First off..i am BRAND new to heavy equipment,so please understand any dumb questions i have..lol
I bought a Case 580 dirt cheap to maintain our dirt road and will be clearing some of my property for a shop
I need help ID this thing so i can get a service manual and order parts
I found where the serial number tag is supposed to be,and it has been painted over at some point and is not legible at all
it has lots of leaks..backhoe hoses near the swing cylinders,,the left outrigger cylinder is the worst so far,getting someone to repack it,the steering wheel has the common(from what i read so far) leak under the steering wheel leaking down the column
I want to change the gear oil in the rear axle(it's a 2wd) and i've been reading conflicting stories as to what fluid to use..HyTrans..80/90..75/140..may need a friction modifier?..etc
one weird thing,the dash panel has the original sticker on it that is barely legible that it is a 580 Special E..but the loader arms use to have 580D on it
This thing runs and operates VERY strong as is..just leaks..fires up with a quick turn of the key. it is the 207 D engine..no smoke and runs great...digs like a charm,all 4 gears work great,trans works great....backhoe work flawless..etc...i just want to do maintenance on it and repair major leaks before i put it to work...i am uploading a few pictures for help IDing it
The first pic is where i found serial number tag behind the right outrigger,i tried to scrap some of the paint off,,but there is no numbers on it..there is a 7 digit number stamped under the tag on the frame..5437154..could not find any info on that number what so ever anywhere
