Eastern VA. No such thing as too many Magnums.
If it has high hours, that seems expensive. They are cheap down here. I sold one that had been rebuilt from the radiator to the PTO and didn't get that much. They are OK tractors. Good luggers, but a little short on traction for the power. You'll wish it had a gear between 5th and 6th. There were thousands of them in the Virginia-Carolina region, and every one I ever knew of needed significant transmission work, but they would go a long time before needing those repairs. They were better than their competitors of that era. We got 14,000 hrs out of ours. Kind of odd that the PTO is out. I would rather have a high hour 7140 MFD magnum for twice the money.
