I'll see if I can find my manual and upload a pdf scan
He has the manual.
A previous owner or idiot did a hack job on his wires and a .pdf of any of the four factory schematics for his 580 are worthless. Actually there are two for his diesel 580ck. The diesel engine with a generator and the diesel engine with an alternator.
All he can do is use a VOM to trace and repair the screwed up wiring until everything is functioning like it was designed to be.

Somebody above probably already said this. 580 K was available in many configurations. For example an open ROPS had a different group of harnesses from a cab tractor.
Once you have the correct set of schematics for your tractor, draw a partial schematic featuring only the portion of the harness affecting the issue you are having.
You are now better prepared to test what works, what doesn't.
In my experience, a new harness is staggeringly expensive. I ran new wires to replace the non functional portion.
580K (I have owned two) has four sections to the wiring harness. There are many mated plugs to combine them into a whole wiring harness. Most often the problems were failed connections in these mated plugs. I never found a source for the individual metal terminals to put in these plugs. I bypassed the bad connections.

From the photo I'd have said yours was early in production. Later produced 580 K did not have the bolt on piece where the bucket pin attaches. Later production had a welded structure forming the whole extended portion of the dipper. Yours is a ductile iron piece bolted to a welded steel piece. These were notorious for loosening up. Case tried a very hard 12 point headed special bolt but failed to solve the problem. At one time Case offered a weldable replacement could be welded on to the dipper, these are no longer available. My solution was torquing these 6 bolts in two rows of three well beyond specification, then spanning the rows with 3/8" key stock welded in place across the heads. So far so good!
