John Deere 400

Post by Doublet »

It has been about three years ago and I was out looking for Case tractors to buy. I came across this tractor and thought why not buy one of the green ones.

The guy I bought it from said he had brought it from his uncle, whom had bought it new. He said he tried to get it started but could not figure out the engine would not turn over. It has three point hitch and rear wheel weights.

After I got to working on it I decided I didn't like the color, so. Turned out there was not much wrong with it, other than broke starter housing. It is a a great tractor.

Short picture history of restore. And yes I still have it. Planning on turning it back green very soon. That is the color of money at least in the United States.
