  • I have one of these. It is pretty rough but works good. I know that they bring good money at auction. I would sell it if I got the right price. I like this machine but like all old machines it taks a lot of attention.

  • WOW!!!What a beauty. I have never seen one of those.I am 12 and I got my first J.D. 420U. It has been running very well lately but it has a problem with the starter. Every once in awhile the starter gets stuck but is no problem fixing it. Could you tell me what is wrong with it?

I also have a dealer technical manual hard cover covering the 420 and 430 line..
