I saw the 1973 MM 1355 Diesel for sale in the classifieds. Does anyone know of any serious problems w/this model tractor? The asking price is $8500. The tractor has factory duals and cab w/air. Any info would be appreciated.

I'd like to take a minute and thank you for the input. I have decided to pass on this tractor. The cost of the tractor and trasportation would put me over what I considered. Thanks again!

He hasn't sold the one of this site b/c he is asking too much in my opinion. The 585 was a tricky motor. I have heard from one person who used to use one that they had to split the tractor every year. I heard from another person down the wire about a person who owned two of the same year and one never gave him any trouble and the other was a lemon. The big downside is the money to rebuild one if something goes wrong. Also the ones with the 3 speed MM torque are very hard to rebuild back correctly. The oliver 3spd is not as bad. I would think 5-6 thousand for the one of this site would be plenty to pay. Just my thoughts.

I bought one 1 1/2 years ago. Have done minor repairs since but this thing is a brute. I had a lot of advice just after I bought, but those posts are probably gone as I don't think there is an archive here. Make sure there is an acessory (after market I think) oil pump on the left side of the engine as the original was reported as unreliable. Don't park on a slope in reverse and turn off the engine, they say you won't get it out of gear unless you get it started. Mine is a bear to start in cold weather, I need to fix the manifold pre-heater and that should fix all but the coldest starts. I live in Green Country and I thrive on the disparaging remarks about my yellow tractor. BTW, I paid about half of what you listed.
