    Replacing top swing pin bushing - tips?

    I need to replace the top swing pin bushing on a case 580c (model 35 backhoe). Are there any tips on doing this without pulling the lower pin? The lower pin is in good shape and I hate to split the whole hoe. Thanks in advance.

    JD 410 Backhoe Clutch Problem

    So to make sure I understand. The clutch lever is moving freely, but the control arm to the clutch itself will not move. Is that correct? How much pressure have you acually used? Switch to the hyguard and that will help some on the dragging clutches, but it is not unusual to have that drag...

    580C Power Shuttle Rebuild

    Rebuild complete. About 6 hours from the time I cracked the case to the time the shuttle was back in the backhoe ready for a test run. Works great now. Previously, it would barely get moving in 1st gear. Someone had been inside the unit before using generous amounts of silicone gasket maker...

    Ripper or rake?

    I vote rake The rake will be much more handy. I have never really had a need for a ripper, but the rake gets quite a bit of use piling brush.

    580C Torque Converter

    Thanks for the reply. The screen was actually very clean. No clutch fines at all and no "shinyness" to the fluid like you when clutch linings are smoked. Someone has at least pulled the pan before since they applied an excessive amount of silcone during the install. I ordered my...

    580C Torque Converter

    580C TC and Power Shuttle Moving to the next problem on rehabilitating this backhoe. The unit has no power moving foward. No problem going backward and it will move in 1st gear but not up a hill. I have cleaned the screen and refilled the TC and PS with TCH but that did not make any...

    Case 580C Kingpin issues

    Thanks for the suggestions I think I will cut the kingpin and thrust bearing with a torch, jack the spindle up and cut the bottom of the king pin. I should then be able to remove the spindle whereafter I can drive out the two short pieces in the axle with a little heat. I can then press out...
