3010 is it rare?

Many of the tractors of the South also didn't have differential locks on them when the differential lock was introduced.

1000 1961
19416 1962
32400 1963

Don't know the care nor condition. Could bring $7 to 8k if really sharp and mech perf.....easily $5 to 6.

As far as rarity, if they only built them 3 yrs like my 4010, then you might call that rare....but my 10's S/N is in the 200k region so that's not very rare.

I look at the steering and pedals. When I see cast steel clutch pedals with 1/4 inch of steel missing then look at the hour meter and it says 6000 hours I wonder. So now I know that there is such a thing as a 35,000 hour tractor and it may not be that much of a rareity.

Now on your 50 hp gasser I'll tend to agree. Seems that the big diesels got to do all the heavy field work and the smaller hp gassers, the errands.....but not always, and 40 years has a lot of potential operating hours in it (350,400 to be exact).

Since the tractor was in your family you know (just as the 35,000 family knew) it is only 2800. If I walked up to it, I could tell it too. Can't do that when you're trying to decide between 16,000 and 26,000 hours.

The hours I mentioned were total hours in 40 years (40x365x24). Reason for mentioning it is when you see a 40 year old tractor with 6000 hours on the hour meter, you'd like to think that that's all that's on the tractor. But usually it is as I mentioned..... ..notice I said usually..... .apparently you are not the norm. And since it was yours you ought to know if anyone does, right. And I know you (???) so I know you are a man of your word, right! Great.

Don't know when people might be using a tractor that is 40 years old. Some people hook them up to an irrigation pump and run them long periods of time and only shut them down to change the oil. Hard to judge the pedals and steering on that.

The tractor to which I was referring was around a JD 44xx series with cab and air. Was on this site in photo ads sitting in front of a very nice, very large barn, on what appeared to a very nice farm. I was really surprised that they (appeared to) accurately reflect the actual hours being that large a number. I was also surprised at the price. Don't remember it but it was in the $20k area which I thought was high for that many hours....course it looked good.....from here.
