I have a 1969 Case CK 580. Its a 4 speed transmission with a shuttle shifter. There's a position on the transmission labels as "S" (all the way to the left and up). What does this mean? I tried it and nothing happened. What does that mean?

"S" stands for 'Start'. When the shift lever is in this position an internal switch is depressed and the starter will function. If it does nothing, on your 580CK, then it is probably by-passed, which some guys ignorantly did. The wires that should be connected to the switch come out of the steering column right next to the switch which is positioned just to the left of the shift lever, screwed into the trans housing cover plate.

Thanks, I was also wondering what that switch was on the floor of the tractor. I'll use an ohm meter to see if that funtions and rewire the switch. This machine is new to me and I dont yet have a manual, so I have a ton of questions.

Good Idea > you may just find the wires inside the streering column > under the removable cover plate. To by-pass the switch they simple would need to be twisted together. I've had my 580CK here on the farm for 20 some years. I'm not an operator but it's sure a back saver and handy to have around. Didn't cost much and starts better than most other Diesels. Don't hesitate to E-Mail any questions. I have manuals and have done some repairs so may be able to help you, anytime.

: I have a 1970's case 580 backhoe. It has the 4 speed hydro transmission. It runs great in reverse but in forward gears it is very sluggish. The longer I use it the worse it gets. Once it cools down it is better but still not good. It also has a power take off unit. Motor runs great and it digs great,just doesn't havegood forword power.any trouble shooters out there with any suggestion please respond. thank you

If your tractor is properly wired you should have to have the shifter in "park" to start it. This is the position you asked about.
