    RANT: Case Backhoes + Youtube = No Travel Locks

    Tinkerer, Sorry to hijack your post but I'm not sure how to use this site anymore. Want to thank you for your message. 1967 580CK is alive & in occasional use here in TN. I've been perusing the site trying to figure out how to contact you & I've been reading some comments. Had forgotten how much...

    Case 580 Rehab and Engine Overhaul

    CasIns, Regretfully, I have not monitored this site for quite some time. I thank you for your compliments of my work on that cursed beast. I most assuredly would have not completed it without the support & advise I received from this forum. My report of the old CK is that she is alive & well. I...

    580 CK Backhoe - Opinions?

    Cylinder rebuilds and new hoses are a constant way of life if you own equipment. The shuttle makes for an easier hoe to operate. Diesels are easy to work on but expensive for parts. Get a good work manual for whatever you buy. I too would have held out for a C if I could have but like the CK. I...

    Roughest 580ck ain't moving!

    It's hard to believe it's been so long since I've been on this great site. MY old computer crashed & I lost all my contacts. My old 580ck still is unfinished. We used it for probably 50 to 70 hrs last year. The hesitation going in between forward & reverse is still there and quite annoying...

    Case 580CK finally started but has some problems

    Tinkerer has got the best advice. I'm just telling of my own experiences with my one old hoe. The correct tool is always the best way to go. As I'm not through with all my cylinders, where can I get the right glan tool for $30, Tinkerer? Thanks, packratc

    Case 580CK finally started but has some problems

    Probably wouldn't buy a glan removal tool yet. I've been able to take all my cylinders apart with a large pipe wrench so far. The next one will prove me liar, though. As to the inner nut on the piston, I've heated a few with a torch & had to buy a 3/4 impact. The torch is needed when the last...

    MrKool, I sent you, or tried to send you, a private message on this forum. Never done it before so it's anybody's guess if you get it. packratc

    Case 580CK finally started but has some problems

    I forgot to mention, since we all know that you're wealthy, I mean if you own a backhoe it's a given, buy 10, 5 gallon buckets of the cheap hydralic fluid in the yellow buckets with the green tops at TSC and with the rest of your money buystock in TSC or Case. I made a pipe funnel that fits both...

    Case 580CK finally started but has some problems

    Don't know that I wouldn't pull the boomon around with my truck as it looks like it's locked in the upright position. Then I'd chain up the stabilizers and chain the boom in place to keep it from moving. Then I might take the backhoe pump off of the front of the engine. Oh, You've got to lift...

    Case 580CK finally started but has some problems

    I buy all my fluids at Tractor Supply. Try PATCO down near the the driver's license testing place for making your hoses. They've been really helpful making mine and being sympathetic to me knowing a lot. Packratc

    Case 580 CK brake trouble

    Ahh, Again you're a lucky man, majakarot. Willie 59 is a major contributor of knowledge, wisdom, & kindness. Between he, alrman of the down under, and some other folks like oldman, you get anything fixed on an old Case on this forum. Merry Christmas to you all and may all your leaks be small...

    Roughest 580ck ain't moving!

    I've been lucky so far as all my glan nuts have been relatively loose. I'm sure I'm going to have to make a tool pretty soon, or buy one. Incidently, the last one needed a punch in one of the wrench holes to convince it to loosen. I'd try a 5 inch pipe wrench I had one or could borrow one...

    Roughest 580ck ain't moving!

    Keithw, I feel your greasiness. I'm convinced that one spends the rest of his days fixing leaks on these ol hoes. I was lucky last year and able to buy four spare cylinders for $30 each. I've got a bucket cylinder to put on and my dipper cylinder is leaking. Just rebuild a swing cylinder this...

    Roughest 580ck ain't moving!

    Thanks for the sympathy, Keithw. We're digging pretty good now. Fixing leaks in cylinders, blowing old hoses, etc. That's the stuff you expect. I gotta tackle the leaks at the spindles of the backhoe. Haven't addressed the over heating yet. It hesitates going into reverse when it warms up but...

    JNL, I think you got thee max. I think mine's about that length but it's in hard copy. It wern't cheep! Hope your 500PSi guage is calibrated in small enough increments to read. Mine's piped into where the regular stcok dash guage went. Good luck, Packratc

    Case 580 CK brake trouble

    I should have been paying more attention. I don't know if the brakes have anything to do with the manual clutch setup. Do you Alrman? I do think you'll be better off with the new springs to keep the linnings in place. If Alrman gets on the job, he knows his stuff. Good luck, Packratc

    Case 580CK injector pump priming?

    Loosen the fuel line that goes to the injectors, and see if fuel has gotten through the pump. If it has, retighten & loosen the line at the first injector. Turn the engine over with the starter until fuel comes out of the line at the injector. Keep cranking until there are no bubbles. When...

    Here he is, finally, the Grand Pooh Pah of the 580CK and all others of yellow color, he finally shows up to render aid to a friend in need. And what does he do? He comments on my lame attempt to help and he comments on my writing. AND, advises me not to drink corn whiskey. Give me a brake...

    Case 580 CK brake trouble

    Sorry should have looked closer to illustration above. Please refer to picture #50 above. It says "attach band retractor springs to the band ears." Are your band retractor springs in place? packratc
