Eastern VA. No such thing as too many Magnums. | They're good tractors. They don't turn sharp. Hub seals, hitch sensor pins, and steering hoses are the most common problems, but are not very difficult or expensive to fix. Transmission is very tough and reliable. Cab is fine I think. Engine is real good. You can get parts anywhere for common stuff since it's a Cummins and it will be cheaper than a comparable Deere engine. Price a waterpump for instance. We have six of that type and I think they're the best tractors ever built. I think they'll be running when the 275 Magnums and Deere 8330s are in the scrap yard. I would try to find at least a 1992 year if it was me. Look at the S/N tag down by the clutch pedal, try to get one over serial JJA0039000. Don't rule out a 7240 or 50 in your search. They had a lot of improvements.
