In 1950 when my dad bought his ZAU new it was $2300 with hydraulic. Bought it less than 10 miles from home, in a small town to boot.
 
I wish we could tell off of that price list what exactly was included for the given price. I know the earlier letter series Farmalls had starter, lights, belt, PTO, hydraulics, etc. as options.
 
My dad and uncle bought a new 1950 UTU with lights, PTO, double wheel weights and a 4 row cultivator with hydraulic lift and they said it cost $2800. We still have it too.
 
According to http://stats.areppim.com/calc/calc_usdlrxdeflator.php $1in 1951 is $7.51 today so our UTS was $18,000 plus.
 
The information is there. It's just different for each model. Too much to try to retype here.
 
My dad had the same setup. Bought it used in the late fifties in Kankakee, IL and traded it in 1970 for a JD 730D and a four row front mount cultivator in Valparaiso, IN. The JD cultivator was traded sveral years later for a three point four row danish tyne cultivator which is still here but converted to a six row, 30" cultivator. Still gets used every few years or so. Always been shedded. Always wanted to know where the U went but could never find out. Would love to have it back. Always looking in my travels but so far, no luck. Probably been to China and back.
