Thanks for the info! Will be running a 32' IH 490 disk and a McFarlane 4030 reel disk if I decide to get it. We don't do a lot of heavy tillage unless we cut ruts in the fall. Might consider getting a bigger turbo till or another vertical tillage tool in the future, or possibly a strip-till machine. According to the pictures, it might need pivot bushings? I just need to get it for the right price.
Like I said, AGCO had most of it, the rest was not hard to find. We did have to machine the one pin, and also had to make a new part for the rear frame. Was not a part AGCO would have every offered anyway, but the rear main bearing had spun the housing out pretty sloppy, and it was easier to cut it out an machine a new one that it was to try and make the new bearing fit.
If you ever want to turn it up, don't go over about 400hp, the 360's didn't have the Stellite valves that the higher HP engine did, and it could give you problems. The 360 is also fully mechanical where the 8425 was an electronic governor, so a lot of folks like that better regardless.
