Shine the vin tag up with some fine grade steel wool. Then take a pencil and lightly turn the tag black with it. The letters and numbers may appear.
Sounds good. Thanks for that Link. Ya looks like the Service manual isn't vin specific. I see them listed for the "super K".Carefully read Mitch's post #2.

I have been in the position of not being able to get kits that were out of stock due to this pandemic....Supply and demand, so the price is up...Sucks, but we need the parts!Just priced some cylinder kits and there over $100 dollars each lol. The guy said last year they were like $50 dollars.
Nice Purchase, with some TLC that should be a good machine
For your cylinder rebuild kits try Coleman Equipment.
Even though their website says that they are Kubota they sell case construction equipment hydraulic cylinder rebuild kits.
I just got lift arm cylinder kits for my 1845C Uniloader from them and they were 1/2 the price that the case dealer wanted.
The parts guy said that even though they don't sell case OEM parts anymore they still sell hydraulic cylinder rebuild kits for case machines.
If the machine says Case on it and Dale can't find parts then the zombie apocalypse must surely be upon us...Listen to Tinkerer and call Tractorstuff 800-428-8183..If parts are in stock they'll usually be to your place in 4 days or less ..Dale Weiss has sold me quite a few Bulldog kits.
Done, gonna order my seal kits from Tractorstuff on monday. Seems like the place to go for any parts I'll need in the future...
Gonna base line this thing with all new fluids and filters, and I'm expecting to spend some coin, but F word, some of the Case brand hydraulic oil sounds expensive!
Didnt even ask the case dealer yet, but the Case hy-Trans plus/ultra people are saying is like 80 plus a five gallon bucket!
I'm cool spending the coin on the transaxle as I'll need about 47 qts. for the change with filter, but the hydrailic oil reservor is like 21 gallons! The previous owner was using tractor supply all purpose I think he said. So this is gonna cost me to use the hy-trans ultra in the hydraulic reseravor.
Worth the cost? I might have to wait a few weeks and continue using some tractor supply stuff temporarly if so.. I read the Case TCH fluid was no longer avail, and in another thread people are saying the hy-trans is the replacement.
What are you all putting in your 580 backhoes? I'm thinking a cheaper alternative for the hydraulic reseravor and the hy-trans for the transmission...
Thanks.
