It always starts out innocent .I told my wife I'm not buying any more tractors till I get that 300 round nose done . Well yesterday I went to look at what I was told was a 300 B for parts you know for the round nose . Well after going to look at a tractor that I looked over a few years before , I found out it was a 430 or 530 not sure yet . I know I should have kept on looking for what I needed , but no I had to bring it home.
After I got it home one flat on the trailer 100 feet from the house

Sounds familiar. I brought home a C and VAC once and the wife claimed them both! guess it gives me a reason to buy more!

 

[CKRichard]

You don't understand the 300 is hers she bought it . It getting an engine over haul and and is torn apart now . I found this 430 when I was looking for parts for the 300 round nose.

Cool deal, I like those 'combination' purchases. A fellow can't have too many tractors....

 

[caseman]

So whats your plans? are you going keep them ? what about the loader what motor does it have and whats your plans for it ?

 

[CKRichard]

After a little oil on the valve train and a little here and there new wires points and cap . Took the tank off pretty clean . Took the carb part clean too . Any way she fired up and runs great. Needs a water pump . Haven't even messed with the uni loader yet I know it needs a fuel pump , it's diesel . My plan was to swap engines and keep the tractor. I'm going to fix up the uni loader if it's not to bad use it around the house till I get tired of it then sale . The tractor is a keeper you know me I'm a buyer don't get rid of much
