    Case 580E problems

    Ok thank you, I’ll check my local Napa when I get off work. Any tips for flushing power shuttle? I have a new dipstick on the way. I plan to drain TC, drop the pan, and I believe there is a screen in there I can clean? I have some heavy duty ford TA-31 gasket maker to put the pan back on. It...

    Case 580E problems

    Any idea why the manual calls for a deep cycle? Doesn’t seem to make any sense. I know these came with some lighting, but all the lights have been removed on mine. There is no good reason I need a deep cycle. I’ll try this one I bought and see how it does.

    Case 580E problems

    Ok a little update. I discovered the grounding strap on the battery is pretty shot. New one is on the way. Grounding strap from chassis to engine is not connected at all, fixing that. Positive cable on battery was super lose in the terminal, I’ll be replacing that terminal and putting a new lug...

    Case 580E problems

    Ok from what I’ve read online, it’s a dry bellhousing. I also read that a lot of them came without it. Just seems like a wild idea, it’s a 1 inch hole open for dirt to fly in. I guess it must not be that big of a deal. I should be going out to the property today. I’ll take lots of pictures of...

    Case 580E problems

    Oof, I didn’t realize that! Honestly I have no idea if it has fluid. When he dropped it off to me, he showed me how to check engine oil and hydraulic fluid. I have been reading the service manual and discovered there is A LOT more to it than just checking engine and hydraulic oil, I doubt he’s...

    Wanted: Case 580 Super E parts

    Hello! I’m working on fixing up a 1980s case super e my father in law loaned me… I discovered yesterday the drain plug under the bell housing is missing. I have scoured the internet and can’t seem to find a replacement or part number. Also need the power shuttle dipstick. That too is...

    Wanted: case 580 super E clam loader

    In search of a replacement clam loader for my super e. It can even be just the clam part if that’s all you have, as that’s all I really need. Hoping to find one in Washington or Oregon! Thanks for looking.

    Case 580E problems

    I’m sorry but can you clarify- I can’t tell if you are saying nope, it won’t fit different (as in it fits ok) or nope, it won’t fit, it’s different I ask because I’ve found a couple sites advertising a replacement loader, and in the details it shows it fits both a 580 e and 580 k

    Case 580E problems

    Ok I got another question! I found a clam bucket about 2 hours away for $2k. It came off a 1992 Case Super K. Reading online it looks like it would fit my super E. Can anyone confirm before I make the trip? I also got measurements from the guy, but won’t be able to get back out to the backhoe...

    Case 580E problems

    Another update on the dash- I do get a red alternator light illuminates 100% of the time it’s on. I also briefly get a hydraulic filter light that goes away. So I am getting some power to the dash, just no gauges (rpm, temp sensors, hours, etc). Does that circuit breaker interrupt 100% of power...

    Case 580E problems

    Ok I do have what I thought is a clutch pedal on the floor, unfortunately it doesn’t work, I’ve tried it a couple times. Looks like I will have to explore that. Here’s a pic of the broken arm, I’m 99% certain it’s the antirollback arm, and I broke the “Cleavus” the parts dealer told me lol...

    Case 580E problems

    Thank you for the info! I’ll start digging into the electrical. I have some automotive experience but have never worked on a machine like this. The braided ground wire is definitely old, broken in a few spots, that may be the cause right there. We also have a mysterious draw, if we don’t...
