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

    These things had so many different styles of transmissions, it's hard to figure what you have. I have the style that has a torque convertor and the fwd/rev shifter on the left side of the steering wheel. If you have the same style as mine,, you need to pull the little cast oil pan off the...

    06 JCB 214s Battery light and warning light come on only when being given gas.

    Try not to pull the battery cables with the engine running on any vehicle or piece of equipment. It's bad practice and can smoke any electronics that happen to be in the electrical system. Been there, done that. You can spray some 3M spray adhesive on the belts as a test to see if that stops...

    Case 580c 2 piece piston questions

    Speaking in general terms, most seals will have a "flare" to them on their OD or ID. It usually flares out on the side with the groove. As you push directly on the flare, it gets pressed tighter and seals tighter. So on the seal that you can see outside on the gland nut when it's all put...

    Case 580C Backhoe Control Valve reseal....

    P.S. If you get into this can you take some pictures and share your experience? I have a leak up in there somewhere also. I also noticed one of my stabilizer arms is suddenly falling in a hour or so. I am wondering if it's trying to tell me that might be where the leak is, that cylinder has...

    Case 580C Backhoe Control Valve reseal....

    I was told you can go too slow on the revs also. If I hear the pump moaning I will kick the engine rpms up some, and it quits doing it.

    Purchasing first TLB and need advice

    It's real encouraging talk in here buying new equipment. But they are correct, we have a newer track hoe at work and it quit running. The factory certified repair guy had to come in hassled with it and on the phone with the factory for several days, and they finally had to replace the whole...

    Not another hydraulic fluid question! Sorry

    I have a 480c with the shuttle shift transmission. That means the lever on the left side of the steering wheel to go forward and reverse. The shuttle shift transmission is right behind the engine, and has it's own fluid. You fill it through the metal tube where the dipstick is located on the...

    Kubota

    P.S. Is a BX25 the same as a BX25 dbl? There is a diagram in the BX25 manual in that link above.

    I can't find a diagram. Did find a operators manual here. Maybe you can find something in this link. https://www.kubotabooks.com/AutoIndex/index.php?dir=Tractor%20Owners%20Manuals/

    Adding Hydraulic Thumb to Backhoe

    Here's a valve to select two different cylinders. If you click on the instructions link it has a diagram of how it hooks up. https://www.surpluscenter.com/Brands/Prince-Mfg/3-4-NPT-30-GPM-Prince-Double-Selector-Valve-DS-4A1E-9-6131.axd

    Adding Hydraulic Thumb to Backhoe

    There are some good threads on here somewhere with people talking about doing other hydraulic shenanigan's to get a thumb added without all the added hydraulic line. I think someone added tee fittings into the bucket curl lines with shut-off valves? When you wanted to use the thumb you got out...

    Adding Hydraulic Thumb to Backhoe

    I know enough about hydraulics to get myself in trouble, but I would think the flow rate of the valve would be at a rated pressure, wide open ports with nothing connected to it. The lines and fittings would reduce this flow rate depending on their number and size. Someone can correct me if I...

    Adding Hydraulic Thumb to Backhoe

    You can buy flow control valves like these to make the speed adjustable. https://www.surpluscenter.com/Hydraulics/Hydraulic-Valves/Flow-Control-Valves/Inline-Needle-Valves/3-8-NPT-8-GPM-Wolverine-by-Prince-WFC-600-In-Line-Flow-Control-9-7960-6.axd

    case 580c misfire question

    Is this your own idea or a factory procedure? I believe you are supposed to adjust the injector pop pressure like was previously done in this thread.
