I&#039;ve been looking around but can&#039;t seem to come up with a website where I can decode the serial number.  From the ID plate on the instrument panel:
Model # 565-22459
Serial # 232023-490

My mother-in-law is thinking of adding this as a stable-mate to her [url=http&#58;//www&#46;bridge-view&#46;net/images/oliver/mist7&#46;JPG:160knbeh]88 Row Crop Diesel[/url:160knbeh] and would like information and opinions on this model.  It&#039;s main purpose will be to pull a square bailer around the field in the summer and the manure spreader in the winter.  She had the oportunity to use it this past season and it performed well.  There appear to be no leaks, it starts readily in the warm weather, the rear tires are nearly worn out and the front tires shake if you drive it too fast.  That&#039;s as much as I know about it.  Is the 1655 a decent, reliable tractor?  Are there any common defects that we should look for?  What is a tractor like this worth?

Thanks in advance!
