ok got it home today after a long drive home at 45 mph will upload some pictures later today it looks to be a shuttle tranny with gasoline motor how hard is it to change from gas to a deisel i think it would be basic unbolt and rebolt motor but other than that if it is possible could be done or would it be best to rebuild the motor i have it is i alittle rough to me but could be a beast when finished question down by the three point they are two levers one has to be for three point level adjust plan on buying a service manual and a owners manuals so i have the questions answered

I have a 69 580 Construction King loader/hoe(33)...... shuttle with the 159 gas motor. It finally locked up a few years ago and I decided to overhaul the entire tractor. Motor was rebuilt, top and bottom, new parts etc for around 3 grand. It will last another 30 years if serviced and used with common sense. It is a very handy old backhoe tractor but parts can be hard to find compared to the later B models and newer.

I would not hesitate to buy a project like that for 1K if I was looking to do another. But you aint gonna get away cheap if you tackle it.
