John Deere 1530 Tractor Parts
The John Deere 1530 tractor, manufactured from 1973 to 1975, was a popular choice for farmers seeking a reliable utility tractor. Powered by a 52 horsepower diesel engine, it provided ample power for a variety of tasks. Its robust design and approximately 45 PTO horsepower made it well-suited for haying operations, light tillage, and general farm work.
The John Deere 1530 was introduced in 1973 as a part of John Deere's lineup of utility tractors, filling a need for a versatile machine capable of handling diverse farm tasks. Production continued through 1975. The 1530 was equipped with a Yanmar 3T90 diesel engine, producing approximately 52 engine horsepower with a displacement of 101.3 cubic inches (1.7 L). This engine was known for its fuel efficiency and durability. Transmission options included a standard 8-speed gear transmission. The independent PTO delivered approximately 45 horsepower at 540 RPM. Hydraulic capacity was around 7 GPM, powering the two remote hydraulics. It featured a Category I 3-point hitch. Farmers commonly used the 1530 for tasks such as haying (mowing, raking, baling), operating light tillage implements like discs and cultivators, and for general livestock operations, including feeding and manure handling. What distinguished the 1530 from smaller models was its larger engine, heavier frame, and increased hydraulic capacity, making it suitable for more demanding tasks than its smaller counterparts, while remaining nimble enough for work in confined spaces. It was smaller and lighter than the 2030, making it more maneuverable for certain farm tasks.
