This 1959 John Deere 430U tractor is one of approximately 1,340 examples produced and was cosmetically refurbished prior to the seller’s acquisition in 2024. It is finished in green and yellow, and power is provided by a gasoline-fueled 1.9-liter twin paired with a five-speed manual transmission. The tractor is equipped with power steering as well as a screen-style grille, headlights, a rear work light, rear half fenders, yellow seat cushions, a hydraulically lifted hitch assembly, and a rear power take-off. This 430U is now offered at no reserve in Idaho with a bill of sale.

The John Deere 430-series tractor was manufactured from 1958 through 1960 in several configurations. The body and running gear of this utility model were repainted green with yellow accents under previous ownership. Details include a screen-style grille, headlights, a black exhaust stack, a side step, rear half fenders, a rear work light, and John Deere badging.

Yellow steel wheels wear 6.00-16″ Goodyear front and 13.6-26″ rear Firestone Traction Field and Road tires, and the tractor is equipped with power steering.

The operator’s station houses a green steel seat with yellow-trimmed cushions. Controls include a hand throttle, a clutch lever, and twin pedals for the individual rear brakes. The shift lever is mounted on top of the transmission case.

The three-spoke steering wheel sits ahead of a black dash panel that houses gauges for amperage, water temperature, and oil pressure in addition to a combination speedometer, tachometer, and hour meter that shows 3,800 hours of runtime.

The gasoline-fueled 1.9-liter twin sends power to the rear wheels through a five-speed manual transmission. The fuel system was cleaned in December 2024.

The tractor is equipped with a hydraulically lifted hitch assembly and a rear power take-off shaft.
