Western Iowa | Got to looking at some older pics on my computer trying to find a pic for an ad on the classifieds and ran across one of my 4430 projects.
I know there are guys that do a lot better but I am not ashamed of my work. I am hoping over this winter to do a 4255 PS similar with some extra pep in the engine for the county fairs!

Between Omaha and Des Moines, 7 miles South of I80 | That's a "Garvo planting tractor", right there.
Very nice. |
|

|
North West IA/western AZ | Sharp!
Is there a headphone jack on that little radio? |
|
| |
|
just a tish NE of central ND | Very nice! |
|
| |
|
SE Nebraska | What all does it take to add the front lights? What model do the parts come from? Looks Great. |
|
| |
|
Western Iowa | I was thinking there was, but I just checked the specs of that radio online and it has a headphone jack.
They are a good little radio. My bobcat had one and I thought it would work well on the 4430 at the time. I would use the radio again, but would change the speakers on the rollbar to a different type.
Bobcat dealer in Sioux City keeps the complete kits on hand. |

Western Iowa | The lights are pretty simple, just a nose cone off a 55 series like a 4455, then just run a wire up to them. The nose cone just screws onto the hood in case you never have done one.....
Deere used to sell them as a kit for the older tractors, but I haven't purchased one in several years so I am not sure you can still get it. |
|
| |
|
Iowa | no need to buy a 55 series hood nose. just cut the original one and put the 55 series lights in it. also on that little radio does in need a separate amp? |
|
| |
|
Western Iowa | Been a long long time ago but I remember trying to cut out the old nose cone but attaching the light bezels didn't seem to work right.... am I remembering wrong?
I don't know what you mean by separate amp for the radio? |
|
| |
|
N IL | I absolutely love the tractor but you lost me at the 55 series headlights.........just don't look quite right on a 30 series lol |
|
| |
|
Iowa | I guess I never had a problem attaching the bezels. I do know that stupid nut for lifting the fuel tank is in the way.
When I said separate amp I meant amplifier. In my skid steer it has a little radio similar to that one but it has a amplifier box mounted elsewhere. Problem is you can barely hear the radio.. so I wondered if my amp was bad or if I can get rid of it and buy a little radio like that and run it right to the speakers |

Waldron, MI | No reason to be ashamed of that. You did an excellent job! Looks great |
|
| |
|
Western Iowa | That little Jensen radio seems to have plenty of power, but it does depend some on the speakers you use. There is no separate amp for it. |
|
| |
|
Central Nebraska | That looks awesome. I'd love to have something like that for a mowing/auger/blading/messing around tractor. |
|
| |
|
SW MN | I was thinking of doing the same radio for my 3020 and mounting the speakers to the roll bar. What would you do different? I thought about just using the headphone jack and using the headphones for hearing protection. Looks great! |

WC Iowa | You'll need to bring the 4255 to Sac next year. Where did the 4430 go? Here's "Eleanor" before the Sac pull.

Western Iowa | I plan on coming over to sac next year, got a bet going on over there!! The 4255 is a 15sp powershift, but I am not sure how far I can push the engine and not fry the tranny.
That 4430 in the pictures is about 2 miles from here. Some neighbors bought it off the east coast and got taken a bit on the condition. The big one is somehow on the truck ride here the low range went out of the trans..... how weird!
I did another 4430 just like it a few years before when I was just learning to paint, it is also still in the neighborhood, but time has faded the paint......... I hope to learn how to clear coat on the 4255. |
