Went and drove a JD 420W near me this evening, can get it
for $2500 but the lift is weak will only raise with no implement
attached. Never tore in to a JD lift, what could be the
problem? It?s a great looking tractor that runs good, no smoke,
great tires...

I think it is a 430, but the same tractor except sheet metal. Could be a weak pump. Could be the lift piston, ut I have not seen one that bad.
 
If it was me I would drain the oil and refill it with 30wt non detergent. Probably work fine then. You should have brought it home before they changed their mind.
 
They guy is distantly related to me and took the ?for sale? sign off of it today as I told him I?d call him back tomorrow evening and tell him one way or the other if I wanted it or not as I would be researching probable causes of why the lift had a problem before I made a decision, thanks. Oil change would be an easy fix
 
That would look great setting beside my 630 dad bought new in 60. You better bring it home
 
It?s a five speed alright but didn?t thats about all I can say at this time, other than driving it around today is all that I did while looking at it, I have a 420W and was mainly comparing this 430W to the 420W I already have. This is the first 430 I?ve ever seen in my area, lots of MT?s, 40?s and 420?s around here...
