    580D Runs Rough

    If your ground strap to the battery is attached to the frame on the other end, then get a long battery cable made up and attach the negative ground end to the bolt that holds the starter on. You will be surprised at how much faster the engine turns over to start. This solved all of the...

    Need info on lift/bucket valve on case 580C

    Thanks for the suggestions fellas, and I did do some additional searching. But before I could sort out a solution, a member here contacted me saying he had the exact valve out of a machine that had been in a fire. It was his second spare so he sent me a picture, and after confirmation,...sent...

    Hunting loader control valve case 580C or parts

    Need 1978 Case 580 C loader control valve, or some parts. It's a Parker model. Two spool. Previous owner lost the centering spring retainer seats on the lift spool. Also lost the detent spring. Would be interested in whole valve unit or parts. Rough is ok, as long as I can get the pieces I...

    Need info on lift/bucket valve on case 580C

    Thought a few pictures might help. Here is a shot of the parts manual showing the parts of the lifting spool. Then the second shot shows the workshop manual showing the spring and it's retainers expanded. Why isn't there a part number for these spring retainers? Also,...it looks like one is...

    Need info on lift/bucket valve on case 580C

    Well, the last thing I need to do on my 1978 case 580C is to sort out the loader valve. It's a parker valve (although I've heard there is sometimes another brand used also) The problem is that the previous owner had taken the lift spool apart and lost two parts, possibly three. The centering...

    Cam interchange Case 188/207

    That's a big help. The part numbers are the same. So I can safely assume the cam profiles are the same too. The block is a replacement so I had it cooked, cleaned, all the oil galleys rodded and brushed, and new cam bearings installed. This is a major rebuild to new specs. It ran ok...

    Cam interchange Case 188/207

    I am wondering if the cams are the same between a Case 188 and 207 Diesel engine. I know it will fit, but is the cam profile the same? I have the 207 parts manual so I know the part number of that one. I don't have the 188 parts book so I can't check to see if the part numbers are the same...

    Can a Case 188 block be a donor for a cracked 207 block?

    Ok,...well,..I did talk to Dale. Now I know why you guys think so highly of him, what a great guy. He really knows his Case info. Turns out there are some 188 blocks that will work with the 207 internals. The difference is in the side of the block casting. The right ones have "bumps" out of...

    Can a Case 188 block be a donor for a cracked 207 block?

    Thanks guys. I will check out the contact given tomorrow and see what he says. As far as symptoms,..it was obvious. When I drove it down my lane (yes, it was a running engine believe it or not) once I got down the lane and I got off the backhoe I noticed a huge issuance of sludge/fudge...

    Can a Case 188 block be a donor for a cracked 207 block?

    First time poster, but I have checked the forum search here for previous threads on this subject. I found a few but they all were kinda short on specifics. I have a 1978 Case 580C backhoe that I just bought (got it for relatively cheap) and the block is shot. It has the 207D non turbo...
