I thought I posted this on here yesterday but can not find it.
The water pump on my Case 580 CK Diesel is shot and needs to be replaced, which means a radiator removal. Has anyone on here removed a radiator from a 580 CK. I have it mostly apart but can not see or figure out how to get the radiator out of the machine. The lower hose is only 2 1/2 inches long and can not be slid forward or back towards the engine. The radiator can not be slid forward either. Looks like it has to come pretty much straight up. Anyone have any ideas on this.

Before I comment and waste both of our time, have you already got it apart? let me know and I'll explain how I did mine.

Thanks for the offer.
I did find out how to get the radiator out of the machine. The two bolts at the bottom of the radiator I could not find because of all the dirt and grime and crud on the machine. I have replaced the water pump and have put the machine back together. The problem now is when I was cranking it over, it just stopped cranking. Now it just acts like there is no battery it the machine. Before I lost the cranking I had cleaned up all the cable connections from the battery to the starter and solenoid. I am not electrically sharp so I am sort of confused. I would like to see the wiring diagram of the starter circuit of a Diesel 580 CK.

Starter circuit is pretty simple. Apply positive directly to starter terminal and see if it cranks. There is a safety start position on the main shift lever, the switch may be shot, or disconnected, or your ignition switch bad.
