This isn't a JD 520, it's more like a 4430. He didn't think they offered them more than a year or two. He bought it new maybe 20-25 years ago, he thought. I was just wondering if anyone had any information on this? Thanks. [Reply]   [No Email]

With this pedal the value is with the box because that is the only way to prove it is a factory yellow pedal tractor. Ive seen one on ebay with the box that went for $900 4 months ago. and I've seen some claimed to be original ones with no boxes go for $450.   [Reply]  [No Email]

That's just the Model that Ertl put on it. That casting was used to represent 4430, 4440 and 4450...only differences were in the decal on the side of the hood. The industrial yellow version was made for a couple of years, starting in 1990, I think. New in Box price is around $700. Of course, that's only if you're trying to buy...when you're trying to sell, the price is always lower. I have some scanned pictures of the ag version showing the decal differences....can e-mail them if you're interested. Stan   [Reply]  [No Email]
