January/February 2017 Antique Power Available
/The January/February 2017 issue of Antique Power magazine is available on newsstands and should be in subscriber mailboxes soon. Our cover tractor is a 1960 John Deere 430 with optional power adjust rear wheels. I enjoyed getting to visit with owner Cleveland Carter during the photo shoot.
The John Deere 430 was the last of the 2-cylinder John Deere tractors built at the plant in Dubuque, Iowa. The versatile 430 line of tractors traces its lineage back to the Model M, introduced in 1947. With the Model M's compact size, vertical 2-cylinder engine, and foot clutch, it was a complete departure from the famous tractors from John Deere's Waterloo Tractor Works.
