    Posted: 13 Apr 2016 at 5:30pm
I bought this non-running 8550 today on Purplewave in Jamestown Kansas.   I have been running a new to us 8550 the last week on a finisher and have liked it real well, so it's a keeper now. I thought it wouldn't hurt to have a parts tractor sitting here for the future.

The guy said the engine was needing the main bearings replaced when they parked it. So who knows what shape its in.

They also sold a 7060. Did anyone on here buy it? I knew I couldn't fit both on one trailer!

I was very close to bidding on that one myself, but I am much more in the need for a running one right now. I sure would hate to see you part that one out though. Darrel

I don't have plans to part it out unless my good one needs something I can't get elsewhere. A friend of mine worked for a local Fiat-Allis construction dealer and knows that engine in the 8550. I may have him overhaul it if everything else checks out okay. That, and the cost of 8 tires for it, makes it hard to pencil out!

We overhauled that motor at a dealer about 20 years ago. 12,500 was the bill then.

I was watching that and was really tempted to hit it and the 7060. The 8 row corn head was really tempting too! If it didn't cost so much to get it here I might have been knee or shoulder deep in projects
