    Moving wood with a 580SE

    Hello everyone, So I have a lot of split firewood that i will need to move around in the next little bit. The truck broke down and its way too much for the quad so the backhoe is the only option left. I can either build an extension for the FEL bucket of some sort or use a trailer. It would...

    580 se cold power Shuttle/TC Fluid Check

    Hey Does anyone know if it is possible to check the power shuttle and torque converter fluid while cold? I started a thread a while back about this machine going slow on a hill. The solution was to add some hydTran ultra as it was low and I think it is a bit low again but being that this machine...

    Hard to engage 4x4

    Hello all, I am having trouble with engaging the 4x4 on a case 580se. I have recently replaced the gear oil in the transfer case which did not help the issue. The only way to engage it is to lean down and apply gentle pressure onto the shift lever to feel for when it can engage. I need to...

    How to change Power shuttle/TC oil

    I need to change the Power Shuttle/Torque Converter oil on my 580 SE 4X4. I did read a few threads and my owners manual but none seem to have a 4X4. I assume I will need to remove the drive shaft which goes to the front end in order to clean the suction screen? How do I remove it? i have never...

    Stabilizer pad 580se material

    anybody know what metal the stabilizer pads on a 580se are? Mine had a crack, so I mig welded the crack after cutting a groove along the crack. The weld looks awful and without ANY sort of use, it cracked right through the middle again. My usual welds look a lot better and don’t crack after...

    Won't shift int 2nd gear or 4x4

    It is almost impossible to shift into 2nd gear or 4x4 on my Case 580 SE. If I get lucky and it engages, everything works fine. In the manual it tells me that if it won't go into 4x4 I have to move forward a "small distance" and try again. Most of the time I have to move forward several times to...

    580 slow on a hill

    Went to move my '86 case 580 SE up a slope/hill earlier this day. It felt like I had to rev it quite a bit higher than usual to get up there but was still a lot slower. Went in 1st gear. Outside temp is about 10c/40f. Could this be due to some oil not being warmed up? I used the machine for...

    Hello, I need to change the transaxle fluid on my 580SE hoe as it is dirty and there is severe brake chatter. My machine requires the case transaxle fluid, part no: B17632. I have heard of some guys flushing it with diesel or others put hyd. fluid in, run it a few minutes and then drain that...

    '86 Case 580SE Brake chatter

    When heading downhill and applying the brake on my 580, I get very loud brake chatter. Kinda sounds like rocks being crushed. I have learned that this is most likely due to old hydraulic fluid which causes the wet brakes to "stick-slip". Is there a additive I can put into the hyd. oil to...

    Case 580 SE Coolant problem

    If I look into the radiator on my 580 backhoe, the coolant is all the way to the top (when engine is cold). Sometimes it also spews it out. If I look into the reservoir its below the add mark. Any ideas on what may be causing this? The OM only tells me what to do when the radiator is low and the...
