400 LP - Worth buying?

Posted by Nathan in Texas on March 30, 2005 at 07:15:21 from (216.167.183.158):

Well, I'm very happy with my M that I bought all of 3 weeks ago. It runs on gas and has been an awesome tractor so far. Since I bought it I have been noticing several old tractors sitting around that have probably been there for many years but I've never noticed them before.

One is 2 miles from my house and is a 400 LP. It's not in the best shape and I found out who owned it and the guy wants $1,200 for it. Says it runs but there is no battery and it hasn't moved in at least a year. Not really rusted very bad, mostly just faded out but has some hydraulic oil leaks and some chunks cut out of the hood.

I took some pics of it:

I'm really not an LP fan so I don't think I would want to keep it. What I was wondering about is what parts off of this would fit my M? Could I swap out the front end and if so would it be a bolt on or take other modifications? Is a 400 a better tractor than my M and I should think about upgrading? My M is in good shape and has an aftermarket 3 pt hitch on it.

Oh well, anyone else looking for a 400 LP that wants it I'll work something out for you.

Thanks for any advice. Nathan
