1968 case 580ck won't move. Hoping I can gain some knowledge on my recently purchased tractor and continue conversation of this great construction king!!

I drove my tractor to my buddy's house so we could give her a good cleaning and check hydro hoses and connections. Found a few leaks at the backhoe valve control manifold. After the cleaning greasing and fluid top offs, she won't climb up to the hill to the main platform where work is needed. I have changed the rear end fluid and filled the clutch reservoir in front on the radiator. I am stumped and could use some experienced folks to direct me so I can continue trouble shooting.

Thank you!

Tim from Maine
