    4430 decals

    I am looking for original type hood decals for a 74 4430. Does anyone know if jd decals are the aluminum backed ones like original. I looked at parts info for r63411 ( believe that's part number) and no info on material. Has anyone found the original decals. Thanks for any info.

    I was looking at a 4430 that had the syncro range trans. As far as value is concerned, does the syncro add, subtract, or stay same as the other transmissions. Just curious. Thanks for your info. Ken

    4450 shift question

    A neighbor has a 4450 with 12,000 hrs but well cared for tractor. Row crop work only. The problem is the powershift trans will change gears on its own in either forward or reverse. Cab mounts don't seem to be bad. I'd appreciate ideas on what to check. Thanks in advance for you help. Ken

    Hi again, I am enclosing pictures of the two steering valves. The black one is from the cab that came with tractor (burned cab). It has only four ports. In one picture I’m pointing to the area where the green valve has the fifth port. Both valves are from cabs with the small seat bucket...
