[AT] Case 580

[Richard Fink Sr]

Thanks Bruce we got hold of the local Case dealer and he said could be ring 
and pinion or axel bearing. They would check and repair for $2500.00 to 
$3000.00. I think i will get it hauled back to my home and shop and do some 
checking first.I have it at the place where we are hopeing to put up a new 
shop and home soon.
