Hey yall,

I'm new on here and I'm still feeling my way around the site so if this is in the wrong place then please move or do whatever you need to do... Tonight I am on my way to pick up a JD 400 for $700 that runs and drives and is in pretty good overall condition. From what I've seen this tractor was the top dog in its day and a bunch of new attachments were made for it, but I don't know where to look for them. Craigslist? I really only want a integral hitch (sleeve hitch) for it, but I'm not sure which one would fit a 400. Same as 300 series? Where could I find one? I'm used to 140's, 110's and 112's so I might be going a little big here..... Any info or comments would be great. Ill post pictures if I get around to it. Thanks in advance!

Here is the tractor I picked up for $700. Runs great. I tightened the bolt on the hydro lever because that was loose, other than that everything is awesome.

Guy bought it from a fellow John Deere worker but was only interested in the snowblower that came with it so he sold it at a good price because his wife wanted garage space :yahoo:

Okay guys I ran in to my first issue. Idk how I didn't notice it but the rear right axle housing has a broken ear and I was wondering how hard they are to swap out. There are plenty of replacements on eBay but I'm just wondering how tough they are to change. Any seals involved?

thanks!
