I'll take some this weekend if I think about it and am not tearing the fuel solenoid out.

John,you are right. It came Thursday evening(actually too dark for pics) and I just put 'er in the garage. Yesterday after work I pretty much was just checking everything out. Pics aren't the greatest,but here she is!
Correct me if I'm wrong,but I don't think these are the new arms either,and I asked dealer to make sure they were
Greg
Hey Awesume looking machine. But dont settle for those arms. I bought my 2520 a couple of months ago out of town and had it shipped in, amazing deal couldnt refuse. Needless to say none of the local dealers helped me out with the arms. I ended up getting a deal from one of the local dealers and the local john deere rep pitched in part of the cost.
I am so glad I had the arms changed. I also use an imatch with R4's flipped to to the wide position and it still would rub the tires. The delaers will tell you to adjust the turnbuckles and when they are proper it cant rub. Wrong. When they are adjusted equal you still only have the thicknes of your finger between the arms and tires.
I dont want to start the ongoing 3pt hitch arms thread, but talk to your dealer. After paying that kind of money you should have a machine that is perfect.
Anyway, enjoy the machine, they are amazing. ...

Nice looking tractor. Is it a 2520 ? No one mentioned the model. The bolt on cutting edge is a nice option. My mig welder was too close when I built my hd bucket. Don't believe my 4110 will burn through the cutting edge with my usage. The 5" piece of high carbon steel was only five dollars a foot and was lucky to find the correct length.
The next project will be to buy or build a rear counter weight . Makes a huge difference in the loader operation. Good luck and play safe.

Yes
A ballast box build was my first project

I still haven't bothered with ballast box... just keep putting the box blade on instead. Maybe when I have a concrete floor where I can put my equipment on dollies. A ballast box should be narrower and not be an issue when manuvering.

I have to keep everything on pieces of belt rubber on the barn floor which is dirt.

That rig is nice! I have a the same color machine only older. They are alot more mobile in the snow without the mower deck.
