Its the same as my 5455 but with the pump down a hair. Not over powered for a heavy tractor in the early Tier 2 models. I like mine a lot but it has high hours and had a less than careful previous owner.
Things to watch: -there was a timing gear update required early on not all were done. -The alternator bracket on the original timing gear case is garbage and breaks off. There is a repair kit depending on what broke. -There was a wiring harness recall in early models too. -The bottom of clutch switch is likely bad or will go bad, cheap to replace and stops the neck snapping clutch. -Some early ones had a manual shuttle and dry main clutch. Watch out if it had a loader with that dry clutch. Expensive to split a cab model. -Dyna 4 is a big plus, the speedshift model is quite clunky until it warms up.
