[AJD] Odd 530 configuration

[Ronald L. Cook]

Dean,
         Well, you might guess that I am not much of an authority on these 
oddball, or at least low production tractors.  I guess I hadn't thought 
about the 16 inch front, so much as the regular length rear axles.  It is a 
rough looker.  I still bet it is not factory, but a combination of an 
LPG530 and a vegetable tractor that had good tires or a good final from 
another tractor.  If I understand things correctly, it really should have 
long axles.  That bunch up there in southern MN do travel great lengths to 
find the oddball things, though.

ps: I am leaving in the morning for some spraying in South Dakota and won't 
be posting for awhile.  The wheat is needing some fungicide applied and I 
am just the one to work at that. <g>
