Our 530

[560farm]

There has been quite a bit of 530 talk lately, so here is ours. A neighbor 5 miles south bought it brand new and we bought it from him a couple yrs ago. It is triple range, dom and hauls down the road! The only things not working are the lights and fuel gauge. Haven't had time to mess with it much. I assume the tank sender is more than likely bad. It only has like 23xx hrs and is a '63 IIRC the serial #. The loader is a New Idea and don't remember the model without looking at it again.

Brad,

That looks like a really straight original 530. Can I ask you about the dealer decal? Is it still legible? Thanks, Don

Hi Don, you should have it already as Union Hill Impl and later changed to Union Hill Sales and Service. Which it's still called today but has been Ford/NH since the CIH merger when they lost the contract. I have taken pics of the decals before knowing that you collect them. Here is one again on a different 30 series

That's a really nice 530. My gas gauge only registers the last quarter of the tank, and the lights don't work either. I'm hoping it's only the switch. Must be a common thing with these 530's.

Nice straight 530 you have there Brad, thanks for showing. Reminds me of the MM Jet Star my Dad had when I was a youngster, he had put hub caps on the front wheels also. Rod.

The green loader frame is a nice touch. Makes it look like an early OEM Case loader or something.

I missed the hub caps the first time I looked at it. What are they off of?

PO had those on there with the 11Lx15 tires, they are Chevy hubcaps. Look like the ones that were on my Grandpas '79 Impala.
