    Case 580 Super K trans drain plug location

    580CK. have very weak brakes.

    I've got a Case 580 K and I'm loving it but my master brake cylinder has developed a leak. Just wondering if anyone has removed the master cylinder and how difficult this is? I don't quote understand how u get to them. Do I need to remove the entire cowling above the pedals and surrounding the...
