    Case 580C Backhoe Transmission Forward-Reverse REVERSAL after Lucas Transmission Fix

    Welcome to HEF @SR220noob The shuttle oil level needs to be checked with the engine idling. I doubt the can of Lucas has really done any good. Did the old oil you drained smell burnt? I think a service manual will serve you better than a you tube video.

    480F brakes

    The movement could be in the side gears or bull pinion gears OR the small diff lock seal. Rocking the rear wheels won't tell you if that is the issue. You check those gears when the brake covers are off & brakes are out of the machine.

    Case 580c shuttle issue

    Welcome to HEF @Brad_Alvord98 Unfortunately, the forward clutch pack is toasted due to a broken bellville washer/spring. This causes the pack to lock into forward with the broken bits of washer interlocking together, hence causing drive when in neutral & not driving anywhere in reverse. (fwd &...

    Case 580 sle hydraulics loading engine when nothing opetated

    Welcome to HEF @Richard Hayward Is there any electrically operated auxiliary valves fitted to the machine & possibly activated? Some SLE's had a small aux lever next to the Backhoe controls. It has a swing around lock tab (item #15) fitted to hold the lever & valve open - sometimes someone has...

    Sticky boom swing - 580 SK.

    Take a close look at the cam follower roller, located under the upper swing tower pin. Is it siezed? Does it have any flat spots? Does it follow the cam properly all the way through the cycle?

    580M Bell Housing Hole

    The small plug from a 44 gallon oil drum screws straight in there. No harm in leaving it open on a hoe. Have had problems with crawler dozer/loaders that use the Cummins 4b/6b. When they sink into a deep, wet bog hole, the mud would enter that hole, go up behind the flywheel & enter the...

    Case 580K front bucket operating levers

    There is a linkage on the RHS of loader frame for bucket levelling. The linkage goes to a pivot on the side & through the hydraulic tank - make sure the pivot is moving freely & not seized.

    2017 Case SR210 dumped all hydraulic fluid, how do I raise the cab?

    Unfortunately, you do need to raise the loader frame to tilt the cabin. I'm not sure it's a good idea to raise a snow plow up that high, but I live in Australia & that isn't something I've ever had to deal with. In this situation I disconnect the loader lift hoses, at the cylinders, but on...

    Case 580 super k: overheating power shuttle fluid

    Those are thrust washers for the hemesphere gears in the diff centre. They have had an update to a different shape to avoid them cracking at the locating crimped area. (see below) That spring is a mystery - out of the control valve for sure. You should not be operating the loader in 3rd or 4th -...

    Case 580K Brakes Sticking

    There are return springs inside the brake cylinders. Are the boots still on the cylinders? - these keep moisture out of the cylinders. The brake cylinders could be rusty. Are you using mineral/hydraulic oil in the master cylinders? (not brake fluid) Brake cylinders could just be gummed up & need...

    Case 850b 4bt conversion

    Distance from fan to radiator will also need to be considered. The 850D used the 6-590 engine. In saying that, the 850B chassis will be different to the D.

    Case 1840 with Cummins 4-390 - Lots of coolant in oil, but zero oil in coolant

    There are a couple of welsh/expansion/casting/freeze plugs located behind the engine side cover. It's well worth checking those before you get too carried away pulling the head etc. They are supposed to be stainless, but that doesn't mean that they are.... item #8

    No start issue with my 580K case backhoe.

    Welcome to HEF @Rick James On a 580K, the starter relay is located under the hood release flap. Looking down into the area under the flap, there are two relays on LHS, below the hyd filler cap, if I recall correctly. One is for starter & other is for return to dig. You can swap them to check...

    Case 450 hard starting and smokes

    I only have a schematic for the same setup on the earlier 4B engine which uses the same injector pump. The 450 series 3 parts book shows the same set up with the cold start advance solenoid. Shows one power wire which splits - one to the fuel shut off solenoid & the other to the coolant...
