    Hello To Everyone

    Presently we only equip machines with powershift transmissions because of all the safety features that we have to build in to meet MOL standards. Standard shift tractors present some safety issues and with the age of standard shift machines we do not feel this is a market worth going after. The...

    580B Filter and fluid question

    Everything I listed is relevant to the turque/shuttle powertrain. The torque is in the front of the torque tube next to the flywheel. The power shuttle is at the rear of the torque tube right below the steering column. The pump and pickup are centre below the fuel tank. It is not uncommon for...

    Bobcat S250 ACS code on dash

    Shane, Thanks for the reply. I found out how to retreive codes by a google search. bobcatmechanic, you are correct. I talked to some guys and found out how the system works. It was an actuator but I could not install as the software was at 49 and the new actuator required 63. I had to refer...

    580B Filter and fluid question

    The 580B takes 80/90 GL5 gear oil in the trans/diff compartment. It can use Dexron III in the power shuttle or Hytrans or Hydraulic/Transmission fluid. Regular hydraulic fluid can be used in the hydraulic tank. ISO 32, 46 etc are fine. Remember the shuttle filter up in front of the rad when...

    Cat or Case

    I find these responses very interesting. I have been servicing Case for 25 years and have yet to change any pins and bushings that were wore prematurely. A benchmark for pin and busing inspection is 4500 hours, untill this point you do not even have to be concerned. The only reason for poor pins...

    injector removal

    As Goose said there is a special tool. You can ,if you are very carefull, remove them with a prybar but as stated be very carefull as they bend easy. A "heel" type bar inserted under the fuel inlet pipe and a "bent" type prybar inserted into the groove in the injector body will work as long as...

    Bobcat S250 ACS code on dash

    We have a Bobcat S250 with the ACS code on the dash. When it comes up it stops the loader from lifting or lowering. Shutting machine down then restarting clears code for a few seconds then it pops up again. Anyone ever had this issue? I am trying to help out one of our customers who has bought...

    My first backhoe - 580B

    I have a "junkyard fix" if the axle housing is damaged. As long as you only use the machine a little you can forgo machining the axle ends or getting a new axle. Just go to local hardware store and but some ABS plumbing pipe and use it as the bearings making sure to drill out the grease hole and...

    Daewoo DH50 - Loose Track

    Make sure that the fitting is tight. Not the small grease fitting but the larger diameter that the small grease fitting fits into. These have a tendancy to come loose and grease will seep out. Reach in and see if it turns loosely. If it does just tighten it back up. The seals are easy to...

    Assistance and advise?

    The blockheater is the best option. The grid heater is OK as long as you have the update wiring/relay package. If you can just plug in it is much better. You get some good cold where you live and will most likely have to plug in to start on the cold days even with a grid heater. Check out...

    Good place to buy parts/accessories

    A&I, Fawcett, Depco & Jr's are the best I have found for Case aftermarket. I am a dealer for all of these suppliers and have found that some of the "offshore" Depco parts are a little lacking but other stuff is top notch. A&I offers a few parts including glass as you mentioned but find them...
