John Deere 730, the third brother

This John Deere 730 gas tractor was bought in eastern Montana off of an on-line auction. My son transported it back to eastern North Dakota where the hard work began! As you can see it had not had an easy previous life, but had potential with some TLC.  

With the help of some new parts, decals etc from Steiner Tractor Parts, and some hard work, it has been returned to its earlier glory. Now it has joined its 2-cylinder John Deere brothers; a John Deere 630 and John Deere 720D as members of our family. It still gets out and let’s it’s owners play in the dirt occasionally as well as do some parade duty.
