I wouldn't recommend adding Farm features to a Construction tractor! The transmission ratios are limited and wrong, the reverser/shuttle is unnecessary and perhaps unable to pull a drawbar load for an extended time. The Loader and Backhoe would certainly need to be removed for field use, too heavy and the weight is mislocated. Tires are wrong tread design. That's why Case made separate versions of the 580. Suggest a second tractor for farm/field use. Just saw a nice Case 830 sell for $1600 at a local auction. If you ever found the parts to add PTO to the CK it would cost you more than that. I looked at your photos of the ID plates but couldn't read anything ?? Even if readable I don't have a listing of the serial number ranges which ID the exact model. Well Richard, I just went out and looked at my 580CK and the tractor ID plate is on the right side of the instrument panel, not the left as I guessed last night. It is rectangular (not square like shown in your photos) and 580CK C is stamped above my serial number. Perhaps your photos are from the Loader and the Backhoe, which are accessories and also serialized. Also, 580 Construction King is shown on a 3' long black decal on both sides of the hood, although mine has been painted over. I've confirmed that Manuals are available on this Website under the "Marketplace" link. Click on "Tractor Manuals" at the upper left, then when you browse for a brand on the next screen... make sure you click Case, not CaseIH. At the next screen, scroll to the bottom and click on "Model List", it quicker than going thru many numerical sequenced pages. Then scroll down to the 580 area, there are several choice of tractor configurations and types of manuals. They aren't cheap, but there available. Most likely would be cheaper on eBay but not always available every day. Get out that Visa card for the manuals and place a "Wanted" Ad, under the "Classified Ads" link (also at the top left of this page) to hopefully find the needed final drive pinion gear.
