The 40 variants included the 40S standard, utility, high-crop, 2-row utility, and a crawler model (the 40C). The 40C and the utility were used as industrial models, although there was no official John Deere designation for 40 industrial models.

Just get your wife walk along side to hold a flaslight. ; ) Price is what you value it at. I just paid paid $1800 for a AC Mod. B with a plow and Draw Bar. Get yourself a MANUAL, after you buy it, I know your going to. : ) I'm just getting started with Old Tractors. But it looks like repair kits for ACs are a tad Cheaper. Good Luck with what ever you get GARY.
