I wasn't going to waste everyone's time with the details, but since you 
asked:

The 430 CK (Construction King) has a three point hitch (but there is a 
seal in the lift cylinder that leaks and needs to be replaced). It also 
has an independent PTO (although I have never tried to use it, nor, from 
what I know of the PO has anyone else in the last 20 years). It is a 4 
cylinder gas engine, 12 volt negative ground, 4 speed trans with shuttle 
shift, power steering, Sims cab (with working lights and wiper, but no 
side curtains), hand + foot throttle, and working instruments. The 
loader is very strong and will lift anything you can put in the bucket, 
but the tractor needs about 1000 lbs of counterweight to give it any 
kind of traction. I have a "carryall" on the hitch with an old office 
safe chained to it, but I suspect that something better could be worked 
out using a concrete filled drum or a regular weight box, etc. The front 
tires are essentially brand new HD truck tires, but the rears are 
"construction/backhoe" lugs that are about 50%, but no liquid ballast 
nor checks/cracks. I should also note that the exhaust manifold is due 
for replacement as it has a hole that I patched with epoxy, and the 
muffler is shot. I also have a complete set of owner, service, and parts 
manuals (almost $200!).

if anyone is really interested.
