    Has anyone tried the new style CASE backhoe rubber bumper?

    Yes the one on my 580SK has recently failed and I need a solution too as the boom bumps all the time in transit and is pretty annoying. How much is it too?

    Pictures of your Backhoe!!!!!

    Six years ago this machine was the prior role equivalent. Can it be six years? I think daylight saving must have erased one month from our year for it to feel 'just the other day'; Then again it is true!

    Turning/Barring tool number for a "Classic" Deere 310?

    Interesting thread; Here in "outback" Australia it can be a CASE of make do with what you have and using a basic workshop I built a barring tool for our EU made 580SK to return the injector pump after its full rebuild. Whilst not the same / similar for what it is worth; There is a discussion on...

    Tips for removing nut on hydraulic cylinder

    Interesting thread; I had one cylinder of the thirteen I rebuilt which couldn't be budged; Namely the dipper cylinder shaft with its 1.25" UNF bolt. I welded an impact socket to a bar and pulled it with my wheel tractor's blade. It came away smoothly and has been rebuilt using the same...

    New rear tyres / tires on our 580SK

    Hi all, Today we had our local tyre company fit a pair of MAXAM 16.9x28 (440/80-28) in 14 ply. They seem a good replacement for the MRF (MuscelRok's from India) which came with the 580SK in 2010, however one (with a tube fitted) began to leak quite quickly last month. We are an hour from...

    Case 580 SL SM Front Axle King Pins

    Crikey alrman; The pins in our "SK" have some movement and I have grease pouring out of the gap between the planetary housing and the axle. Think I might turf them next time I am getting some parts in. Cheers and thanks.

    This is a great thread and over here in Australia we rather like our side-shift machines' which in the case of CASE emanate from Europe.

    CASE 580SK Injector Pump Rebuild *in the nick of time* !

    I made a tool to remove the timing gear. Just a simple plate of 8MM steel would do by two 10mm drill holes at 34MM centres; The bolt is just 35MMx8MM in HT does the job. ==============================================================...

    CASE 580SK Injector Pump Rebuild *in the nick of time* !

    Hi all, luckily it was raining here at times today so I decided to rebuild between showers (not enough to really alter the drought but better than nowt'). All went well and after a little priming and cranking we had ignition. As Bob tipped the main rack shaft might need trimming and as there...

    CASE 580SK Injector Pump Rebuild *in the nick of time* !

    In an hour of workshop 'rehab' I turned out this CASE Barring tool for the bell housing on our Backhoe. Thanks to Bob (our Diesel Guru) for the donated starter motor from a Ford V8; Most appreciated. It is quite amazing how easy it is to turn the engine with this, even by hand with the rear...

    CASE 580SK Injector Pump Rebuild *in the nick of time* !

    Super; You are right it can be done, although I have always been wary of injector pumps, hygiene and messing it up somehow. Over time I have only had two into our local Diesel Guru and the first one is working superbly; Maybe tomorrow I will fit this second one to our backhoe as stock work...

    Case 680G backhoe project: squad

    Strewth ! With all those shiny new parts it is going to be too good to get dirty from all that dust our Climate (globally warmed that is) delivers these days; Can't follow a Kelpie across a paddock a day after rain now with out dust / sadly. Best of with the build; Fun and production there for...

    CASE 580SK Injector Pump Rebuild *in the nick of time* !

    Oh ok thank you for the tip; I guess it is the pulse speed on them from the face cam which breaks them. The pump looks excellent so when I have time and if the pesky Wild Dogs leave my sheep alone I will re-assemble. Cheers. ======================================================...

    CASE 580SK Injector Pump Rebuild *in the nick of time* !

    Thanks; I should be alright to install. The CASE service provider for QR (Queensland Rail) had adjusted the idle and full throttle stops to compensate for the crippled springs. Our Pump guru said has has never seen these broken and it was fortunate the cam didn't dislodge and destroy more with...

    CASE 580SK Injector Pump Rebuild *in the nick of time* !

    Hello all, Our superb CASE 580SK (XP Series / EU make with side shift) has been progressively wetting down the "Bosch VE" (I think that is the make / model anyway) injector pump for the Cummins 4T-390 powerplant, to the point where fuel would drip occasionally running or not. Imminent...

    Case 580 super K

    Since I am online a "Picture of my backhoe" here in remote inland Australia and why they are such a versatile machine on a Sheep Station (ranch) from feeding livestock, fencing, soil works, erosion control, firewood to name but a few. The wood in the bucket is Red Box (Eucalyptus...

    Highway pavement foundations

    Hi all, a local construction is using Federal money to upgrade a major through road in a hurry. What do others' reckon on the foundations where part of the original ashphelt is left (1/3 down the centre) and either side is rehabilitated and fill is present over the centre strip when the final...

    CASE 1150 Equaliser Beam (R55857) repair

    Thanks, yes the canopy is standard for export into Australia, with exception for the horizontal engine sweeps and winch access port on the right hand side expanded metal screen (next to the hydraulic controls). This machine was originally forestry use and had been badly abused in its earlier...

    CASE 1150 Equaliser Beam (R55857) repair

    Thanks, yes the equalizer quote was about $9,000 USD delivered from the US to Australia in after-market, there was a possibility of a wreck and probably the same problem as I started with, so repair is the much easier option to keep the work local and under control. I do regret a little not...
