That's a hard question to answer. Like DeltaRed stated there were not very many of them made so they are rare, but the diesels are not difficult to find if you are located in the right area. Most collectors tend to collect tractors that they grew up with and most grew up on a Farmall. So there are less 650's out there, but there are less people collecting them as well.

Regarding the problems with cracked cylinder heads, yes it was a common problem. There are many different theories about what caused the cracks. The most commonly supported way to avoid cracking was to allow the engine to warm up for a long time before putting it to work and allow it to cool down afterwards (10-15 minutes both ways). Also, ensure the cooling system is well maintained, keep it full of good coolant, and never overheat the engine.
