John Deere L&G 430
Model Year: 1991
I am the 3rd owner of this tractor. The person I purchased it from had done a partial restore with new paint and some parts being replaced. The owner prior to him was a hospital that used it for grounds upkeep and snow blowing. I currently use it for gardening which I use a plow, disk, cultivators, row hippers etc. I also use it with a 4'box blade for landscape work and gravel drive maintenance. I also use it to mow about an acre. Other than normal maintenance I have had to replace the front pto pully and belts, and replace fuel lines in the tank. I am currently preparing to go through the front end and steering linkages. I am very happy with this tractor. It does everything I need it to do.
Pros: A lawn and garden tractor heavy enough to do real work!
Cons: Parts are getting hard to find, even from the dealer. Only 2000 rpm PTO attachments.
