Case 580 CK

[furnacebrook]

Hello, Does anyone have the specs for a 1969 case construction king tractor with loader?
Just bought one and trying to track down more info. I lifted a 2400lbs pallet full of stove pellets the other day and it did'nt even blink. I would guess it's about a 3000lbs lift capacity but not sure. I don't know the Hp's either.


Thanks for any help,

Scott Hawley

I don't have exact specs, but ~45 hp and ~4000# loader lift capacity. They made CK's back then in either gas or diesel, I owned both, but the diesel is better. Manual shuttle with clutch, and power shuttle with torque converter were also options. The only real downside with all of them was the loader, very prone to weld breakage. If yours is in pretty good shape I'd sure go easy with the loader, you won't hurt it by lifting heavy loads, just be careful raming into immovable objects like big rocks.

They were pretty good tractors all in all though, and if yours was taken care of you'll have a lot of fun with it.
