Since your going gas I would say the Oliver 1650 IF it is in good shape. Yes you do not have to split it to work on it but pulling all the stuff off to lift the motor/hydraul out of the tub is not fun either. I can actually have a JD 2020 split faster.
I have owned two gas Oliver 1650s over the years. They set up higher which I liked when mowing and field work. The only trouble I had was snow blowing in the winter. The carburetor would want to ice up when pulled hard. That would be an issue on either tractor. I added a heat houser and that helped but some times it still would ice up. You would have to idle the tractor down for a few minutes to melt the ice off the carburetor.
As for parts the Oliver is not bad for parts. AGCO is not cheap but since the majority of the Oliver 1650 parts are used on many models of Olivers the parts are easily found. You have fairly good after market support too. I would say the after market options are actually better for the Oliver over the JD 2020 just because of the number of models using the same parts.
