As far as I can tell it is a 1965 model 32 case 530CK
[/i:1bdbc4d4e5]I'll help out as best as i can, I am still pretty new as well but studied quite a bit. Get the operator manual and you'll be an expert.[i:1bdbc4d4e5]

1. Does this tractor have a torque converter? Is this it in the pic?
[/i:1bdbc4d4e5]Also called "wet clutch" a torque converter was a case-o-matic" and is distinguished in these by the converter temp gauge and the clutch petal on the l side of operator going into the tractor rather than under the operator floorboard[i:1bdbc4d4e5]

2. I have looked in every manual I can find, it show a torque filter should be in front of the radiator but its not on this tractor and I don't see any evidence that it ever was. Someone posted this "My 530D the fill is next to the hyd. valve
/filter housing on top of the trans under the dash on brake side. 1 1/2 " plug" Does anyone have a picture, I sure cant find that.
[/i:1bdbc4d4e5] no clue as I don't have a converter[i:1bdbc4d4e5]

3. When filling the Torque converter with oil can I use the tube breather and not the dipstick. Its so small and will take forever with 4 gallons or so.
[/i:1bdbc4d4e5] no clue as I don't have a converter[i:1bdbc4d4e5]

4. Is this a dual or triple range tractor, not that I actually understand what that means yet
[/i:1bdbc4d4e5] dual (hi-lo?)and triple range (li-lo-direct) is a initial set of gears before the tranny - the shifter is on the right side of operator all way forward - usually tractors are hand clutch (lever on L side operator foot) and triple range and construction side is dual range and shuttle (where your shuttle is - never seen a triple range with shuttle)[i:1bdbc4d4e5]

5. On the shifter, I can only get it to go into 1st and 2nd. 3rd and 4th, don't seem to be there. Is there a trick with the shuttle or should I be able to shift normal to 3rd and 4th? How do you use the shuttle also, is that clutch in push shuttle then change gears? - little lost on procedure.
[/i:1bdbc4d4e5] never used the shuttle, but it's used to go from forward to reverse - think of it if you're in 3rd gear tranny and high dual range - shuttling from forward to reverse keeps all the other gears the same and you only have to shift the shuttle and can go the speed of forward- really sped up loader operations and is really meant to make the forward back operation of a loader easier. I would think you would clutch in before operating the shuttle[i:1bdbc4d4e5]

6. How do I tell if its a Dry or wet clutch
[/i:1bdbc4d4e5] wet clutch = converter & dry = pressure plate - remember the clutch petal orientation above, works without exception as far as i can tell[i:1bdbc4d4e5]

7. I do not see a replaceable air filter location on this model
[/i:1bdbc4d4e5] you'll like the wet type, may have to pull it apart and check the mesh - replace if all gummed up[/i]
