I kept a book of receipts for my 720d. Always wanted to do that and finally remembered from the start with this tractor. Redid the head and fuel system. New gauges, new flywheel, n.o.s crankshaft, pto clutch, main clutch, exhaust pipe, battery box, wiring harness, camshaft. Good used tires. Lots of miscellaneous pieces and gaskets. I added it up once a few years ago and it was more than the tractor is worth for sure. Since then I've done a little more to it. Quit keeping receipts. Haha. It's still not restored by any means but is finally reliable and fully functional. Contemplating burning the book.
Bought a 2510 last Spring for me and my son. Not planning on keeping records other than progress pictures! But these are both hobby tractors. Fun and relaxing. So that's worth a lot.

I remember he said he had added up what they spent on repairing their 15 year old truck and it averaged out to where they were spending as much as a payment on a new truck would be (this was the mid 90s). He said he may as well buy the new truck and have a warranty with it. And he did. That always stuck with me.
