Just picked up a 530 Case-o-Matic , the serial number is missing so I'm trying to figure out the year. The engine serial # is 2002226, it has 12.4x28 rears on cast spoked wheels and 6.00 x16's on the front. according to everything I have found it "should" have 14.9x24 rears and 7.50x16 fronts. Big deal on the fronts just change the tire size but the rears are too short although the are about the same diameter as the factory size (supposedly). The tractor looks like it's running uphill. from the side it looks as though the rear is about 8-9 inches lower than the front. The engine does NOT have 2 fuel filters on the left side behind the injection pump, just one fuel filter under the tank. OK, my questions are 1) with the engine serial number and the filter location can anyone give me an "educated" guess on the year and 2) what 28" rear tire will give me a taller diameter to get the tractor more level? Thanks all and Merry Christmas. Bob
