Price Check Ford 4630 or 3930

If I get this 4630 one of the first things I'll need is a hay spear. Can anyone give me a recommendation on a quick attach setup. Is that the route I should take?
This started a new page, make sure to look at the pics I posted prior.

This is the lower left rear mount for the loader and the right. Very slight deformation of the metal where the loader met the pin (slight mushrooming). Didn't look bad to me.

The next pics are on the forward bracket of the loader. There's a bolt missing on both sides, and these two plates would shift under load about 5 degrees, from being misaligned up to misaligned down.

Replace the missing hardware, torque all existing hardware, done.

Out of curiosity, what is this rod for that enters the rear axle case on the front left side? That's the foot board just forward of it.

There's an identical one on the right. They are brake operating rods.

These hoses seem overly long. Is there a better solution?

They need to be that long so you can use the hydraulics to remove & install the loader. There can be better placement and securing of the 'excess', but if you want to retain the ability to easily remove the loader, there's not much else that can be done.

Data Plate inside the hood. It has Blue fenders


Oil on Turbo to intake hoses

Build date is September 5, 1995. Oil on the intake tube is fairly common and probably not a great concern.

I just saw an Ebay post for a Ford 4430 4WD w/cab. Haven't seen many 4430s, nothing on them on Tractordata.com. Was this not a very common tractor, or for a special purpose?

The Ford 4430 is a narrow orchard tractor. 100% pure Fiat design and built with absolutely nothing in common with a 4630 other than the shade of blue.

I have nose hairs that bother me more than that.

I am going to have to stop drinking while I read these posts.. I narrowly avoided spewing iced tea thru the nose when i hit this one!

I am betting this tractor will not set on the dealers lot very long. Ken Sweet
