    Case 580k won't start without ether after sitting over 24 hours

    so I'm waiting on parts to come in and I checked my book this morning and I have a different diagram then the one you posted. Any idea why that might be? And this is the book the previous owner gave me

    Case 580k won't start without ether after sitting over 24 hours

    I've got a new mechanical lift pump coming and plan to remove the electric one entirely. I replaced the fuel filter and water separator and they came with new O-rings. I think the original fuel cap is gone. The one on it now looks like its from a pickup truck(plastic and it ratchets so you cant...

    Case 580k won't start without ether after sitting over 24 hours

    Yes I do have a manual. And I have bleed air from the fuel system many times now. Fuel does flow thru the electric pump even with it off. The electric pump pushes the fuel into the mechanical lift pump(which may not work) then into the injection pump. After the tractor has been sitting for more...

    Case 580k won't start without ether after sitting over 24 hours

    There is no in-line filter, I've checked. The electric pump is almost as low as the bottom of the tank. With the electric pump not running, I can take the fuel line off after the pump and fuel flows freely through it.

    Case 580k won't start without ether after sitting over 24 hours

    It usually starts for 1 second or less then dies and will not restart without ether. It has a rotary injection pump on the timing case, a diaphragm style lift pump on the side of the block and an in line (aftermarket) clicky style electric pump. I did not install the electric pump. I assume the...

    Case 580k won't start without ether after sitting over 24 hours

    ya its definitely got no filter(#8), I've probably got the previous owner to thank for that. As for #12 Is that on the end of the return line?

    Case 580k won't start without ether after sitting over 24 hours

    Where would the check valve be located? Because the hard line from the tank to the mechanical lift pump has be replaced with rubber hose. And there is no in-line filter. Its getting air in the system, I have to bleed it before I try to start it everyday.

    Case 580k won't start without ether after sitting over 24 hours

    I just recently bought a 87 case 580k with the 4bt cummins non-turbo, and when it sits for more than 24 hours it has trouble starting. I believe it is getting air in the fuel system. I have changed the fuel level sensor(it didn't work before), so it has plenty of fuel and the fuel looks good, no...

    Looking for exhaust manifold for a 1958 Huber-Warco grader

    I recently purchased this 1958 Huber-Warco grader/Maintainer. It has the Continental GD157 4 cylinder diesel engine. I'm struggling to find almost any parts for it online or in local parts stores. I am mainly looking for a exhaust/intake manifold. Any info on where to find one, new or used. Or...
