Hi, this is just a statement! I bought a case 530 tlb about
1967. It was new in 1965. It had the 188D engine. It ran quite
cool, you could put your hand on the exhaust manifold with out
getting burned. I was contracting then and worked that tractor
every day. I never revved it up too high, maybe 1/2 throttle.
I changed the oil once a month with 30 wt diesel. I had the
tractor 30 years. I wore the control knobs out. Almost cried
when it went. Very good tractor. Ed Will Oliver BC
