JD 4455, quad range, 2wd. We bought the tractor in 2016 or 2017. It was used to thrash pecan trees by previous owner. Before that it came from the Oklahoma area given the red dirt we have found and the stickers.
Sense purchasing it we have:
- replaced the clutch
- new rear main seal and housing
- new exhaust housing on turbo
- new AC compressor
- replaced a few steel hyd. lines
- rocker shaft seals
- fixed small rust areas on rear fenders
- painted the tractor and rims with automotive paint
- re-loomed all wiring around engine
- cab kit
- batteries
Tractor has around 7,000 hrs. Goodyear radial tires in decent shape, front tires are good, 2 sets of remotes, draw bar, top link. The tractor is honestly in very good shape, presents well, stays under a roof, engine burns clean and sounds fantastic just like any good running 55 series, hydraulics are good, tractor will pull the earth off its axis.
Any idea the value of this tractor? I'm fairly up to date and know what a honest and good clean iron series brings for value. We are undecided on selling or keeping it. Seems these tractors are almost appreciating faster than gold, honestly.
