A friend of mine contact me about buying a 4430 power shift they had,
it was tore apart and never re assembled. When I went to look at it.
it was in far worse shape than I expected. But it had a spare
transmission next to it and power shift clutch pack assy.(shipping
label was from Worthington Ag) the current transmission that was in
the tractor had a PTO ripped out and you could see bearing material
on the bottom of the case. They said a couple people tried to fix it
over the years but kept having trans issues. So they were going to
just replace the entire trans and PTO. Shortly after disabling it the
owner died. It has been Sitting for over 10 yrs. The cement floor in
the building has reaked havoc on The Tractors Paint, compoents, cab
Interior (mice) it's pretty far gone.
So my question is. Is it worth anything more than scrap at this point
. Everything is telling me to stay away from it. But it would be nice
to have a spare 404 engine assuming it's not locked up from sitting.
To get the tractor field ready I would think it would take more money
than its worth. So I'm trying to figure out what would be fair to
offer him. Or just steer clear and put my money towards a running
machine. Any help.is much appreciated..
