430 listed on E-bay as a 470

Item no 150413291900 is a Late 430 listed as a 470. The 70 series never had an Eagle on the hood or any place else that could be seen. And they did not have generators, they had a bump on side panel for an alternator. Do you see anything else?

The engine oil filter has the adapter turned down for the power steering pump to fit. I think all 470 would have had the oil filter at the front of block.

Did the later 430's have taller tin like the 530's/570's?

without serial number its hard to tell for sure.

For sure not a 470 or a late model 430.
Mid production 430 I'd say.
One of the last with 12 speed and first of the draft-o-matics.
The giveaway is the horizontal hand clutch lever instead of a vertical lever.
This tractor also has a live pto instead of an independent because of the hand clutch 12 speed.
Front axle has been abused along with grill screens and tins. Utility model with flange axles but it does have power shift wheels to compensate.
Earlier Utilitys had a solid front axle but this has the newer hydrostatic steering unless it was added later in life.
Most 430 Utilitys had a lowered front axle. This one does not. Hmmm ???

The 430 replaced the 300. This one is a row crop or General Purpose. It is not uncommon to see the 'modified' front axle on these if they had a loader on them.

Not to split hairs but the 430 replaced the 200B.
The 530 replaced the 300/400B.
The 630 replaced the 500/600B.
This 430 your looking at has flanged rear axles instead of an adjustable bar axle making it a Utility.
My comment on the front axle might be confusing as I only meant that most mid to late 430 utilitys that I've seen had the low profile front axle. Still adjustable mind you, just more common on 530 Utilitys to have the higher axle.
Maybe it makes sense to have the higher front axle on this 430 since it also has adjustable rims on the back for different row settings.
Again, the early Utilitys had a solid front axle, non-adjustable, so its not an early model 430 that your looking at based on that fact alone, yet not a late model either. It still has 12 speed hand clutch but has draft-o-matic instead of eagle hitch which is an in between model of the mid 60s.
