    580ck occasionally doesn't move forward

    I don't think it would be, i shifted from forward to reverse without pushing the clutch pedal and reverse worked fine, afterwards i pushed the pedal in and let it out several times with no change. Plus when i push the pedal the clutch pressure drops and pressure was up the whole time with the...

    580ck occasionally doesn't move forward

    Hey guys, last year or so I rebuilt the engine and shuttle on the old backhoe and it's been working pretty good since, a couple days ago the machine didn't want to move forward in any gear, cold or warmed up, clutch pressure was in the green (above 140psi) and full of hytrans with the slightest...

    580ck backhoe bucket teeth

    I could have sworn mine are pinned in, I'll have to check later, maybe someone changed them or put a different bucket on it

    I have weld on, I like that idea, I bet it makes digging easier too

    580ck backhoe bucket teeth

    That's a good idea, I ordered this set, I'll see if they fit when they come in otherwise I guess I'll be ordering new shanks

    580ck backhoe bucket teeth

    The cap that recently fell off still has a good shank, the one that has been missing needs to be built up

    580ck backhoe bucket teeth

    Hi guys, I ripped off a tooth the other day, one has been missing for a while and the others are worn. Does anyone have a link for the replacement teeth or know if these will work? Thanks, Steve

    59 Ford 641 workmaster loader with rock hammer

    I am debating on converting to quick tach regardless of if I use the hammer on it or not, I know it's hard on equipment but I dont have too much to do and I'm pretty curious on how well it would work

    59 Ford 641 workmaster loader with rock hammer

    Yes there is a pump off the crank for the loader, I agree that the 3 pt pump would not work

    59 Ford 641 workmaster loader with rock hammer

    Probably not heavy duty enough for this forum but I figured I would give it a shot, I'm thinking about renting a rock hammer in the near future, I've used it before on a skidsteer and it worked great, I'm debating on converting my bucket to quick tach and using the previously installed third...

    580ck front ballast

    Have have a bunch of old weights off a weight lifting machine very close in size to suitcase weights, that would look a lot better than cinder blocks. I will see what the metal yard has for cutoffs when I get the steel for my trailer in a couple weeks

    580ck front ballast

    Thank you everyone for the advice, the machine handles well enough that I can use it for the tasks at hand while looking for the counter weight or building one out of thick steel, more than likely will be going the route of building one because there is no sense in un loading the tires

    580ck front ballast

    If I find some time to make it to the scrap yard or metal supply shop I will look, unfortunately my work hours usually make it hard to stop by places that close between 4-5pm. I was thinking about using some steel plate to box the blocks in although if you saw my yard redneck fits right in! My...

    580ck front ballast

    If there is one close and the price is right I may seek one out, with the weight I already added I think securing 2 8x8x16 solid cinder blocks where the optional counter weight belongs should keep me on solid ground. I'm curious if the counter weight was designed for the forklift setup. That...

    580ck front ballast

    I just googled the counter weight and mine does not have it, wonder if I can find one, have it shipped, price? Maybe I should make my own..

    580ck front ballast

    Yes I want to avoid losing lifting capacity if at all possible. Tinkerer do you have any pictures of the counterweight? I dont have the pump shield on which is a couple pounds but surely not 500+, I decided to load the tires today. I used blue washer fluid, i got 9 gallons in each front tire...

    580ck front ballast

    Not a bad idea, I've been keeping it straight as an emergency brake! I need to address the diff lock seal one of these days, it leaks by soaking the brakes on the right side rendering them useless. Left side works well though, makes things extra hairy when the front wheels start coming up!

    580ck front ballast

    I thought about taking the bucket off but it would be a lot of wasted time, I am switching back and forth from hoe to loader several times a day. I think i will have to start playing around with weights in the bucket to figure out how much I need total before I secure it to the back
