Big Dean - MF 1130 ?

[zjohnson]

I have a 1130 with a tired AT354. What would be a reasonable price for a rebuild including turbo? Multi-power ,Hyd's, body, etc. are great. I'm trying to decide to sell as is or rebuild. Thanks!

A complete rebuild kit for the engine is $1050 you could wind up with as much as $600 worth of machine shop work on the head and crankshaft. It takes about 35 hours labor to completely rebuild the engine most shops rates in this area are from $50 to $65 so that would be $1750 to $2200. I don't have any idea what the charge to rebuild a turbo in this day a time. It could cost as much as $4000 to rebuild the engine & turbo

Thanks for the reply! My $$ Advisor wants me to sell (since she let me buy a new cab 4wd 492 to "replace" it) but I like this heavy ole workhorse and really "need" a dedicated bushhoging tractor /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif.

Big Dean & ZJohnson... would you two consider reading THIS post, also here in MF.

I found an 1135 for sale but the headline was for a different tractor.

I'd be interested to know if you have any thoughts on the value after seeing the pics.

Hours on it are about 3,940, cab (a/c not working if it's in there but the fan blows), started right up.

Thanks for any thoughts

Richard

Hey,

Have you got some pics of the 492 for us too see ? Inside cab shots too please?

Thanks,

Will

Give me a couple of days- maybe this weekend - and I will do my best to get the pics. If you are interested in a 491/492, I will happy to give you my impressions.
