Hi Tweeter, The 580 (no letter following) I'm working on for the guy who just bought it is 12v., single seat, around 1970. The seat didn't go up when we looked at it. Guy demonstrating the hoe was pretty small. When I sat there I couldn't believe anybody could operate it like that, knees banging your chin. Was just dirty. There's an identification tag on the engine that'll tell you what you're looking at. Left side, IIRC. Also a tag on the right frame, but that identifies the loader. If you buy it, make sure you get an operator's manual. I've got one due any day now from ebay. It'll tell you what you need to know about maintenance. This one didn't have functioning brakes which made for an interesting trip on and off the trailer. Turned out one had a leaky oil seal and the other was just dirty and out of adjustment. Neither needed parts, other than an oil seal. Simple systems. So far, Case is great with parts and help. They pulled a new kit off the shelf so I could compare lining thickness. Guess you know that non-operation is hard on anything that seals. Good luck.
