    1969 Case 580CK

    Thanks guys. It makes sense as the circuit should get pressure before the control handle operates the valves controlling the cylinders. Be helpful for my project if I can run the engine and then position the tractor for the loader install.

    My 580CK has the 4 speed manual shifter with the hi-low shifter and the mechanical column mounted shuttle to move forward and reverse by use of the clutch. No reverse gear selection on the 4 speed shifter plate....you select your 1- 4 gear with clutch pushed in and either have the mechanical...

    CASE CK 580 - Motor replacement options?

    In our area of Northern Illinois, a running CASE 580 Construction King TLB in working condition will fetch $5-8 thousand depending on 159 gas vs 188 Diesel. Parts for the late 60's to early 70's vintage (pre-B) are hard to find but the hobby farmers and woodlot owners want the old hard worked...

    580CK Advice

    The shaft should have a stud with hex head connecting to the carb. On mine, it was so dirty it appeared to be round . Clean it up and see if the original parts are still there. You could always drop the carb with it on and make it a bit easier to manipulate the rod so you can get a better...

    580CK Advice

    I will look at the parts book to confirm but I think that shaft has a pressure fit over a threaded stud. Is the carb side of the linkage clean enough to see if a small wrench fits on a the stud that the throttle rod connects to?

    580CK Advice

    I restored my 69 580 CK last year and the coil is a 3 ohm resistance with no external resistor. I used a NAPA (Echlin) 905. May make a difference. I would make sure your sediment bowl and screen filter are good and eliminate the in line as the gravity (non fuel pump) flow works best without...

    Looking at first backhoe - Case 580B CK

    I needed a backhoe for stump pulling and other cleanup work on 40 acres of recreational land in Michigan. What was important to me was the ability to get parts and be able to wrench on it myself if possible. I found a well cared for OLD 580 CK made in 1969 with a tired gas engine. It...

    16 Inch Front Tires for a Case 580 CK?

    I think I found a machine shop that will fabricate a set of spacers. The bolt pattern on the wheels is 5.25 and not 5.50 or I could buy standard 1/4 inch spacers. The tires on EBAY would work also. Wonder how an outfit can sell that tire at $150 bucks when most others folks have steered me...

    16 Inch Front Tires for a Case 580 CK?

    My 69 Case 580 TLB needs new tires. The old mismatched set of junk on it when I bought it are done. I had a nice used set of Goodyear truck tires and they mounted up nice on the wheels but when I bolted them up, they are just a bit too wide. They rub against the spindle/steering arms. Cant...

    Alternator warning light for the dash

    My 69 580 CK needs an alternator warning light fixture. Dealer said the oil pressure is available but the alternator light is not? I guess it is a two wire non grounded at the dash obviously as opposed to a simple one wire dash instrument light etc. Anyone have a source or suggest a replacement/...

    1969 580 Construction King Alternator Question

    Doing a complete rebuild of the tractor after the old gas engine wore out. It has been converted to an alternator prior to me and worked okay but the wiring was both scary and tattered to the point of failure. Many original and "new" splices and cut wires were taped over and left in the...
