I rebuilt the engine on a 2520 a little over a year ago for a guy. I got a call from him last night and would like to offer the tractor back to me for the $1500 he still owes me for rebuild. This may be a good deal I'm not sure as he recently got water in the fuel and seized the injection pump, I'm sure the nozzles are ruined as well. I'm going to take the tractor as I'm sure I'll never see the $1500. The question is should I just over haul the fuel system and sell the tractor? What would it be worth? It's a sharp tractor that is in great mechanical(except fuel system) and phsyical shape. I could also keep the tractor if I could get about 75-80hp out of it with a turbo. A 60hp tractor dosn't do alot on my farm anymore. Any body ever turboed a 2520? I know there was a recent artical in Green Magazine about a turboed 2520 I just can't seem to find it.

What is the serial number of this 2520? I am trying to collect one for each model year. I am also looking for sister tractors for my two 2520's, 1969 and 1970. The value of that tractor will vary with hours, diesel or gas, wide front or narrow, synchro or Power Shift. Diesel Power Shifts run in the $15K to $22K range, especially in a late model 2520. A synchro will be about half that range. Again, I would appreciate knowing serial number. Paul

Those are in demand all right and don't see how you could go wrong spending some to fix it right and still get more than your money back. Nice all around chore tractors and for small shredders and great for cultivating because you can see what's going on. I suppose you're too far from me too?

I had to go down to the local Deere dealership this morning to pick up the engine kit for my 4020. I talked to a friend of mine in sales about the 2520. He gave me a good idea what it was worth if I decided to sell it. They helped me move my 730 and 830 2cyl tractors when I wanted to sell them. I'm still not sure if I'm gonna sell it yet. I'm located in western NY and if I do sell it, it won't be ready till mid January as I want to get my 4020 done first.

Get it back for sure ! Fix it back up right. Then you should have no problem selling it and then take the money and buy a bigger tractor.Those are in demand.
