[AT] Case 580

[Richard Fink Sr]

Thanks John i am trying to get hold of the local Case dealer and see if i 
can get a mechanic service call to see what they think. It appears monday 
is a bad day to get a service department head around here. Every one must 
have broke down over the week end     Ha Ha
