    Case 580 E light switch

    So, my front lamp, dash light switch finally went bad on my 580 SE. Have tried the usual places, realize that they don’t make them any more. Doesn’t have to be OEM just looking to replace it with something similar. Any ideas, other than just china crap. Simple push, pull with a black knob, would...

    Skid steer dozer/snow plow

    Recently picked up this dozer/snow plow blade. Originally, I picked it up mainly for my wife to use in the skid steer as she wants to help me out, while I plow with the backhoe. I had heard what a disappointment the dozer blade would be on the skid steer but totally disagree with that assessment...

    Picked up snow plow, dozer blade

    Found this on FB Marketplace, never been used. Paid 700$ but will have to change out hoses or fittings as it’s got banjo fittings on the piston, and I would like to put a cushion valve block in and it has 5/16” lines. I don’t have a 5/16” die nor hose and I’m sure I can just convert it over to 1/4”.

    Case 580 SE

    Anyone ever take out the loader main pivot pin? It runs through a tube welded to the sides of the hydraulic and fuel tank. It’s 42+” long and either it broke at the fuel tank side or it’s worn out the tube it sits in on the drivers side. When manipulating the bucket, I can see the end of the pin...

    Anyone else have trouble with the spell correction on this forum?

    I thought maybe it was me or my computer but honestly it’s been bugging the **** out of me. The spell correction works like crap and I have to constantly monitor what is actually typed, before I hit post. I am accustomed to spell check and proof reading but more often or not, I find the spell...

    Scat Trak 1300c

    So, working on the new to me, basket case machine. Couple of questions. Where do you buy your Kubota parts, as in like the 10mm by 15mm by 3mm rod seal for the fuel shut off lever? I found one from McMaster and ordered it but their shipping is 5 times the price of the seal. That leads to my 2nd...

    ScatTrak 1300c

    Just picked up a winter project. Need to put new head on and get Kubota V2203 back in. It has the old style block and head with 6 water holes and I have read where people put the new 10 hole style head with the old 6 hole style head gasket but a little Leary of that. The original head has small...

    Might have bought some tires

    So, having been looking for some rear tires on my Case 580 SE for awhile, I might have gotten lucky, maybe not. I have been watching tire prices on EBay and Simplytire for a couple of years. I just got 275/65/20” E rated tires on my truck last week, scored them on Simplytire for 132 bucks each...

    Case 580 SE Seat.

    I have a good seat still on my Case 580 SE but it doesn’t have any suspension in it. Any good aftermarket setups for maybe air ride that’s not 1k? It is worn out and instead of fixing detents, I just put a 2” rod clamp on it so it doesn’t fall down but still swivels correctly.

    Okay, so here’s a new one. Getting ready for winter here and went to clean up leaves around plow and was going to take the 2 angle lines off as I was going to put some nylon sheathing over and found both plow lines eaten. One completely in half and the other hanging by a thread. Bite marks from...

    Eaton Weathered T420

    So, I recently acquired this hose crimper and am ordering Weatherhead U series fittings as I will mostly be using 2 wire hoses. My issue is that the specs for the nominal crimp diameter are only spect to weatherhead hoses. I plan on using different hose of course and so far, after spending a few...

    Case 580 SE Horn

    Anyone know where the horn is located on a Case 580 SE. Always been kinda off and on working and always meant to fix it. Yesterday went to look for it but unfortunately it doesn’t work at all now so have no idea where it is. Looked around engine and in front but don’t really feel like pulling...

    Case 580 SE loss of power in reverse

    Recently noticed lack of power in reverse pulling out of a hole. Did stall test and in forward revs almost to high rpm but in reverse only to about 1500. What exactly am I looking at for a job and how long can it run like this. Thank you for your input.
