Re: Newbie to crawlers
Welcome to the Site.
I had a 430C and it was a great crawler. It had the wet clutch reverser (handle on the left side). If the one you look at has a reverser be sure you use the clutch with it, they are not "clutch less" reversers.
Lavoy, owner and provider of this site, works on and sells parts for vintage JD crawlers. He is a great source for parts and manuals. Because he works on them as well, he has good quality parts and the knowledge to help if you have problems.

Re: Newbie to crawlers
Just make shure the undercarriage is in good shape that is a big factor in value on these crawlers when you buy one
