    Case 580sl neutral to forward delay ???

    Thank you for the informative response. I did check the screen and it was clean. I'll try checking the filter next. If it turns out being the pump any guess what it runs to have it replaced?

    Case 580sl neutral to forward delay ???

    Another thing I just thought of. I caught my guys starting out in 3rd gear and putting quite a load on the machine. I'm not sure how long the had been doing this but could that have anything to do with it?

    Case 580sl neutral to forward delay ???

    Ok thanks a lot. I'm thinking it may be the pump as well. It seems like it just doesn't have the pushing power it used to. I have to use first gear just to push a full bucket of dirt now. Any idea what's involved in replacing the pump? Cost?

    Case 580sl neutral to forward delay ???

    Oil level is good. Does the fact that it happens after it warms up point to anything ?

    Case 580sl neutral to forward delay ???

    It gets worse when it warms up. It's about a 5 second delay but if I hit the gas pedal to soon it takes even longer

    Case 580sl neutral to forward delay ???

    Im noticing when the machine warms up there is a big delay when going from neutral to forward. Any ideas on what would cause this? Its got 6000 hrs on it now but has never had any drivetrain problems in the past. Could this be something as simple as a filter or fluid issuer, or is it a bigger...

    580sl Can i weld boom cyl on the hoe?

    I talked to a guy today that said he's been working on these machines for 25 years. He said he's never seen a weld hold up for more than a year no matter how good of a job was done on it. He recommended getting a new tube and cap "made"?? Anyone have any experience with doing this? Thanks for...

    Cat vs Case backhoes?

    The bounce that is being talked about with the case happens only at the top of the boom cyl. Stroke, and only if the boom is raised up past where it would be during normal operation. It may have something to do with the boom being on a two way valve to lock the boom. The work you talk about...

    Cat vs Case backhoes?

    Just thought I would throw my 2cts in. Ive been running hoes for 27 years, cat, case,deere,ford, etc. I’m not going to put any of them down, they are all good machines. I think if you ask a person what the best machine is, they will most often tell you it’s the one they learned on. I do think...
