    580K backhoe moves to right

    I have a 580K. Just got it and am fixing it up. The backhoe was working fine. The main cylinder (ram) that raises and lowers the hoe blew a seal on the ram. I had cylinder resealed. Works great now.....except, now the hoe sweeps to the right side. That is, if I am sitting hoe, the boom...

    Case 580K Brake issue

    Okay I took swetz advice and it is brake fluid. I drained all the fluid out and am going to flush and refill with proper fluid. Maybe I’ll get lucky and perhaps the brake fluid did not ruin the seals. When I opened the bleed valve the pedal resumed travel to end of stroke. The actuator and the...

    580B Shuttle problem?

    this is an update on this post that I started several years ago. What I finally determinded part of the problem was, and a large part of it, was the filter in front of the radiator. I had changed it previously ( only a short time ago) and never again suspected that could be the problem...
