Subject: Re: Looking at buying a Case IH 7140



We have a 7120 and a 7140. We have done some work on both, but both tractors were cheap Southern Belle's and the repairs didn't break the bank. Good news is that if you DO happen to do trans work, it will be less than half of what the comparable greene powershift will cost to repair, ditto the engine. As to turning radius, if you are using 12 row equipment you will be fine, it sort of depends on rubber. If you run narrower front rubber, and lock the oscillation stops down a little, you can cheat the wheels out and make it turn pretty good. We currently have ours set on 80" centers, because it never does in crop work, and it rides great and will turn sharp enough to run a 15 foot drill or cultimulcher.
