Hey Travis, beautiful 730 propane your grandpa has there! Great pics!

Last couple years I’ve seen JD 730 propanes sold at auction anywhere from $1,400 on low side up to $5,775 on the collector side. Here’s a pic of the ‘59 model sold for $5,775 on Mecum Gone Farmin’ collector auction 11/8/19 in Davenport, IA.

Mecum also sold this '59 JD 730 propane on 3/30/19 collector auction in Davenport, IA for $4,988.

Saw another JD 730 propane sold for $3,600 on central Indiana auction and another '59 model 730 propane for $4,500 on collector auction back in Iowa. Lowest price of $1,400 was on a collector auction in Colorado but in just “Fair” condition.

Hope this data helps a bit Travis!

Thanks for the quick response  
So you say it’s a JD 730.  
What year do you think it is?  
Also does it make a difference in those other ones that sold that have two wheels in front compared to the single.  
Any information you can provided me by looking at the pictures I would really really appreciate it  
Thanks
