John Deere 440I Backhoe/Loader

[EaTmYtAiLpIpEs]

I am thinking about going and looking at a 1958 John Deere 440I. It has a bucket loader and backhoe attachment on it. I am not sure if it has a gas or diesel engine in it. I was just wondering If I go look at it what should I look for on this tractor. I knew the tires, lines, and how it runs. but it says it suns excellent. Any help I would be thankful for.

Hmm.. you might get some better feedback if you post this in the Construction forum.

Bound to be some old hand there that knows the difference between the front end and the back end of a 440I.

Best of luck with the old Iron!
