    580se Power Shuttle & TC Advice

    Would you care to share those specs ? My local Case dealer wants $150 flat rate to align it using his tool. I have never done it , but I guess it takes all of ten minutes ? I would like to make my own also.

    Whats the general opinion on "Broken Tractor" stuff? Anybody use their stuff? I think I am going to buy a master rebuild shuttle kit with a torque converter for my 580C. any opinions ? Their prices seem reasonable.

    I have been using "traveler" from TS also. I only got my hoe last summer and have not run it a lot. I noticed when it gets warmed up sometimes it will slip in the higher gears. I check the oil level and its always good. I am thinking I need to replace the clutch discs.

    thanks Dave. Case doesnt say much about their TCH oil. They do say to use it in the hyd sys. so I assumed regular hyd oil would work in the trans.

    case 580C 3rd&4th gear slipping.

    Hi new to this equipment. My 580c slips in 3rd or 4th gear after running a while. Fluid is ok. What can I check. I have heard a complete fluid change can help. Anyone have this problem? Its a shuttle type. The manual says use TCH fluid. I assume that is hydraulic fluid? Correct ?

    Case 580c add-ons

    Hi Mr 580, I also have a 580c and want to build a thumb. How did you add the hydraulic controls in the cab for the thumb ? Please expand on the diverter valve. Where to obtain , and how to mount, etc. Any pics and tech data would be very helpful.
