I think I found a pic of my old JD 2010 with my Dad on it. I know the JD guys think of the 2010 as the ugly step child, but I loved mine. It was in the late 70's and I had just bought a Bliss wood splitter. It cost about $3500 back then. It had it's own pump and ran off the PTO. The recommended HP to run it was a mine of 40. I went to a local farm auction to look at a Ford 3000. When I got there the Ford had been repainted right over all the grease, new decals stuck over the old ones. An old guy came over and started talking. He asked if I knew tractors. I said I knew cars and trucks, so I knew basic mechanics. I was also young enough that I didn't realize that climbing all over some one else's stuff was all right at an auction. I told the old guy I didn't like the way they painted over all the crud, looked like the were trying to hide something. He went behind the tractor and picked up on one of the lift arms and gear oil gushed out of the bearings/seals. I said, well that doesn't look good. He laughed and walked over to the 2010, and proceeded to start it, poke, prod and point out every little thing on the tractor. So, I passed on the Ford and bid the 2010 up to $2750. The auctioneer looked over at the old guy and said, hey Fred, you have a $3000 reserve on it, what do you want to do? He smiled and said, the kid needs it more than me, let him have it. As soon as I dig the pic up I'll get my son to scan it in.
