    case 580B C/K fluid and filter change

    Instantly, we’re a generator dealer and as such have those on hand. It’s a group 26. But look tiny in there. Before going to work itl get new cables and battery but it needed something to move and load so it got that stuck in there.

All the tractor data serial numbers start with an 8 this is clearly a 5. Perhaps it is the loader serial number? Maybe...
