Another Case 530 Serial Number Issue

[Crinton]

I have a Case 530 with, guess what, no model or serial number because the piece of tin it was attached to went missing! I bought it as a 430 but soon identified it as a 530 by way of various components, fuel tank, carb, etc. From the IT Shop Manual (C-202 Page 74, Paragraph 189) I know it is an early model that will have a Serial Number below 8191147. The tractor has an Engine Number 341 S 09191. Assuming that this is the original engine number, does anyone out there have a way of connecting engine numbers to serial numbers? The tractor has an Eagle Hitch, standard 4 speed + reverse transmission, triple range and shuttle shift. Based on YT Serial Number Guide, I believe it has to be 1960 to 1962 with a serial number in the range 8160001 (the starting number for 1960) to 8191147. This serial number range covers several tractor models - 430, 530, 530B, 630, 730, 830, 930 and 1030 - I have no clue as to how they rationalize that! Any help greatly appreciated.

Go to the case forum and ask there, those folks know that stuff better than me.
