Serial #5211446. This 520 belonged to my Grandpa and my Great Grandpa before that. This was my Great Grandpa's primary tractor on his farm. When he retired, my Grandpa aquired it and it became the loader tractor. This tractor ran year-around every day for many years feeding hay, pushing snow and manure, shuffling machinery, and was used to power the ear corn elevators at harvest time. The 520 was gutsy for its size and weight. This was the first tractor I learned how to drive on. My grandpa retired in 2004 from farming, and this tractor was sold on auction. Went somewhere to the Carroll IA area I believe. If you have this tractor, here is its history, Id like to just know where it is. Submitted by Ndaircapt, from ND
