    DT466 Accessory Drive options

    I am putting a 79 GMC7000 body on a 91 IH 4700 chassis which has an 86 DT466 in it. This brings about a number of issues which I think should have a reasonably simple resolution. Issue 1: The guy who did the swap didn't keep the belt drive power steering pump that the engine had. The truck...

    91 International 4700 wiring diagrams?

    Thanks, I had another gentleman tell me about the flywheel tach sensor. I measured the resistance across the terminals and got 660ohm. I will pull the sensor and check it out. I will also check that switch out. I have a brake pressure warning light on the dash so there is an indicator that...

    91 International 4700 wiring diagrams?

    Hey all, I have a 91 international 4700. The truck originally had a dt360 but a 466 was swapped in. I believe the 466 was a slightly earlier engine. I have two current minor issues that I'd like to sort out, but I'd like to have access to good wiring information (IE complete wiring...

    Case 580 CK - model 33 - Advice/Help please.

    I had awesome luck buying some used (no longer produced) parts from Hagan Tractor in Oklahoma for my 580b.

    Case 580B spool valve rebuild pictures

    I know I have read a lot of posts requesting pictures of the spool valve rebuild on this forum. I recently went through the process and took some detailed pics to help people out in the future. I then kind of buried them in a thread without a detailed title and later realized that a detailed...

    Case 580B Weak boom rams

    Hey 68 Case, sorry for the late reply, I get so busy with work and then I was away getting married, honeymooning, now back out on a construction site.. My machine does not have hi/lo and I am not familiar with them. Typically if a transmission or range box is popping out of gear it is a wear...

    I clearly don't know how to use a backhoe

    When you get to the bigger stumps a lot of what you'll be doing is digging around them and then trying to roll them into the area you have dug out. You won't just scoop up and under them like that little bush. Practice and be safe!

    Backhoe loading - no dovetail??

    This is a good indication of how patient I am (read:too many projects, not enough time). I bought a trailer yesterday. I went with a 30ft tandem dual. Tandem dual because I don't like the scrubbing of the tridems, how they switch pivot tires etc. I really wanted oil bath axles because I'm...

    Case 580B Weak boom rams

    Got it back together. Works much much better. The boom is still a little droopy but it is actually usable now. I hope at least part of the remaining droopiness is just air in the lines as I only lifted the boom a couple of times before latching it and putting the tractor to work moving a parts...

    Case 580B Weak boom rams

    I didn't realize I had already posted the video to this thread. It is the same video as I posted in post 6. Apologies. Kevin

    Case 580B Weak boom rams

    Picks are mostly used to remove and replace the o-rings. A precision screwdriver was needed to be used as a chisel to lift these wipers out. Replacing o-rings Clean the SRV This is a dissassembled relief valve. The process to get it apart can be a little bit of a pain and time consuming. I...

    Case 580B Weak boom rams

    Hi. I guess I haven't updated this in a while. I should do that so people with similar troubles can follow the troubleshooting process I took. I bypassed the boom ram lockout and the problem persisted. I bypassed it by having a short run of hose made and capping the boom lockout hard lines...

    Did you buy a paper manual or electronic? I bought mine on ebay and it came with both the B and C.

    Backhoe loading - no dovetail??

    At least this guy doesn't make the claim that the trailer was hardly used.

    Backhoe loading - no dovetail??

    Isn't that the truth.. I hate to see a loaded trailer turned tight. You can literally see the tire scuff and the side loading exerted on the bearings.. All the tires tilted different directions. Unfortunately, with a longer trailer it seems it is often the case. I wonder how much worse the fuel...

    Backhoe loading - no dovetail??

    Darn it! It IS a beaver tail, you are right. Dove tail (as I best know it) is when you take a pickup bed and taper it narrower towards the rear of the truck and I mistakenly use dovetail rather than beaver tail, for whatever reason. Off-road background/force of habit. Thanks for all the input...

    Backhoe loading - no dovetail??

    Lumberjack - you are correct, good to know that option exists. Those ramps cost enough to make me spring for the beaver tail though, which is exactly the push that I probably need. Basically on the good-shape-used market: 30-34 ft deckover - $5000, fairly common. Same with a beavertail, $8-$9k...

    Backhoe loading - no dovetail??

    I am looking at buying a 3 axle single wheel deckover gooseneck trailer to haul my 580b. I would like to get one with a dovetail, but the ones without a dovetail are a few thousand cheaper in most cases. How many of you have loaded or regularly load a backhoe on a deck over without a...

    Best classified site to move my 580c with fresh rebuilt engine? ?

    I think it would move pretty quick for that price around here. Sometimes the way the ad is written and laid out can make a difference.
