    My 1974 580 B has one side (right) brake that's hanging. Has to be rocked back and forth to release. Can the brake be rebuilt? Or does it have to be replaced? Thanks Jim

    1973 580 B CK lubrication

    The 1973 580 B I just bought came with no operators manual so I am wondering if I was told right about the lubrication fluids. There is nothing I've found in the 3 parts manuals I was given. Searching here and around the web has proved confusing. I don't have a Case dealer anywhere within a...

    Case 580b torque tube - no oil

    Hi First post. I've looked around a bit and decide to ask this question since I didn't find an answer searching. I just bought a 1973 case 580b backhoe. Got it cheap since the "torque tube" is cracked and oil leaks in a small river. Question: With little to no oil in the torque...
