The one reason they are cheap is they are old. Another reason is you can put a lot of money into them real fast. My neighbor's 8630 got a new water pump for $1000, a new oil cooler for $1000, a new turbo for $850, the injection pump was rebuilt for $3000 and that was before the engine was overhauled for somewhere around $10000. Now, two years later the head gasket is blown. They bought it new and it has given them 14000 hours of service but it has been far from trouble-free sevice. If the one your friend is looking at is jumping out of gear, maybe he should look for something else. He could get more money in the tranny than the tractor is worth and he will still have an engine that is not known for lasting very long.
