You good guys have helped me out so much in the past. Thank you. I rebuilt an old Case 580B in New
Jersey and it worked Ok there. Now, I moved the machine to West Virginia to do more work.
Questions: Item 1. Because of the steep mountains, I want to keep the machine in first gearcreeper
gear! I can not get it in first or second gear. Third and fourth gear, yes, but no first or second. Any
thoughts? Item 2. This may be a driver issue, unfamiliar with driving in mountains, but as I go straight
up a hill, the machine reaches a point where the front end lifts off the ground, all the way till the hoe
hits the ground. Not good. Not good at all. Your thoughts?
Thank you for all your help!
