If I might point out one little thing---CUSTOM POWRTROL: is what is found on a 520. If your tractor HAS got CUSTOM POWRTROL, the rockshaft will be round cross section, with splines on it, like those on a pto shaft. If it has the correct, JOHN DEERE HYDRAULIC POWRTROL (Not CUSTOM) it will have a SQUARE cross section rockshaft. Also, with the CUSTOM POWRTROL, you can use BOTH the rockshaft (3point) AND the hydraulic cylinder at the same time---with regular HYRAULIC POWRTROL you can use one or the other but never both at the same time. A 50 was made between 1952 and 1956. That makes in 46 to 50 years old. The only way to be sure that the tractor was NEVER repainted would be for the owner to be the original purchaser. That would make you at least in your 70s and the possibility of being sure that it was never repainted would be something I would question in court! Deere did a LOT of substitutions in it's decal sets, 40 years ago. I happen to have a NOS JOHN DEERE FACTORY replacement decal kit for a styled "A" and IT contains the wrong decals. Check the decals shown in an original parts book. THEY do not say CUSTOM POWRTROL, and I can say that for a fact, I have an original dealer edition of PC-675 (John Deere styled A, AR and AO) and IT doesn't show incorrect decals, yet the replacemnt kit, mentioned prev. DOES contain them. What I am saying is this:A "50" was never equiped with CUSTOM POWRTROL and you can put whatever you like on it. Paint it purple and pink for all I care, but don't expect people who know, to actually believe that the CUSTOM sticker is "original" because it isn't! :) :)
