    Front axle needed for Case 590L 4wd

    I have a 88 580K and noticed a serious amount of play in the right side lower king pin. I can move the wheel back and forth about an inch or more. I figured the axle is shot. I tried to get the king pin out for better inspection but was unable to on the first and only attempt so far. I was...

    580K will only run about 20MPH?

    Yes, the hoe power is strong, it will pick the backend off the ground at idle. No, I did not by the machine for transportation qualities. It's a home owner machine (stumps, landscaping, tree planting, pond etc) although, occasionally I'd like to do some work at my moms and would need to travel...

    580K will only run about 20MPH?

    This is good news, I have a case 530 that seems to roll a little quicker. I know nothing about this 580k as I bought it today. I asked the seller and he said it would run almost 40mph, that is why I was concerned. I think he was just off on his estimate.

    580K will only run about 20MPH?

    Yes (I think, judgeing by the sound, to be honest I did not look at the RPM at that moment) No black smoke

    580K will only run about 20MPH?

    Just to clarify... flat ground in fourth at close to redline, machine ran about 20mph when I hit a hill in fourth, the machine slowed immediately and I did not dare leave it that way because I think It would almost come to a stop. So i would stop and put the machine in second and then it would...

    580K will only run about 20MPH?

    Just bought a phase 1 580K turbo 4x4, ext-hoe, cab. Drove it home over the road about 20 miles (retiring the old 530ck gas). The machine is a shuttle shift with a torque convertor. I was surprised that it really had some trouble climbing hills in third and fourth. I had to shift down to...

    Leaky Valve Bank

    I know new assemblies are not cheap. I saw a hoe valve bank for a 580k on ebay for over 6 grand! I overhauled the valve on a case 530CK. It was a pain but all it needed was seals. Under $100

    Which backhoe should I pick!!!

    I had a 1985 Ford 555, no issues with it and very strong. I now have a 580K and really like the extend-a-hoe for pond digging
