1976 Case 580B swing help

[Cody55]

I have a 1976 case 580b looking for some help, when I try to pull back on the boom lever the hoe will slowly swing to the right, and also left swing is a little weak, other than that everything seems to be working fine, just looking for some tips as in what could be wrong? Maybe valve body o rings? I am new the this backhoe. Thank you

Hi Cody55, are you saying that the boom swings to the right when you raise it?

 

[Cody55]

Yessir it swings slowly to the right when I raise boom

Dumb question but if you turn your machine 180 degrees and raise your boom does it swing to the right?

 

[Cody55]

Yes

Don't know if ever covered here for a B but has been covered several times. Do a search of threads here for your problem. Probably o-rings bad or missing in relief or load check valves in backhoe control valve sections.
