       Spent the last year taking this little tractor down to every last nut and bolt. Everything rebuilt including the power steering, engine, Live PTO Transmission, Remote Hydraulics, three point, etc. Sure like the looks of the finished product, its officialy become one of my favorites. Next project (JD 40V) is already in the shop to be worked on this winter.

| Very, very nice job. I don't want to know how much money you spent.
New news from the Two Cylinder Club this month. An award will be given by the normal judges AND people visiting the show also get to pick the best restoration. In the past half or more of the same tractors have been there every year. Time for some new bood (iron?).
Yours looks like a good candidate.

| Rear Tires are Firestone 13.6 X 26" Field and Roads. Dont think they make them anymore. . . have had these waiting for this tractor for a couple years. Wish I could still find these Firestones, Im not a big fan on the newer styles that are out there.

| Really Nice!!
I especially like those utility models and the power steering.
The only other thing it needs is me sitting on it!!

| The tractor was originally used in a citrus orchard in Florida (probably where the turf tires come in); They had no water or fluid in them at the time of removal. Weights looked like they had been there from day one; thinking it was probably ordered that way.

|  The 430U and 430S are my two favorites and Ill probably keep them as long as Im able to get up on/drive them around. I have a couple others Ive restored (as well as a couple to be restored) that Id consider selling for the right price!
