I just bought my first JD 2-lunger, a 1956 model 520 at an auction here is SD. It belonged to my grandfathers brother, and he had bought it new, so other than his daughter and son-in-law who inherited it, I am the second person to purchase this tractor. Everything on it is original, (down to the tires), and it is in excellent shape. Has never sat outside that anyone can remember. my question to anyone is this: What is this tractor actually worth? I have been told that I practically stole it, but if you ask my wife, she thinks a little differently. I paid $2800. It has 4500 hours, all gauges work, lites work, etc. Was below zero the day of the sale, and it fired right off. Any thoughts??? Thanks in advance...A year and a half ago, I bought a 1938 Mccormick Deering W-30 bought new by my grandfather, so now I have two old second owned tractors with a fair number of years behind them. Was thinking I should start a web page and post some pictures, if anyone was interested...

I just bought a 520 this past yr ,got it for 2000$.Not bad for PA .I did however have to put a set of manifolds on it and a few other items. I guess it depends on two things,how bad they want to sell,and how bad you want to buy. It;s the game we play. If you want to take alook at it go back 3 or 4 pages on the picture forum . have a great time with your 520

If you got it on a auction there were plenty of others who could have "stole" it. It probably would have bought a little more in Wisc but sounds reasonable for ND. It would have been a steal if it was a 530

I would pay 5K for the tractor, if it came from family I would pay whatever it would take. You made a very good deal.

the 520's will generally go from $3500-4500 depending on condition.
