Hello,
Thank you to anyone who can help out this first time backhoe owner out. Two items I can't seem to find for sale to get my 580D back to more serviceable.
1) The pin that you put in place to keep the backhoe from swinging side to side if pressure is removed from the swing cylinders. I imagine I could just fashion one out of some steel bar, but if anyone knows who is selling one I would just buy it to save the hassle.
2) Anyone have a serviceable replacement for the channel stripping that went in the channels where the rear windows slide up and down?
The window channel cushioning for the back windows that slide up and down. When I bought it one of the windows was broken. I have the new window, but I don't want to put it back in there without something to cushion the channel. The channel appears to be 3/8". You can see the remnants of the channel stripping in the first photo.

The old channel stripping appeared to be felt on both sides, a rubber middle, and then a plastic strip that went in for the glass to slide on.
Here is a picture of it (in disintegrated state) after I removed some of it.

This is the plastic that seemed to run down the center.
