    Looking at a Case 570MXT Turbo

    Cool I was Just going to post a question if you bought it or not. That idle speed issue seems like you are on The right track. The nursery likely never used four wheel drive. Hopefully that’s an easy fix. Screaming deal with the cab and all the attachments, even if you have to get a little...

    Looking at a Case 570MXT Turbo

    That is a beautiful machine. Like you said with a cab! That really helps the electrics as well. The machine is not heavy and extra weight does help. The machines I see usually weigh the wheels with wheel weights in the well, and load the hitch area with plates as well. I have a pic I can post...

    Looking at a Case 570MXT Turbo

    I purchased my case 570 with 5700 hours on it so I don’t think the hours are too high. Price is around average for that model. I assume it is 4wd? The electrics are usually the only headaches I read about on here. Pay close attention to the bushings on the three point hitch look for loose...

    A descent days work for a rental backhoe.

    That springy deal with the boom is very eye opening the first couple of times.

    Case 1740 uniloader aux hydraulic engage

    I have a question about a 1740 skid steer, oldie but a goodie. I have a D100 backhoe attached and the only way I can get the aux to engage is by holding down the lever which is circled. Is there any lock for this ? So I don’t have to keep pressing down with my foot? I’m guessing I am missing...

    Case 570lxt seems to engage neutral after a few seconds

    Airman is a wealth of case machine knowledge and I’m glad he still comes by to offer help to us :) I had the same issues you described. My $ is on a relay losing contact or a wire behind the terminal that’s loose. That relay terminal under the loader control has a nasty habit of losing...

    Advice on a JCB 214S

    Oh golly I hate to say it...That eBay buyers protection deal was probably a scam. Most likely a fake site to input the information. The address was super close if I remember. I almost fell for it on a Ford super duty. They even had the vin and locations correct ( I did a carfax on it thats how...

    Case 480F brakes

    So I ended up throwing in the towel. Not really worth the agrevation since it is someone else’s machine, and I cannot justify getting that deep for horse tack. Mobile mechanic stopped by and found that the piston actuator down by the brake housing was stuck and not working. Probably what was...

    Case 480F brakes

    That would be nice not to pull the floor off. I was looking underneath today, seeing what I can get to. I have a service manual for a 480c. Some noticeable differences between it and the F series.

    Case 480F brakes

    That sounds exactly what I will need to do. Thanks for the heads up. I have been reading about it being a bear to pull the floor. That gives me hope I might be able to clean it up and have it working again.

    Case 480F brakes

    Yep I got those off. The sleeve #16 on the drawing is what seems to not want to come off. Time and whatever has stuck the lever and the sleeve together. I’m guessing some heat might help loosen her up?

    Case 480F brakes

    Have a new job at a ranch nearby and the owner is trading me some tack to look at the skip loader they have. Left brake operates normal. Right brake pedal has hardly any travel and no braking. Figured I need to inspect master cylinders for anything blocking its movement. I am having a hard time...

    Case 580B, Dumb operating question.

    Thanks for posting this link. I am going to buy a couple of those for my loader. Much better than modifying a hook to weld flat

    The lion, the witch, and the wood chips

    Have not had much trouble with the gannon before ...Just installed new blades. The wood is spongy allowing the tractor to vary a couple of inches in height. I’m at 2”-3” depth with grindings. The blade no matter how delicately I operate it tends to just collect and drag it as I start touching...

    The lion, the witch, and the wood chips

    Yeah those Percheron and Belgiuns are monsters. I used to drive teams with both of those breeds. We have not had any rain in Scottsdale for a couple of months. My place was a dustbowl riding. I am on hauled water at 4cents a gallon. Wells are garbage up here. Had to try and find some decent...

    The lion, the witch, and the wood chips

    Will look at that arena drag you mentioned. I have usually been able to get by with careful use of gannon. This is the first time I got really frustrated with a material, and the curses were flying.

    The lion, the witch, and the wood chips

    Thanks for that. I have a chain harrow it tends to catch on the panels or whatever else so did not use. I will find a smaller one and give it a go. Appreciated.
