Yup, I have an 8430 that looks just like that. It is good cheap horsepower and disks and field cultivates a good swath at a time. They aren't worth expensive repairs, though. When I have a big event with mine it will head on down the road. It's a shame because it's got a newer 50 series engine in it with very few hours. I only put 150 hours a year on it, so it will last a good many years.
JD Seller can probably give you an idea of what it is. It probably won't be good or cheap, though. I have the quad shift in mine and it has been just fine. It about rips your shoulder out of the socket to shift it. Everyone in three counties has had some miracle cure for that, but I still wrench my shoulders after all of their "fixes". She's a two handed shifter for sure.
Funny story - this one needed an engine. I had a dealership rebuild an engine and put it in. They gave me a year warranty. No joke, on the DAY BEFORE THAT YEAR WAS UP I was field cultivating with it and the engine blew. It was about 4:30. I got on the phone right then. The old boy at that dealership about threw a rod himself as he knew it was an hour from being no longer his problem. They honored it and it has never given any trouble. That was many years ago. Now it just eats an A/C compressor every other year. The cab is so nasty dusty with everything closed up that I can't imagine opening a window. I'll pay for those repairs. My sanity is worth it.

Today's Featured Article - What Oil Should I Use? - by Francis Robinson. I keep seein this question pop up over and over again in discussion groups all over the web. As with many things there are often several right answers and a few wrong ones. Some purist I'm sure will disagree to no end with what I will tell you but most of us out here in the real world don't really care do we ? Some of them only bring their noses down out of the air long enough to look down them anyway. If you are like me you are only doing this old tractor stuff because you enjoy it. You
