Case IH 585

Has anyone had one ? I'd like to know good or bad if ya' know any. I just bought one for a smokin' price, and am trying to figure out weather to keep it or sell it for a few extra bucks . Also they use a bosch pump, on this one the throttle shaft is leaking, can this be repaired with out rebuilding the whole pump ? Thanks in advance .

I had one configured for orchard work, low and narrow. Bought it new and used it for 12 years until '90. It was a good tractor, about the only problem I remember with it was the shifting, the shifters were off to the side with a lot of complicated linkage that sometimes would get "tangled" up and stuck between gears, had to remove a lot of body parts to untangle it. The oil filter was was too low and got ripped off a couple of times before I built a skid plate for it. Never had a bit of engine or hydraulic problems, traded it in with over 10,000 hours on it, got about $2k for it and another $2k for the Du-al loader that fit it. My neighbor has one he bought at about the same time that's still working.
