oliver 1265 or minneapolis moline g450

hello I am looking at a couple used tractors and wanted to see which would be easier to get parts.oliver 1265 and Minneapolis moline g450.I believe they are both fiats and both loader tractors.Any help is appreciated.
 
Search FIAT built -Oliver Tractors. One of those models was a
bit of a lemon and I don?t recall if it was the 1250 or the 1265.
Also post this question on the Oliver Forum below. RRLund is
well versed and will give some insight.
 
MM G450 is the same as the Oliver 1365,4 cylinder Fiat,MM 350 is the same as the Oliver 1265,3 cylinder basically the 3 and 4 cylinders are the same except if they are 4WD
the front end on the 3 cylinders are hard to find parts for the front end on the 1365/G450 parts are available.I'd take the 4 cylinder over the 3 cylinder.Also the
4 cylinder MM/Oliver are an 8 speed which is better than the 6 speed in my opinion.
 
Both are rated "excellent" in the Import Tractor Guide. Danny somebody compiled it, and he is pretty much considered the expert in Fiat Oliver amd MM tractors.

My dad bought a 1365 fiat/oliver maybe
35 years back. We do not farm so this
is a hobby use tractor. When he bought
it , it would jump out of 2nd and 3rd
gear. Mechanics we talked to said that
is not uncommon. We simply got used to
treating it as a 4 speed instead of 8.
Check the transmission on the g450. Otherwise, it has been a good machine
 
Yes. 2 and 3 in main box is 6 and 7 in high range. Why I said we use it as a 4 speed rather than 8. Failed to detail that
