John Deere 3030 Tractor Parts

The John Deere 3030 tractor was introduced in 1973 as part of the '30 Series' line, replacing earlier models and offering improved performance and features. Production continued through 1977. The tractor is powered by a John Deere 4.5L (276 cu in) 4-cylinder diesel engine, producing approximately 76 engine horsepower. The engine's displacement contributes to its strong low-end torque, which is crucial for demanding agricultural tasks. A gasoline engine option was also available. The standard transmission was an 8-speed forward, 4-speed reverse gear transmission, providing a range of speeds for various operations. The independent PTO delivered 67 horsepower at 540 RPM. Hydraulic capacity was rated at around 17 GPM, with typically two remote valves available for implement control. The 3-point hitch was a Category II, allowing for the use of a wide array of implements. The 3030 was commonly used for row crop work, hay production, livestock operations, and general tillage tasks. Compared to smaller models, the 3030 offered more power and hydraulic capacity, while being more compact and fuel efficient than larger frame tractors of the era.
