Found these last night

Amazing to find the paperwork, Looks like a good buy

Not even a serial # on the bill of sale. How old is the tractor.

Looking at the fender I am going to guess 1949 or 1950 vintage.

And FYI, $2500 dollars in 1968 equals $17,804 in 2017 dollars.

It is a 1950 5U. I believe Dad told me it was used as an anchor tractor. It had a large pulley mounted to the drawbar. I know the engine was opened up because it would have been the two piece pistons but the ones in there but the are All Al.

So the comment on the value of $2500 in 1968 got me wondering what the cost of a 1950 D2 new would have been. I have looked on the net, and did a search on this site, but didn’t turn up the info. I am sure someone has posted that here before.

I have a D2 picture book. I think I remember a picture of machines for sale at a dealer with price tags on them. But probably doesn't include the year of the picture. I'll try to find the picture anyway.

Found the picture. Talks about used D2's.

I bought this tractor from the original owner about 18 years ago. He kept the sales slip in the parts book.
