    Case 580 Super L hydraulic issue

    Alrman I wondered what that port was for. So before I unload the hoe off the trailer I usually just reach back pull the boom up and latch. Well the last few times it has stalled. I never turn the rpms up when I do it so I’m not sure what changed. Hydraulic oil is thicker this time of year maybe...

    Case 580 Super L hydraulic issue

    Weak hydraulics when first started stalls the engine? How and where to install pressure gauge to check relief valve? Might even just put a permanent gauge on for the filter .. is that a good idea or not? If I see a pressure drop across the filter I know it needs changed??

    How about the dt466? Guy is selling a 99 international 4900 dt466 with 323,000 miles for 10,000 bucks. Seems high but in great shape. I don’t like that it’s automatic but gvw is 25,500. Thoughts? Hp is 195 and so was the one I just sold haha so would I be in the same boat? Or different motor...

    99 International 4700 T444e

    I like the size of the dump truck is the reason I would like to keep it. Would 20hp make a difference or would I just be throwing my money away?

    Looking to make my little dump truck more enjoyable to drive. It will run good once the she’s rolling but getting it going is the problem.its rated at 190hp, I called international and they will bump the hp up to 210 for $800.00 with the stock turbo and stock injectors. My question is if I would...

    Case 580 Super L hydraulic issue

    Everything seems to be working great.. I’m still going to add the additive like alrman suggested but as far as sticking or screeching all is smooth. Still working on the erratic swing issue but seems to be working itself out after putting that Lucas hydraulic booster in. Thank you everyone for...
