I have both for sale. 430 U's W's and a 420 W that was original all fuel, good paint, newer tires starts and runs good. 430 U has reverser and power steering and a CJ code for yellow paint. Or a just plane 430 W with no paint but runs like a sewing machine. 430 U has had a recent overhaul. All are located by Sioux Falls, SD.

For pulling . My grandson is 11 and just started. He has a hard time with a hand clutch when backing up to the sled. 420-430s have a foot clutch . He does fine forward just not looking back his arms are a little short right now. And we can fill more of the day with a light and heavy tractor Thanks.

Either you will likely be happy with if you want it quieter I believe 430 muffler fits on both I wouldn’t have to have a 430. Both should have 3 point.

I’d pick the tricycle version myself but to each his own
