[AJD] Odd 530 configuration

[Dean VP]

Have learned a bit more. I obtained the serial number but the seller doesn't
want it public. I looked the serial # up in the 30 Series production
register and the serial number is a legitimate Row Crop LP from the factory
and LP precedes the serial number on the plate. 

Still find it oddly configured with 42" Rears, 16" single front wheel but
w/o extra long axles or longer axle housing. I guess 530's could be
purchased from the factory that way but it seems odd to me. Not sure how one
would describe this tractor in commonly used terminology. Not a 530 "High
Clearance" per my understanding of that configuration.  I thought the
"Vegetable" definition was equal to "High Clearance".  "Row Crop" fits but
that doesn't tell the whole story. Both the front and rear wheels could have
been easily changed after production. My understanding is the factory did
not keep additional wheel configuration records to reference.

However, the LP configuration makes it a bit rare in itself. Interesting
tractor, will be interesting to see if it goes for a big premium. 

Somebody enlighten me!

There is a LP JD 630 for sale on eBay that is a bit odd.  The seller states
that it does not have extra long axles or extra long axle housing but in all
other cases it appears to be a High clearance model with 42" rears and 16"
single front wheel. Don't know if it original factory LP or a dealer
conversion. 

Is this a legitimate factory configuration or is this a home brew? Don't
think I have ever seen one configured this way before.
