    Used 16" bucket for Case 580C

    I pick up a 16" no teeth bucket for my 580. It looks like it has had a couple of cutting edges welded on over the years. The rest of the bucket is in good shape. My plan is to cut of the three layers of cutting blades. Right now the leading edge of the cutting edge is 2 inches. I haven got...

    580 Buckets

    Is there a list of what buckets fit what model of 580? Or is there a spec sheet for them to make it easy when shopping? Like a bolt pattern checker for Chevy wheels? i.e. will a 580C fit a 580K?

    Shuttle linkage Case 580C

    A while back I rebuilt my shuttle transmission and I think I have the linkage wrong somehow. Now somehow it wouldn't go into reverse. I played with it and if I rotated the solenoid the rest of the way it would lock over center in reverse. I shorten one rod and lengthen the other. Looking...

    580C Shuttle slipping? Fwd only

    My 580C is slipping in fwd gears. Reverse is good. Three days ago I pulled a 18 wheeler out of a ditch. Today I plowed the development I live in and its on a hill. Plowed uphill fine for three hours. The floor switch worked fine to disengage the clutch. At the end I was just clean up the...

    OT My 580C passed it 1st real test

    One of my friends tried to come over last week. He was driving a 18 wheeler hauling 40K of steel on a flat bed. As he came around the corner the 40k pushed him into the neighbor's yard. The biggest worry was it falling over. For those that don't know a tow job cost over 1K just to hook up...

    Case 580C Seat spring

    Looking for thoughts on how to fix the vertical adjustment for my seat. It seems that someone found the surprising 4-5 spring in the seat post of my 580C backhoe. Wish I had the video of that moment. It must have been a fun day. So now to my problem. Is it worth the 70-80 dollars to get a...

    580C Shuttle question

    I just got done wiring some of the 580C. Before this nothing powered was working. i.e. to start it was a jumper switch on the starter. I reinstalled a floor switch, wired in the switch on the dash,... Without it running I can step on the brake (switch on dash closed) or the switch on the...

    580C Shuttle Clutch switch on floor

    I looking for a picture or what the shuttle switch is suppose to be for the foot disengaging clutch. Mine was missing when I bought it and I trying to get it back together. To be clear the switch on the floor that you step on to allow it to free roll (neutral). Thanks

    580C Shuttle shift question

    So I think I might have a problem. This 580C has been sitting for over 10 years and I am getting it back to a usable state. Digging is strong. Bucket is strong. Brakes are good. Diff lock is good. It is like it is not strong enough to move itself. I know I am still getting use to how big...

    How to fix the copper circuit on the dash

    My 580C dash circuit is like the rest out there. Where the plug goes in the copper contacts are coming off and some are missing. I found the fix and I thought I would share it for those that don't want to spend the 300 to 400 for another broken one. Copper foil is used for doing stain glass...

    Case 580C Backhoe Thumb

    I thinking about adding a thumb. I would like to make it Hydraulic. I bought this to clean out a ditch that runs though my property. The previous owner dumped tires, bikes, a shed to stop soil washing out. It still washed out and now most of it 10 foot down in the bottom. Lots of trees on...
