My cousin, 20 years my senior, witnessed our grandfather write out a check for the new AC WD(circa 1950) I think it was $1700. Wide front. In the spring of 1966, as I turned 11 years old, the new JD 2510 showed up. WOW. Didn't think the same company that made the 50 could make that! Fast forward a few decades. All that's left of the multi-generational home farm is a trailer on 1.5 acres. And a few pieces of machinery. MY cousin was able finally to buy the WD(which I had restored back in the 80's) for about what it cost new. A friend bought the 2510 for me(with my money) I think for about what Dad paid for it. These tractors had always been at the same farm, housed and well cared for. A couple years of setting out really took it's toll. The 2510 showed up with a wide front. Dad had insisted on narrow, for his drive in cultivator and bean puller. They came out later in the spring and put on the roll-o-matic. I put a wide front back under it. New seat, and rewired it. As usual, with any old tractor I buy, I'm upside down with it.
