Ya, operator comfort is really something to think about on those JDs.... Maybe you have seen a picture of me, but I am 6'5, and wear 16's on my feets!
I litteraly can not drive a JD B, I LOVE the little Bs, but can not drive them, period (only for a few feet, loading on a trailer, etc.)
Drove an A, and it really didn't feel much different, but I actually fit on it!!
If the 520 has a tight station (because in reality it is a B) and you are a big guy like me, it would be worth paying a little extra for the 620, and being able to drive it!!
Personally, I would dump the two JD's and go for the Cockshutt. IF it is nice shape, it will be worth a lot more in the long run, however it may be more costly to restore, harder to get parts, and even harder to know how to restore it (paint, etc). BUT, there are LOTS of JD's out there, and people see them green ones and think "oh cool, a John Deere" thats it. VERY few people say "oh! a 520! OH and theres a 730D! COOL!" Thats what us tractor freaks do! :P
Good luck either way.... Would love a picture of that Super M..... :)

The young person asking questions received positive feedback and advice from total strangers who "told it like it is" with the care many reserve for their own kids. The advice is timeless... so although it isn't necessarily antique tractor related, it will be prominently displayed in our archives to honor those who have the courage to ask and those who have the courage to respond in an honest, positive manner.
