    580B shuttle oil change

    This is my first time to drain the shuttle. I drained my shuttle oil and about 3 gallons came out. Surprising to me it was still a bit golden and looked good with no water. I peeked in to remove the allen screw at the torque converter and there is a threaded casting inside the hole that had...

    poor man's spool valve repair

    After spending $150 at the local John Deere dealer and them telling me they cannot repair my Case spool valve I came up with my own engineering. My bucket curl function would slowly creep down making using the forks for carrying pallets risky to say the least. I made several calls to...

    spool loader leak down

    Hi guys, It's been months since I've posted, but I'm back. My 1975 Case 580b has an annoying leakdown in the front bucket and digger bucket on the boom tower. I took it to John Deere (no case dealer around) to see if they could fix it, and they diagnosed leaking spool valve assemblies...

    parts catalog link 580B

    I know it's been posted somewhere, but my searches come up empty. What is the link to the Case parts diagram website? I had it and lost it. Many Google attempts have not gotten me back to the diagram site. I'm looking for a wiring diagram for a 1975 580b CK backhoe. I can't get my brake...

    digging bucket smooth blade

    I couldn't find a smooth blade for my digging bucket, so I just made one and bolted it on to the teeth. 3 minutes on and 3 minutes off when needed. I used it last week to find a sewer line in my yard. I hit the line, dented it but didn't bust it open because of the smooth end. 4 weeks ago I...

    580b makes a noise in 4th gear

    When I travel in 4th gear, low range my tractor will roll just fine until I put on the brakes. Then it sometimes sounds like all hell is breaking loose inside the transaxle. The tractor shakes and grinds. Let off the brakes, it coasts fine. Sometimes it makes the same noise when starting off...

    580B digging action got really slow

    I spent Saturday morning digging out a big stump. As I was digging the action of the bucket, tower, and arm became really slow. Engine temp was ok, rpm was about 1700. It began the work normally, but after 30 minutes I noticed the difference. If you remember I changed my hyd fluid and filter...

    made my forks

    $92 worth of iron and a full day cutting, shaping, and welding. I can hook on or off from the tractor seat. I may attach chains at the bottom if I need to stab something and dump it over without the forks pivoting out. I made them about a foot below the bucket so I can see their position from...

    smooth bucket edge

    What is a good way to attach a smooth edge to the end of the backhoe bucket teeth? I have a drainage ditch I need to clean out and just want to skim the topsoil and sediment out. Any home brewed stuff is appreciated. It shouldn't be to hard to fabricate. David

    What are these set screws (case 580B)

    What are the set screws with lock nuts below them? They are not shown in the CNH 35 loader diagram. I'm still trying to stop my bucket leak down creep I posted about 2 weeks ago and will begin to trouble shoot the valve circuit. Thanks, David

    where does the hydrolic oil go?

    Ok, be kind to me. I am learning. I fixed a leaking valve on my dipper assembly and about 3 qts of oil came out. I caught it in a clean container and want to put it back in. Where does it go? It appears to go in frame assembly for the front end loader, but I am not ashamed to ask. If it...

    580B check valves leak down

    The digger bucket will not stay closed when used as a hoist or grapple. We have to keep pulling the lever to retract it. It must be some leaky rings in the hydrolic manifold block. How difficult is it to DIY some valve work on this. I attached a CNH diagram of the block. What are the...

    How to lock the boom, 580B

    One thing I can't really get good at is locking the boom on my 580b. I have to run full throttle and bring it up from the ground, then right before it gets to the locking cam, throw the lever forward to get it to catch. It takes me 6 to 9 attempts to get this to lock. The driver that...

    looking for a case backhoe, reprise, GOT ONE!

    I bought a 580B. I decided to quit looking for L's super L's M's, auctions, etc. I bought from an individual who really cared for it and was very helpful in showing me all its quirks, etc. The machine runs great. All the cylinders have been repacked, 4 new tires, and new battery. I'm going...

    need opinion of this 580L

    I have a chance to bid on a 2000 model 580L in San Antonio. That is worth a $1500 hauling savings to me right of the bat. I went and looked at it this morning. The yard manager said the fuel pump was out and wouldn't start. The hoe has 2100 hours, numerous leaks on the cylinders. There was...

    Case 580 vs 590

    I did a search and found nothing. What is the difference in the models? I looked at some specs and they were almost identical. David

    looking for a Case backhoe

    Hi folks, I'm a newbie and have searched hours through the archives and decided a Case 580 is what I need. I've found two. The first one is a 580d and the seller's wife responded to two emails as follows: My husband is asking $14,500.00 it is a extend a hoe and has a fork lift...
