picked up a 1959 jd 430w a few months ago , have not got into it yet, after cleaing it found it has doorman frezze plugs looks like stock paint on them i got the tractor from grand kids of a 95 year old farmer that had it, question is in 1959 would john deere use doorman freeze pluges , we are wonder if this tractor had been into before cause of these frezze plugs
 
It's 53 years old, it's not unreasonable to think that it might of been rebuilt at least once in that time. The only way you tell would be to tear it apart and check everything for size and look at all the components that might be date coded. If it runs well and appears to be in good health I wouldn't worry about it. Use it and enjoy it, if it starts acting strange trouble shoot it, if you don't know how to trouble shoot or what to check ask here- a lot of folks will tell you what to do, sometimes you'll get conflicting information (it's that opinion thing) and you'll get enough information to fix the problem or at least be a knowledgeable consumer should you elect hiring someone else to fix it.
 
i got it , it is locked up they said it set to long with the spark pluges out in a building
im trying to make it fit in the garage, to pull the engine
 
Try soaking the cylinders with your favorite mix first. I bought a 330 that sat in a barn for 15 years. Was stuck but after soaking for a couple of days, I rocked it back and forth in gear and it popped loose. Put new gas in and a fresh battery and it started right up. Smoke a little at first but it came out of that and runs just fine now. You never know, you might get lucky also.
