Picked up my (NTM) John Deere today, along with a JD cart!
Seller told me they had bought it new for their son, who is now 39 years old. Looks to be in overall good condition, but needs a paint job & new decals:
It will be restored, then set up for parade use on the jD #10 dump cart, along with the others:

Nice one Lowell. Is that what's known as the 520? Congrats on the purchase, and I'm sure it'll look great when finished!

I was curious why this was not posted in the John Deere section. So I looked and realized you did get the right spot. Cool little tractor, sounds like you know the history of it which makes it even better. Nice Find
