1978 John Deere 4440

My Grandfather bought this tractor new in 1978. The meter operates and currently has 8535 hours on it. He sold all of his equipment 15 years ago and sublet the farming out to another local farmer. This tractor was kept for brush hogging purposes. Using the letter grade system here is the current condition of tractor. Front tires were replaced 3 years ago = A, Rear Tires are slick = C-, Loader works good but is operated by 3 PTO = C, There is intermittent leak in rear PTO = C, Engine has no major leaks of fluids = B, Cab interior is a C-, Paint on tins is decent rust on hood = C, Cab AC works = A, Radio works = A, All modes and ranges on transmission works as they should = A, Engine starts every time = A. From what I gathered from my Aunt the motor had some repairs done around the 7000 hour mark but she can't remember exactly what was done. We are pricing the Tractor, Brush Hog and Loader as one unit for $29,990.00. If you are interested in separating out the items for individual purchase we are open to as well. If you are wanting to see all the items we will be happy to show with appointment and a video is available to review at c4auto.com.
