    Case 530 engine froze

    Worse case scenario --> cut the nuts off the caps, or cut the connecting rods and drive the sleeves out with the pistons and rods in with them. Removing the engine from the tractor would make things a lot easier no matter what you do.

    Anti sandblast radiator screen

    Does the the 450 have a pusher fan on it now ? The shroud isn't needed if you don't work in a lot of sand. If the engine bay has side panels there shouldn't be any problem with sand going thru the radiator. Sand carried around on the tracks is what causes erosion of the radiator. I have seen...

    Case 580D Swing Cylinder Rebuild - Stuck Con Glands - Any tips?

    No need for threaded pin holes for a gland wrench. They can be cleaned out with a drill. If you have the proper gland wrench there is never a need to put pipe wrench on a gland. Previously damaged pin holes - I simply drill new ones. Anyone that attempts to remove a gland should have one of...

    Case 580E problems

    Polarity reversed somewhere in the wiring ? Is the alternator charging at stupid high rate ? Is the battery boiled dry form over charging ? Deep cycle batteries are for trolling motors on boats. :)

    You need to start your own thread about your problem. Derailing this one causes confusion. Especially when they are two different machines.

    Case 580B missing parts from main relief valve.

    Welcome to HEF, mesc99 ! There are lot of 580's in salvage yards. I wouldn't alter the OEM valve because the main relief valve in it controls the system pressure, and that includes the backhoe. If it has one. You will probably have to buy a complete valve assembly. I doubt if anyone will sell...
