D530 Guru's,

You guys here seem to be the experts on the Case D530 tractors. I am planning on going to look at one in the next week or so. What are some questions I should ask the owner to discern what options the tractor has? I do have this information and a photo I can send (Model is Case D530 s/n 8262839 the engine is a Diesel 188). I dont know if you can tell anything from just the serial number other then age. It has a loader and a gannon on it and the owner swears it runs good and doesnt knock, burn oil or any other bad things (dont they all). I am not sure which version of transmission it has etc.

Lets assume it runs as described, what do you feel this tractor would be worth? I notice all of the posts are relatively old so I dont know how to gauge their value in todays dollar!

Thanks,

Joe

As with any used tractor give it a good going over and test drive it (especially in road gear). A loader mounted on these small tractors is really hard on the front end. Look for worn front end parts and slop in the steering components, also welds on the axle, etc. It may have had a hard life or relatively easy one depending on what the tractor was used for. Loaders are also hard on the clutch components so check that out as well. Determine the amount of blowby coming out of the engine breather tube.
This tractor is a 1965 model and will have the standard 3 point hitch so that is a plus.
As far as price is concerned, a good loader tractor can bring upwards of $5000.00 these days. A new loader itself is around $4500.00.
A 530 is a very nice tractor if it is in good condition. We are in the process of rebuilding a 430 and it has become everyone's favorite on our farm because it is so handy and powerful for its size. Good Luck! Don

Thanks Dave,

The seller has become very rude and wont take the time to send me photos. He doesnt seem to want to answer basic questions about the tractor such as which transmission is in it, what gauges are on the instrument panel etc. and told me to get off my butt to come look at it. Well since it is a few states away that is a bit of a problem! So even if the tractor were a steal he wouldnt get the money from me PERIOD!

Take Care,

Joe

PS. What happened to George in NY? It seems his posts dropped off a few years ago in reading the archived posts on the 530.
