    Hydraulic Couplers

    Just in case anyone encounters leaky couplers, here's the results of my adventures in rebuilding the coupler on the 580. Instead of buying the aforementioned $85 factory double o ring I ordered a bunch of regular o rings from allegheny york (the people there were very helpful). No one had...

    Hydraulic Couplers

    thanks for your suggestions. allegheny york remembers them from years ago, but have nothing now, and I've talked to ag suppliers with no luck. the rings I am looking for have an ID of @23 mm, a cross section of @3 mm and a height of @6 mm. Has anyone tried to use 2 "o" rings side by side...

    Case 580 CK

    Any one know where I can get a good pdf copy of the operators and shop manuals? I purchased a pdf shop manual from a site and it was unreadable trash! I have early 1970s 580 CK that is a rather large lawn ornament at the moment. I would really like to get it running. I have a little...

    What oil in a old case 580CK?

    I too could use some help on this issue. I've recently become the owner of a very tired 1970 580CK which I saved from the scrap yard. The specs call for 30 weight diesel low ash ($18 gallon), but I was told to run 15-40. ($15 a gallon) There's not much difference in price, so I may as well...
