I am a red man through and through, but I do have a special place in my heart for a couple of green ones. I have enjoyed every hour I have put on the JD 4440. They are an excellent tractor with the well known 466 engine. They are a great machine. They are old enough that the 466 is mechanical.
I still remember when we got our 1086. I thought we had gotten a Cadillac. It was such a step up from the 856 we had.

My model "H" even had the old style fronts with plenty of tread. My "L" fronts were mismatched Sears Guardsman snow tires, which I promptly tossed. Well, although these tires were in good shape as far as tread was concerned, they looked real sad. All were flat, but new tubes fixed that.
