The John Deere Model 420/430 crawler tracked tractor was a two-cylinder engine produced by John Deere from 1947 to 1952, with successor models produced until 1940.

The John Deere 420 was the direct follow-on to the 40, covering the higher end of the range. Changes from the 40 to the 420 were minimal, but productivity increased by 20% with a larger bore, higher compression and an improved carburettor. The 420 was rated for two ploughs.

The John Deere 430 was an ergonomically-improved version of the 420, introduced in 1958. Production ended in 1960, when the John Deere 1010 was introduced to replace it, with a new four-cylinder engine.


Model Description
This is a model that disappoints me. This model is produced by Ertl, which is a major maker of tractors and other models. Ertl operates with several versions of some models, Basic and Premium. I have found that while the main parts of both models are the same, premium models are given more detail and smaller details are more highlighted. Of course, all this equates to a higher retail price. But what should be noted here is that while a premium model has that extra detail, on this model, those parts can cause this model to be not representative of that tractor.
