I have a John Deere 420 that belonged to my dad. I believe the tractor was made in 1956 and 27 hp. I still have a part of Dad’s old farm and I use it to pull the bush hog (5 ft). I have been thinking about retiring the old 420 and getting something a little newer with a bit more horsepower and power steering. I don’t care what Make it is as long as it’s dependable and does the job. I don’t have a set dollar amount to spend, but would certainly like to stay under $5,000. I would use it to continue bush hogging and maybe plow and work up a garden along with some food plots for the critters. Any one got any suggestions on make/models to start looking? Thanks Emmo.

I would look at a Ford 3000 or 3600. They can be bought for under $5000. They would be around 40 PTO horse power. Good reliable simple tractors.
Truthfully I would look for one of the Fords before I would a JD of that age or size. The JD utilities tractors of that era can have serious hydraulic issues.
A 135 MF would be another model that is simple too. The Perkins engine is a good lasting motor but just about impossible to keep from leaking oil/fuel.

IH 656 or JD 3020 are very handy sized tractors for your price range. AC D17 is a good little tractor too.
