1973 case 580b

Here is my 580b.Just picked it up from south of Ottawa.The guy who owned prior to me was running it without a charging system so I just finished rewiring her and replaced all the lights and the alternator.Replaced the front tires and fixed a few small problems but it works and is all there.

Hey, dangit. The 580b is a good machine very simple and easy to maintain and she looks to be a great condition.

Hey, dangit. As stated by cat980 my 580SE is as far from a Caddy as it can get, but for a 24 year old machine she does a good job. And gpap123 Thats a pretty nice JCB you have there what model is she ?? and what size front tires does she have i have bigger than normal fronts on my 580 they are 14 x17.5 NHS

She is 1986! We bought her in 1993, replaced the gearbox, and after that we are so much satisfied, no serious damages at all. Laast year i replaced the hydraulic pump. Now i am thinking to replace it with a new one...
The tyres front and rear are bigger than normal, i cannot remember excactly the number, i will check it. It costs me less maneuvrability but bigger tyres have an advantage in the mud!

My backhoe.

It's a 1966 MF 200 where you sit on top and the old 4 stick control. It's old, ot that pretty, but it digs and I love it.

Hi all,

Just finished a session of seal kits on the stick & swing [5] then yesterday the four remaining for the front, plus tidy a few minor bugs out of the way, only a few to go, then well here in Oz unusually we have a big Winter // Spring on and I made a three inch track just moving into this position near my workshop, rained another two inches today and its sinking in place.

Never turn down rain - it feeds us and too many years of drought under the belt. :thumbsup

Just out of curiosity, what are the differences between that machine and one here in the USA? I see it's got a sideshift hoe on it, I've seen a very few of them here. Does it shift hydraulicly (as in have it's own control and cylinders to shift it)? Also, I notice the cab looks different than the K's and L's here. Is that the original paint? The K's here had the brown color cab with a case yellow type top, then they went to the gray with the L's. I'm just kinda curious about the differences.
