    16v149 Blowers

    I have a pair of Detroit diesel 16v149 (8927895) blowers that I bought in order to get some other blowers that I wanted. I have been told that these would have been on mining equipment, which makes sense due to the size of the engines. These things are bigger than anything I would ever work on...

    Max grade for a Case 580B

    I have some property up in the mountains. I have had my 8N up there, then later my Case 530. Both did okay at the property but struggled going up my road, which has a 22% grade for about 200 yards. Both of those tractors were manual transmission, and the 530 also had the Hi/Low box and manual...

    Ritchie Bros Phx Auction Results

    I was looking at the auction results for the RB auction in Phoenix last night. I must say that I was surprised by how high most of the results were. Most of the big equipment is out of my range of experience for prices, but even water tanks, fuel tanks, and little 4 wheelers were high. I saw...

    580B 3 pt R/V problem

    I am looking at the 3 pt hydraulics on my 580B with an eye toward pulling the 3pt off to split the tractor, then install my hoe. What I found appears to be a secondary relief valve, installed, I assume, because the primary R/V failed. So, how to go about a legitimate fix? I can't seem to...

    580B shuttle rebuild

    I think I have discovered the reason my 580 has stopped moving well. Whe I drained the oil and and drilled the hole to clean the pickup screen I took a magnet and fished around before putting the plugs back in. What I found looks to bee the remains of a torrington bearing of som sort. A little...

    72 580B transmission issues

    There is a 1972 Case 580B CK.near me for sale for 4 grand. It looks to be decent. Said to run well and no hydraulic issues. It states that it needs a transmission. I assume this is a shuttle shift tranny, not a gear box like on my 530. It would be an upgrade from my 530 if working, so I will...

    Case 530 CK steering turns right and stuck.

    I was moving some dirt today in my Case 530ck with the gas motor. I had a load in the front loader going through a narrow gate. There is a 6” hole that the left front tire dropped into. As the tire bumped the other side of the hole it bumped the steering to the right a little, then the steering...

    I have been driving 2500 trucks with a welder in the back as a contractor for about 15 years now. I do residential and commercial doors, stairs, gates, railings, etc. i started with my equipment on a small trailer, but found it was a pain when I needed a big trailer too, to haul whatever I was...

    Nissan CF70 transmission issue

    I have a Nissan 70 forklift. It had some engine work done but then wouldn’t go into gear. They replaced the wiring harness, ignition switch, and a few other items but then gave up before it would move again. After having it towed to my shop I check the parking brake switch and found it to be...

    Inverting forklift wheels

    I am getting ready to change the tires on my Cat V40 forklift. The wheels that are on it have an offset on them that puts them nearly flush with the hubs on the outside. My fenders stick out beyond the tires several inches. The tires still clear the mast by several inches. I am wondering if I...

    Cat V40 B forklift

    I just purchased a Cat V40B. It is not at the shop yet, so I am guessing at the model number. It is an LP flat head 4, 2 speed manual transmission. I can't seem to buy anything with good tires, and the solid rubber tires on this lift are pretty slick. I am planning on buying some new...

    Case 3 pt links and leveling box ?s

    The left side link on the 3pt on my Case 530 is shot, both yoke have weld all over them. The leveling box shaft is also bent up and not working. I may be able to repair the leveling box, but will have to get it apart first. I can buy new yokes, but they run nearly $100 each, plus the rod.the...

    Case 530 loader filter

    I changed the fluid in my loader, and attempted to change the filter. I could not get the housing off, and cracked the base at the mounting holes. Not sure if I am going to be able to get it apart or not. What are my options for installing an aftermarket filter head on this? So long as the...

    My NEW Case 530

    Recently bought this Case 530. This replaces the Case 1845B, which replaced my Ford 8N. I originally sold my 8N and Cat forklift and went to a skidsteer that I built a forklift front end for. The idea was to shrink the amount of equipment that I had to maintain. The only problem was that...

    Add D130 hoe to Case 530

    I sold my Case 1845 B skid steer the other day and bought a Case 530 tractor and front loader. My D130 backhoe didn't sell with the skidsteer though, so I still have it. What is the possibility of mounting my D130 hoe on my 530? I can fab up a bracket, as I did for the skidsteer, so that...

    Backhoe finally off of my case 1845b

    I had made the bracket to mount my D-130 backhoe onto my Case 1845B, and had rigged it on there using my forklift. My forklift got sold before I got the hydraulics connected to my skidder, so there it sat stuck and unuseable. I was going to use my portable power unit, but the motor went bad, so...

    D-130 hoe mounts on Case 1845B

    Well I finally managed to get my hoe mounted up to my skidder. I built the bracket based on the factory bracket. It took a little doing to get it on there, as I don't have the hydraulic power connected yet. Need to get some hoses and a valve.

    Connecting used backhoe

    I bought a very lightly used D-130 backhoe last year. I finally found the time to fab the brackets to mount it to my Case 1845B. The backhoe has been sitting outside with the inlet and outlet hose capped, so it is not full of dirt/water, but I don't know what type/condition the oil is in. The...
