1959 420

Post by milkie62 » Sun Nov 27, 2022 9:20 am

found a 1959 420 for sale that supposedly has been rebuilt undercarriage. I only want one for a toy in the woods. Have a 450c. Would like a gas model now to just push small brush piles, maybe level out ruts from the tractor and get into softer spots for getting out firewood. Not really gonna work it. Is the 420 desirable ? Can a winch be put on these ? And how are parts availability for engine ? I would like to keep it undercover and hand it down for next generation of playing. Thanks

Parts availability in general is good, engine main bearings are an issue right now, but that will resolve itself eventually.
Yes, winch can be added.
