I don't know if that will work for 541 but Joe Y likely will know. Joe 530 serial nrs [Reply]   [No Email]

It appears Fred Sanford (previous owner) strategically preserved the serial number plate on this beauty by bolting a bottle rocket launcher on the right side panel. It's a little concerning that the launcher is pointed aft...... Below is a complete list of serial number breaks for the post Rock Island 30 series tractors (1960-1961 430-530-630 were made in Rock Island and had serial numbers beginning with a "6". Production of these models was moved to Racine in 1962, and they were assigned serial numbers beginning with an 8 just like the bigger tractors). The list Joe reference was for the 530CK which was discontinued for the 580 in 1966/67. Based on the rocket launcher, fenders and other slabs of steel bolted on, I'm wondering if this poor little 530 did a tour of service in eastern europe....
