John Deer 1030

[jm.]

This guy has call me 4 times wanting to know what I will give for this tractor..What do you guys think:
John Deer 1976 1030, mechanical 4 wheel drive,new injectors, new seat,new starter, rebuilt water pump but then here is the kicker swears the tractor only has 316 original hours.. So why would it only have 350 hrs after 46 years , I just do not believe him and have not went to looks.Anyone have any thoughts

have him send pics of the pedals and look for paint still on, limited polished to metal areas. Not new rustoleum. Jim

Check wear on clutch pedal, steering linkage especially bellcrank located under front center of tractor frrt axle support, drawbar & 3 pt draft link balls. Not that's it's that detrimental but you do realize 1030 was not built for sales in the USA IE it had to be imported
