Looking for an Older JD Pedal Tractor

A friend of mine would like to find an older JD pedal tractor for his little girl. The way it sounds he is looking for like a JD 20 or something to that affect but he said model isnt really a big issue. I told him I would do some diggin and though this would be a good place to start. Anybody have one they want to part with? Hes looking to spend around $150 and I told him that would be a long shot on an older pedal but cant hurt to ask right.
 
I have my original 130 with wagon with fenders, no interest in selling, going to restore it for my grandchildren.

I do not know the vintage of the 20.
 
David,

The 20 would be the pedal tractors representing the 3020/4020 series. The first new generation ones (in 1960-1963 or 4) were 10 series . The 10 series were the next ones after your 130.
 
oliverkid, I was at Dyersville at the National Farm Toy show last weekend. I saw several 10-20 series JD pedal tractors there. Like David G said, he may have to up his $ limit. Watch craigslist, you may get lucky. He will probably have better luck at that price finding a 30-55 series, "model 520" is stamped on the side of those.

Good luck with that kind of budget. You could get a plastic one or a maybe repro for that, but vintage onese are collectible and bring good money, even if they need a bunch of work. The cost of pedal parts can add up really quick too. Here's a 20 that I did for my daughter last year. Not including my labor, just tractor, parts, and paint, I'm certain I had well over 500 bux in it.

I was given a 520 series two years ago that I redid for my daughter. It was in fairly good shape. I decided to have it powder coated instead of painted to take some abuse. When all was said and done I had put close to $500 in it. I have seen them on craigslist in my area for $100-$150 but in poor shape (520 series that is).
