    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...

    580SK Carraro Axle Pivot greaser mod !

    Hi all, As a fundamentally lazy person I loathe getting under my old CASE 580SK backhoe to keep that pivot pin on top of the Carraro axle in lube. Unlike most on a Sunday (who would be fixing their pickup or street car) I decided to get the mod done and put the grease point out where it...

    CASE 1150D Radiator

    Hi all, As the coolant was due for a change I wanted to do as little to drain the old fluid without it running on the ground as it seems to kill everything out. One thing I could not get at was the third drain tap inside the bottom radiator tank. After pulling off the RHS side...
