Case 580B CK 1974 Parts Catalog – Factory Exploded-View Diagrams

Description

If you’re ordering parts for an old Case 580B CK and getting boxes of wrong stuff, you’re not alone. I’ve seen guys waste a week waiting for a seal that didn’t fit because they used a third-party cross-reference. A factory parts catalog fixes that. This is the Case 580B CK 1974 Parts Catalog – 284 pages of exploded views and part numbers printed by Case, not some data-scraping outfit. You get the exact drawing that the assembly line used, with reference numbers keyed to a table of genuine Case part numbers. No reprints, no guesswork.

Case 580B CK 1974 Parts Catalog: What’s Inside

Every major assembly on the 580B CK hydrostatic tractor is drawn out. The front index splits into an alphabetical listing for major groups – engine, transmission, hydraulics – and a numerical index at the back that cross-references every part number to the page it appears on. Page 5 lays out how indented descriptions work: if a part is indented under an assembly, the quantity listed is the number used in that assembly, not the whole machine. That distinction saves you from ordering five seals when you only need one.

Exploded Views and Indented Descriptions

Each illustration uses reference numbers that align with a table showing the part number, description, and quantity required. For example, the rear steering cylinder assembly on page 3 (an example from the OCR excerpt) lists socket assembly, plug, seat, spring, clamp – all with Case part numbers. Indented parts like the socket spring seat belong to the socket assembly above them. You follow the indentation, you order right. This is how Case designed the catalog, and it works if you read the note on page 5 before diving in.

Serial Numbers: The Key to Correct Parts

Case built the 580B CK through multiple series. The catalog includes spaces for recording tractor model, transmission serial number, and engine serial number – right on page 4. Every description copy references these numbers. If your machine has an early hydrostatic pump and the catalog lists a later revision, you’ll see the split by serial number. Ignoring serial numbers is the number one reason for returns. Write them down before you open the book.

3 Ways This Catalog Saves You Money

First, you don’t buy parts twice. One guy I know ordered a steering cylinder socket assembly based on a parts website – wrong part. With the catalog, he saw the reference number 28 (socket assy.) and ordered Case A56208. Second, you avoid shipping costs for returns. Third, you don’t pay a dealer to look up numbers for you. The catalog pays for itself on the first order. For mini excavator parts, the Case CX40B 2010 Parts Catalog – OEM Factory Spec Data follows the same indexing system.

Orders and Revised Pages – Keep It Current

Case issued this catalog as B1178, replacing the obsolete A1178. The note on page 3 says revised pages will have the same page number but an advanced issue date. If you let revisions pile up, you’ll order old numbers. The automotive industry has standardized part numbering for decades – see Automotive Industry Overview for how that applies to heavy equipment. When you get the manual, insert any revised pages immediately. Don’t stick them in a drawer.

Get the Right Part Number with the Indexes

Alphabetical index at the front covers groups like “Cylinder – steering” or “Transmission – hydrostatic.” Numerical index at the rear lets you look up a part number you found stamped on an old part and see where it’s used. This is faster than any online search because the data is specific to the 580B CK. If you need a different model, check the Case CX160B 2007 Parts Catalog – OEM Undercarriage Hydraulics or the Case CX27B 2007 Parts Catalog – OEM Factory Specs for Mini Excavator.

FAQ

Does this catalog cover the engine and hydrostatic transmission?

Yes. The catalog includes every assembly from the engine to the final drive, with exploded views and indented part lists. The serial number splits let you pinpoint parts for your specific 1974 build.

How is this different from a service manual?

This is a parts catalog. It tells you what the part number is and how many you need. It does not tell you how to remove or install the part. That’s a separate repair manual.

What if I have an earlier A1178 catalog?

This B1178 catalog replaces it. Case states the A1178 is obsolete and should be discarded. Part numbers and illustrations were updated for the B series with hydrostatic transmission.

Can I order parts directly from this catalog?

Yes – take the part number from the “Part No.” column, give it to a Case dealer or parts supplier along with your tractor and serial numbers. For a broader view of part numbering systems, see Automotive Industry Overview.

You’ve got a 580B CK that needs parts. The spec sheets and online cross-references don’t cut it. Access the Factory Manual – 284 pages of Case drawings and part numbers – and start ordering the stuff that fits.
