    580K Case General Questions

    I opened up the instrument panel and checked the light. Sure enough, it was not getting proper continuity. I wiggled it around, and low and behold it came on and things started to work. So I adjusted the prongs and it is charging again and the tach is always working. I never would have...

    580K Case General Questions

    Thanks for the schematics!!!! Sweet! I figured that the tach and excitation were tied together because when the alternator is charging, the tach works. In terms of the light, I have checked that before and it too works. There was not much corrosion to speak of, but I will see if I can...

    Dang... That is a good schematic, but not the entire thing. Thanks!

    Case 580K Won't Start

    I just saw these posts, and never had notifications. Unfortunately I tossed the little filter out and it is now long gone. I thought about cutting it open, but got sidetracked with the million other things I need to do. I still think it is goofy to have the filter / screen in there to begin...

    580K Case General Questions

    Thanks for the information. I am definitely curious. I was wondering if anyone on here has a schematic for the 580K machine, as I don't have a repair manual either. I have an intermittent problem with the alternator not charging, and I am thinking it is the excite wire as sometimes it will...

    580K Case General Questions

    I am well aware of the screen filter. Learned the hard way. :) In terms of the return to dig... The detent works to go into float. As for the rollback, I did not know there was a detent for that position as well. Does the magnetic switch just cause the detent position to disengage...

    580K Case General Questions

    Good Morning, I have had my Case 580K for about a year now, and for the most part she has been a darn good machine, except for that itty-bitty filter/screen downstream of the fuel tank. It has a few issues, with all of them being electrical in nature, but otherwise a solid machine and very...

    Case 580K Won't Start

    Let me rephrase... By "dumb little filter", the point is that it should not be needed to begin with. It is obviously an afterthought, likely based on problems in the field when the machine was originally designed and produced. I only know that because I designed diesel power systems for a...

    Case 580K Won't Start

    Update: It was that little filter along the rail. Changed all of the filters out and no problems. I tried to blow through that little one, and I cannot believe it was even getting enough fuel to run. Wow! What a dumb little filter.

    Case 580K Won't Start

    Starting to think that little filter along the rail is causing problems. Died on me twice yesterday (Sunday) after we got slammed with 20" of white crap. I did the usual procedure and she came back to life after running for about 5 hours, but about an hour later it pooped out again. Was...

    Case 580K Won't Start

    It was winter when I filled the tank, but I did not have any additive in it. I did however, put Power Service 911 in it, but that was after the fact.

    Case 580K Won't Start

    Hello Fellas, Well, I went through and cracked all of the injector lines and cranked and cranked and cranked. Suddenly, fuel started to ooze out of each one all around the same time. Tightened them up, gave a shot of ether, and she spit and sputtered but came back to life. This has never...

    Case 580K Won't Start

    Howdy, Thanks for the replies fellas! When I was checking to see if the pump or filters were causing trouble, I cracked lines and oodles of fuel came out, even at the connection to the injection pump. It was more-so that hardly any fuel was coming out at the injector... I didn't crack all...

    Case 580K Won't Start

    Howdy! Well the other day we had a cold spell hit us with -35°F temperatures. I had to fire up the 580K to feed some round bales as my other loader does NOT like that sort of cold. I went out there, gave a little squirt of ether, and she fired right up like usual. I was letting her sit there...

    Skat Trak anyone have info

    Oh definitely! I have quite a few already. Before I picked it up, I got a grapple to use on the tractor. I thought the grapple was extremely handy on the tractor, but now the tractor never sees it attached unless I need to pick up something heavier than the little machine can handle (which...

    Skat Trak anyone have info

    I ran across this when doing a little bit of research on my little 1300CX Scat, and although the post is quite outdated, I would like to chime in. I bought mine for a song at auction after my son was pestering me to get a skid steer. Originally I thought I would not have much use for one, but...

    Case 580B shuttle pump...

    Well, I am posting again... hoping I can illicit a response about my issue. I was able to get the valve assembly off without taking the fuel tank off (I finally gave up on trying to get that thing out). Nothing looked out of the ordinary or abnormal. A question though.. how in the heck does...

    Case 580B shuttle pump...

    The other day I created a new posting, but no one seems to be paying attention to it. So, I decided to post a thread here. I have a 580B, early 1970's model with the hydraulic shuttle. A few weeks ago I had my kid moving it from the gravel pit to the farm road to spread out some dirt. When...

    Case 580B Shifting / Lack-thereof

    Howdy All, It has been a while since I posted on these threads... hoping someone can give me a pointer. I have a very strange issue going on with my Case 580B. The other day I was loading some gravel into the dump truck and then had to drive the machine about a mile to spread it out on...

    Questions Regarding 1300CX Scat Trak

    Howdy, About a month and a half ago I bought a 1300CX Scat Trak skidsteer at auction for $2,600. At first I was a little bit scared because the broke down New Holland on one side of it went for over $7,000, and the other New Holland (which seemed worse than the other) on the other side...
