I mow with this on the farm every week! Its all original, my grandfather bought it brand new from the John Deere dealer up in Westminster back in 1986. It still has the big, old, black box radio on the fender that came with it. I remember when I was a little kid, my legs were just barely long enough to reach the brake pedals and my dad said "Alright! You're big enough now! You're mowing the grass from now on!" and I have ever since. I love, love, LOVE to hear the hum of that two cylinder engine, the whine of the hydro and the buzz of the mower deck. As long as you take care of it, keep it serviced RELIGIOUSLY and dont beat the hell out of it... it will be the best John Deere you could ever own and operate!! Seriously!! The new stuff today doesnt even compare to this!! My grandfather bought a 455 back around 1997-1998 and while it has a strong engine, everything else plastic is falling apart and has quit working. I can't tell you how many times I have pulled the 455 out of the mud after my grandmother got it stuck mowing too close to the spring by the pond.
I love an Onan. I had one on my 1990 Wheel Horse 520H. I gave the tractor away this spring due to electrical issues. (Tractor, not engine.) The guy got it working again. The Onan keeps on going. It's never had a problem in 24 years!!
I have one but had to do a few things, it's kinda long story I ended up with another engine a Honda gx670 that needs a few things. I ended up with a pair front blade and looking for a 3 point and plow. Great review on yours
I have the same tractor. My only complaint is that the seat does not come back far enough. I have modified it, but the fuel fill neck keeps me from going back more. I need to rig something up and relocate the fuel neck.
Nice looking mower. Do you still have it? I just landed my own 420 but needs a little TLC. Where can I find a mower deck for it, and what should I expect to pay for one?
hey man, nice unit. I just had a 420 made available to me for a decent price. I have a 316 now and may replace it with the 420. Is it a good reliable tractor? does it always start in the cold? tell me what you think. and you should make another video of yours, Its nice
Cooler needs cleaned and check the fan on the motor, costs a little steep at 3000 just that way. I've updated one with lots of things since I got it a while back. Sounds good running just add ictsin boost to about 93
Gator blades are another way to say mulching blades. They just chop up leaves and grass better. Why put high lift blades on a mower that will never have a bag. So gator blades are the best for this application.

Thanks for showing her. I passed on one a few months ago. They wanted way to much for it. Hope it works out well for you.

Sold it, marketplace or Craigslist. Probably $500
