    Case 1150B transmission getting hot

    Here is some more info: The dozer may feel a little sluggish when the tranny temp gets hot but just a little. He does shut it off to cool when it starts getting a high temp, it has done this for the 7 years he has owned it but has not noticed anything getting worse. The tranny shifts fine...

    Case 1150B transmission getting hot

    A friend has a Case 1150B dozer that the transmission gets hot on after an hour or two of operation. He stops it and lets it cool and goes back to working it. He had a pump on the transmission changed a while back. Where would one start on this? I think he changed the filter but that may be it...

    555E hydraulic line

    Hello, I have a 1999 Ford/New Holland 555E backhoe. I have popped a hydrualic line that goes to the left side stabilizer. Does anyone have experience with this? I think it is a two piece line but cannot find the junction under the backhoe. I can tell the lines running to the box are different...

    Hydraulic pressure gauges and adapters needed

    Hello, I know a few on here have set up their own gauges and adapters for checking hydrualic systems on backhoes, dozers, etc. Can you please guide me in the direction of what I need and where to get it. thanks Hovis

    Case 580B weak hydrualics

    Hello, I have had to rebuilt the ext. hoe cylinder and replace some hoses. After doing this, the hydrualics seem weak and I can't do two operations at once on the backhoe. Also, the main lift cylinder wants to bleed off when operating the boom, bucket, or swing. Does anyone know where I...

    580B extendahoe cylinder pin stuck

    The hoses don't have to be replaced but I would like to because of Murphy's law (they look a little rough). There is an extension on the cylinder that has the sleeve the pin slides through. The pin is loose on the boom but rusted in place in the sleeve. I thought I could heat that and when it...

    580B extendahoe cylinder pin stuck

    Case 580B Need to get extendahoe cylinder seal fixed. Got disassembled to the point of removing the upper cross pin holding the cylinder in. This pin is stuck. Will not move with 10 pound sledge. What is the best way to approach this problem? Here are options that popped into my head. 1...

    Looking at buying this 580B Construction King

    There were two counter weights for the 580B. One was around 500 lb for the stock backhoe and around 720 lb for one with extendahoe. They mount under the front end below radiator. Mine is an extendahoe with the larger weight and it still comes up like yours. I'm looking into a way of adding...

    Case 580b Weak Swing

    Thanks for all the fine info. Over the weekend, a O ring seal on the high pressure side of the hydraulic pump line blew out. Is this O ring a standard rubber ring. I really can't tell. Anyway, the backhoe seems to be really strong for a B model. Also, where is the best place to order parts? I...

    Case 450 - Removing link from chain?

    I'll make measurements and make a decision. Where is a good source for a used sprocket? When I bought this dozer, the owner had broken a tooth off of a spocket and put on a new one. It is about half worn. I'd like to find another that is worn about the same amount, switch sides on the...

    Case 580b Weak Swing

    Ok, I was low on hydraulic fluid was one problem. The swing is a lot stronger. The only thing that's a little odd is when trying to raise the arm and pull the boom at the same time, it doesn't want to do it without a load. I think I have air in the line that needs worked out and there is a small...

    Case 580b Weak Swing

    Hello, Sorry for all the threads but am really working the equipment and some issues have came up. On this 580b, the left and right swing is weak, when dragging it on the ground lightly to level, it runs out of power quickly. All other hydrualics seem normal. Any ideas. thanks Hovis

    Case 450 - Removing link from chain?

    REF: Case 450 dozer Is it wise to remove a link and pad from a track to get more adjustment. Also, when do you know it's time to replace? What are the signs? What are other options. thanks Hovis

    Backing Uphill

    When I was a kid, I remember my dad telling operators on the sites (building interstates) to never back up a hill or turn and come down the slope...never knew why (I was only 3-7 yrs old)...now I do. Hovis
