide or narrow front end? ect. ect. They are a good all around tractor. Some folks don't care for a gas engine tractor but here in WI I like an easy starting tractor when the temperature gets cold. As for the hydra-power, talk with Mr. rrlund he just got the one in his 1600 fixed. If the the tires are good I'd buy it. [Reply]  [No Email]

Peters, 10-09-2012 11:42:34   Through some freak stroke of luck,mine fixed itself after 12 years of not being right. Mine wanted to slip in to underdrive all the time,rarely shifted up in to direct. I started pushing silage up the bunker without checking the fluid level. After about 4 days it started whining like crazy. I filled it with Merc/Dex combo fluid and it started working like a new one. Still is. As far as $2700 for that one,maybe a touch on the high side (I"d have said $2500),but yea,a darned good tractor. They make a heck of a loader tractor or chore tractor around the cattle yard for darned sure. [Reply]  [No Email]
