    Case 480c TLB doesn't want to move.

    I was moving dirt yesterday and today when I started it up I could get it to move. After running about 5 minutes it would just creep forward or backwards. There was no increase in speed when throttled. I need to figure out if it's the clutch or the shuttle. I don't see a drain on the shuttle or...

    Need some tips on getting to the fittings inside boom casting--Case 480C

    I'm working through several recent issues with this machine since it's been sitting for 5 years. The recent thing is the 4 hoses that go from under the hoe attachment up through the boom casting. One is leaking but if I can figure out how to get to the fittings I'm going to replace all 4. The...

    Case 480c outriggers won't lift tractor

I checked fluid level and I had to add about a gallon but I had the loader extended and the boom and dipper. If anyone could point me in the right direction I'd...

    Thoughts on adding lift pump to case 480c?

    Firstly the reason I'm thinking about adding one is because I need to put a temporary tank on this. Just to be clear I don't have a fueling issue, I have a rusty tank issue. The temporary tank has a draw straw so there won't be any gravity feeding. It will also be on the fender so not very...

    Case 480c swing is slow.

    Got this running after a few years sitting and the swing pedal were kind of stuck. I put some weight on one and heard a really loud pop. Now they are working but really slow. It almost seemed like they were locked or something. Anyone ever seen this? Everything else is moving good, although I...

    Manually lift Case 480c loader?

    First time in about 8 years it won’t start. I need to lift the loader bucket so I can have better access to the engine. My question is…do I need to bypass the hydraulics to lift it? I’m not sure if there is such a thing. I just didn’t want to lift it and find out I damaged something. Thanks...

    Stahl Service crane manual needed

    I'm not sure if I should post here but I'll start with this one. I picked up a Stahl 6000 LRX service crane the other day and need a service manual. I'm having trouble getting one from the local dealer or he is having trouble I should say. If anyone has one or could point me in the right...
