    Dresser 510B trans fluid leak

    Recently picked up an early 510B loader. From what I can tell someone blew a rod thru the block on the original engine and repowered with a 4bt Cummins like the later machines. Runs great, all hydros work fine, but suddenly it's started pissing trans oil out of the drain on the bellhousing. Gets...

    International 3200A engine removal

    My love for facebook marketplace has landed me yet another gem for a deal I couldn't refuse. An old international 3200A with the backhoe attachment, all complete. Problem is the Wisconsin VH4D jammed in the rear of it needs a major overhaul and needs to be pulled. However IH seems to have built...

    580E repairs and homemade hacks

    Picked up a machine a little while back, wasn't in the best of shake but mechanically it's sound enough. However, I just can't accept good enough. So I've been working my way through this machine as cheaply as I possibly can, and thought I'd share some of this with you all in case anyone can...

    Case 580E Parts Questions

    After months of searching I finally picked up a machine, a mid 80s 580E for 7200$. Couldn't find any other 580s under 10k, and most were in less than great shape. Mine obviously needs some work it's far from perfect, but mechanically it's sound and the pins are fairly tight so I considered it a...

    Questions about a case 580G

    A little while back I sold my tired old 580CK, was a solid machine but I was tired if having no cab and wasn't interested in splitting it to do a clutch. I've run across a few replacement machines but many were either junk or out of my price range. However, I was offered a 580G, which is never...

    Case 580ck hydraulic tube assembly

    I recently picked up a trenching bucket for my 70s 580, and decided to dig a stump out of my yard. All was fine and dandy until I noticed a spray of hyd oil from down below me. Well as it turns out somebody age old braze job seems to have let go and a crack has developed in one of these steel...

    New Holland l554 engine swap

    We just picked up a new Holland l554 skid. It's in great shape and was too good to pass up, except it's missing it's engine. From what ive found it had a Continental tm30 inline 3 gas engine. We're looking for engine options, does anyone know where to get the original engine? Or if not, does...

    Pettibone Multihoe Information

    So lately I've been looking into bigger machines than my case 580. I've always had a thing for dynahoes and I love Detroit diesels. However, I found an ad for a Pettibone Multihoe not far from me for a low price. I know it has the 3-53 Detroit, but that's it. I looked around online a little but...

    Case 580ck shifting question

    While I'm waiting for the cylinder seal kits to come in for my hydraulics I've been going through the rest of this thing and figuring out what else it may need in the mean time. I remembered today that the shifting instruction sticker on the dash is too worn off to read. I tried to find a new...

    Citgo tractor hydraulic fluid

    This past weekend I managed to pick up a 1970 case 580CK off Craigslist after finding it for cheap just two towns over. Everything looked decent and it felt good enough so I drove it home, which made a 25 minute drive take 3 hours. Anyhow, the hyd oil is milky, I knew that when I looked at it...
