    Case 580ck oil pan removal

    Hey Middleman, I am no expert here, but I do believe the axle gets dropped if you need to remove the oil pan. For the bolt size, I am no help there. I am more so posting this comment to draw attention and maybe someone with more expertise can help you.

    Eric, thanks for the input. It is indeed the 188D. I will indeed keep running it, I'll be keeping a close eye on the oil level. I finally got around to picking up some Lucas oil. The recommended amount was 20%. After draining out some of the old oil from the motor I probably put closer to...

    1974 Case 580B Hydraulic Power to Backhoe

    Hey folks, second post here. I have finally been able to put my new to me 580B to work pulling some small stumps. Right off the bat I noticed the lack of power to the backhoe. It's not terrible but in comparison to my old 530ck I would say it is lacking. Plenty of power to the loader...

    Going through all of the basic maintenance items on the backhoe I finally got around to checking the air filter and this is what I found... Between the sludgy old oil and this filter no wonder why the motor is so worn out.. man it sucks when people can't do the basic necessities to keep a...

    The CK’s had a B model made in the 70’s. Not sure what you are considering old as dirt. It’s marked 580b on the hood of the backhoe which certainly doesn’t mean it’s original. Everything from the 580b operators manual appears to align with the machine. But I’m sure someone on here with more...

    HarleyHappy, I guess we’ll find out! Previous owner said he hasn’t been using it much lately he had bought a smaller machine. Here is another picture of the 580: And here is the smaller trenching bucket and pallet forks that came with it:

    Thanks for the encouragement guys. I tend to over think things and assume the worse. She really does run well and starts up on a dime. Skyking, I’d say the blow by is comparable to your video. Regardless. I think I’ll just run her. I am planning on buying the service manual off of eBay this...

    Hello folks, I have been lurking here for a bit while I have been hunting down a new machine. I pulled the trigger on a 1974 case 580B with the power shuttle. Very clean machine and at the right price. The machine came with a 12" trench bucket and pallet forks. The downside of the machine is...
