I used to have one (Serial # 435006) and it was a great little tractor. It was also my first tractor.My only complaint was it was hard to start if the temperature got below 40F even with a dipstick heater. The GM 2-53 was easy on fuel and it was a pretty heavy machine and did all I asked of it. I bought it in 1985 for $2200 and sold it in 1991 for $3200 and all I did to it was replace the oil pressure switch that allowed the hour meter to work and change the oil and filter every 50 hrs. They're a relaltively rare tractor.I believe only about 4000 were built in 1959 and 1960. The Tractor Blue Book lists a high retail price of $4840 for a 1960 model and $4610 for a 1959 model but there 's a lot of variation about these average prices based on the condition and the rarity factor. As far as a working machine is concerned, I think a MF 35D is a better value for the dollar. There is no doubt that the JD 435D would be a prize for a collector because of it's use of the GM 2-53 and it's rarity. Just my two cents.
