Hello - Adam from western Belize here.

Just acquired a somewhat neglected Case 580C for use around our farm (and for doing odd jobs for other farmers in the village). I've already learned so much from reading posts on the forum - many thanks to all!

That's what I'm hoping! I do most of the work on our trucks and tractor - looking forward to getting this thing running better and putting it to work. Plenty to learn...

Engine and transaxle are good. starts easily every time, plenty of power. Needs work on the shuttle and brakes... Couple of cylinders leaking, some wear in pins and bushings. Hydraulics seem generally OK. I've found the manuals already - very helpful. Plenty of reading to do... Looking forward to getting stuck in to it.
