Hi guys,
It's been months since I've posted, but I'm back. My 1975 Case 580b has an annoying leakdown in the front bucket and digger bucket on the boom tower. I took it to John Deere (no case dealer around) to see if they could fix it, and they diagnosed leaking spool valve assemblies. I've got about 3 hours of shop labor in this now and still no fix. Kind of like going to a doctor isn't it?
Anyway the service manager says a spool valve assembly is very expensive and John Deere really can't get the parts. I can call Case and see what they say, but I have no way to get the machine to them.
What are my options here? Surely the valve assembly is rebuild able. It could removed and taken somewhere. I hope someone can chime in with a solution.
Thanks, David anderson
