I found a JD 2530 with a loader on the side of the road for sale over the Thanksgiving holiday while traveling. No one was home at the house, and there was no answer at the phone # from the sign. Anyone have any insight as to these tractors? There isn't much info on the web. Maybe a price range, tractor is a little rough, but appears as though it has been run recently.

Got it here and worked out a deal with the owner (my boss and owner of the company I work for) I do the maintenance, and he will put a snow pusher blade on the bucket ( very popular here) and I take care of snow removal in the winter months. In exchange I get free use of the tractor.
Update: Badly leaking Valve cover gasket, 2 leaking injector seals, all original hoses, no thermostat, a pin that had fallen out of the brake linkage, and one rusty rear wheel that needs replaced, other one is new, and one cylinder on bucket leaks slightly. Looked really bad when it got here, but a whole day with degreaser and a pressure washer and I actually found paint again (sheetmetal is very dented), repaired all but the reare wheel and did a full service/fluid change and she purrs like a kitten, and has a lot of power for 30 HP.

OK not completely free. My boss has inherited an old L295D and wants me to maintain it and use it to snowblow the parking lot in winter at our plant, the caveat is I get free unlimited useage of the machine. SWEET! The first problem is the brakes don't work, I can fix this, I'm a mechanic. What I do need however is a shop service manual for this rig, anyone know where I could possibly dredge one up?
