f150, I join the others in welcoming you. I had a John Deere 730 gasoline tractor that I started to restore when some transmission repairs scared me into selling it. I learned later that is was a simple fix. When I see what some of the restored two cylinder tractors are selling for I wish I had kept the 730.

I nice 730, gas or diesel, with fresh paint and new tires stands in line with the 4010-4020 as the most striking tractors Deere ever produced. Oh sure, the hand clutch had the operator wishing for an extra arm once in a while, but for a classic tractor of the era, the 730 stands at the top.

How about recruiting some young whipper snapper to help you post a picture or two here. Once you spend some more time on TBN you realize we drool over pictures.

Here's our JD 730 gas. It is a striking tractor with all that yellow paint. Without a doubt like you said "a classic".

Thanks for the Welcome everyone. I'm on the south side of 65 but the
north side of 64. I do have a couple pictures of my 730 buried on the
computer some place if I can get time for my wife to find them.
I learned how to drive and do field work on a styled 39 B and then
my dad bought a 52 B then also added a 50 later on (along with a
B Farmall) and then still later on in my young life he traded for a U302
Moline which was a nice tractor I thought also. Always wanted a 30 series
and many-many years later I finally got me one. I will do my best to locate
the pictures. Thanks again. f150
