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.

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.
