7120 magnum, its listed at 1100 hours, but im doubting it more like 11000, who ever decided to roll tractors over after four numbers was an idiot.
Never trust the hours on a Magnum. When the instrument cluster failed (a lot of them did) the replacement started counting hours again from 0.
Only way to know for sure is to contact the previous owner(s), which is getting hard to do with tractors that old.
I was looking at an early Jd 8400 one time advertised as 5,000 hours. In the west it's rare for a tractor that age to have so few hours, so I hunted up the original owner and called him. He remembered the 8400, and that it had left his farm in Nevada when it was only a few years old with about 4,500 hours. Though technically plausible that over ten years later the tractor only gained about 500 more hours, it was pretty easy to see that someone was trying to make a lot of hours disappear.
