    1997 Case 580 LE reverse wont work

    When I bench tested it it seemed to move freely but that may change under pressure when the machine is on. I'm now thinking to take the tube off one more time and have a closer look to see if these is any discrepancies in the tube itself or as you said, if it is slightly bent enough to prevent...

    1997 Case 580 LE reverse wont work

    Hi Katherine. Ive had the modulator off the unit and saw the little spring that you are talking about. I even thought at the time of taking out the spring thinking it could be the cause of the spool not coming all the way back to allow the fluid to pass by it and engage. I didn't take it out...

    1997 Case 580 LE reverse wont work

    Thanks for that one, I had a look at the spool valve and there are 3 small bolts that are for the tests . Its worth a shot to have them tested but the local Case mechanic here didn't have the right gear to do the tests and had to order one in, at my expense and the $$$$ started piling up.

    1997 Case 580 LE reverse wont work

    Thanks Alrman, yes, the oil I drained was a honey colour and the filter contained a bit of crap but the sludge on the spring looked and felt more like grease. I thought that when the mechanic suggested gear changing might help, I couldn't see how that would have affected the valve modulator but...

    1997 Case 580 LE reverse wont work

    Hi All, A bit of an update. Just another quick question. My Gear shift was sloppy and I could near spin it in my hand. I removed the gear shift control lever shaft and its housing and found a broken pin and the other was about to snap. The spring had no compression and the collar under that was...

    1997 Case 580 LE reverse wont work

    Thanks Alrman, This is valuable advice. Ive ordered gaskets and O ring seals for the unit. I was given a quote for $1690 for a reconditioned valve modulator but my machine piggy bank (and the minister of finance) is starting to drain. I have the workshop manual that gives step by step...

    1997 Case 580 LE reverse wont work

    Thanks JL and Tinkerer, I did get the workshop manual but it didn't help a great deal with trouble shooting. Alarman may have come to the rescue. Yes, the mechanic replaced the solenoids (the old ones were still ok though) and said he would do a pressure test and have a look at it at some stage...

    1997 Case 580 LE reverse wont work

    Thanks JL I'm hoping someone might have a bit of an idea what's going on with my machine. It's a bugger of a thing because otherwise the machine is in great condition. Cheers.

    1997 Case 580 LE reverse wont work

    Hi all, I’m hoping that someone may have some advice to my 1997 Case 580 LE with TLB1 shuttleshift reversing problem. The machine goes forward and 4wd perfectly. When engaged into forward it goes in within a second or so but sometimes might take 3 seconds, I have searched the forums and found...
