    580B CK oil contaminated

    I have a 1974 Case 580B CK backhoe with a diesel engine. It is shuttle shift design and works in both forward and reverse but lacks power. The power improves after servicing but not to what I feel is right, it struggles on a small incline. The torque tube, hydraulic and transmission oils always...

    My 1968 Case 580 CK backhoe loader has trouble moving forwards and backwards

    Broken missing "stud" at case model 33 backhoe tower

    I discovered that one (of the two) main studs that should be attached to my backhoe tower is completely missing. I'm referring to this as a stud because there's some mention of that in the CASE manual but no part number that I could find. This means the weight of the hoe is resting on just the...

    Hello all- first post on here so please be gentle on your responses I have a 1970 case 580 CK with model 33 backhoe, standard backhoe no extenda-ho. To me, my brain is wired for the boom control lever to be on the LEFT and the bucket control lever on the right...the way I've been accustomed to...
