Seen this while buying a Bushhog. Guy wants $600. Rims rusted manifold rusted to pieces on ground. Says transmission locked up. It won't come out of gear ,maybe a trick to it.sheet metal looks good. Sat out in field for 30 years. I don't need it. But he talking about selling for scrap. Any value in it Kevin in Central AL

Should be a lot of good parts or may not even be that bad to get it running again ?
Scrap is way down I doubt it will bring him much across the scales ? Be a total shame if it did go to scrap and not at least parted out.
 
Honestly, I don't KNOW... but I s'pect you'd recoup $600 pretty fast, if nothing else the 3 point arms. They look sound, and they must be hard to find.
I don't need either but I'd jump on that quick like a bunny.

There's easily $600 in parts there. One note- it's a 430 instead of a 420. The main difference is the sheet metal. In fact, the 420 and 430 share a parts manual.

I would call that tractor a parts tractor or a donor tractor. The float ride seat is desirable.

Stuck transmission could be the shifter or a broken cluster gear (or something else).
 
are you in the partiong out business? Iffin you got bones and skeletons laying around, I think it would fit right in.

Also the owner has not checked on the scrap value or is shooting a little breeze on the value of scrap now a days.

A couple of grand, wow, maybe if it was all together and a runner ready for use.
 
You sell the float ride seat, center link if original and the wide front you've already made money on that deal
 

I'd love to have a float ride seat for my 430W, but I'm not aware of where to get replacement cushions...

I might as well add front weights and remote hydraulics to my wish list too.
