I'm going to look at case 580c that has sat for 5-8 years. If I could get it started it would make loading it on trailer easiier.
I don't know anything about diesels. I presume this uses 2 6 volt batteries. For something that has sat this long should I go with 1 twelve volt and jumper cables to jump the engine from my truck or should I bring 2 6 volts. (I suppose the answer is bring as many batteries as I can!)
I presume I should drain the diesel and add new (I've read diesel doesn't go bad like gas but it can get algae. Also I suppose the condensation will have turned the fuel in the tank into 1/2 water. I'm guessing I'll be able to figure out how to drain the fuel from the main tank but I'm afraid of introducing air into the injector system. Are there water and fuel drain petcocks as part of the fuel filters (like on my 7.3 Ford Diesel)?
For whatever reason the owner indicated his kids drained the oil out of the engine, presumable several years after it last ran. I have NO idea why.
The hoe has been removed from the tractor and is off to the side. Again I have no idea why. Are the hoses to the Hoe quick connects or do you suspect the hydraulics will be open.
What am I missing (besides this being a longshot on even being worth acquiring) . Any tips appreciated! Thanks.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
