John Deere 1530 Diesel
Trying to determine what model diesel John Deere I have. I think it's a 1520, but I was also told it was a 1530. There's lots of data plates:
There is no data plate on the forward left side of frame as is in the TractorData photo for the 1530.

There is a data plate under seat, right side of transmission- Type: T4RNH Serial No: 079014T
Behind starter, on engine case- Type: M4NTR Serial No: 121537T

Roosa Master Injector Pump- 1361537, Model No. CBC331-13AL, MG'F No: 29725

Finally getting around to replacing the failed dual clutch (the PTO portion of the clutch hasn't worked since I purchased the tractor). Don't know if there's much difference from a 1520 and 1530 clutch. There are 15 splines on the inner transmission shaft and 23 splines on the outer shaft.

Thanks.

Engine to clutch housing split (which is what you will be doing) is easier than transmission to clutch housing split. Good luck!

Thanks everyone. It痴 a 1520. Diesel version. Not much different than the 1530.
Got the new clutch installed and the two halves put back together. Everything put back on... now the starter won稚 engage. Was so excited to hear it run and move again. The starter motor spins up, but the pinion gear isn稚 engaging. Ugh.

I sold 1520 & 1530 when they were new. I think you'll have to look hard to determine any differences in them except the model number on side of hood & serial # tag
