    Backhoe elevation issues?

    I recently purchased a 78 case 580c backhoe loader. The previous owner had it parked for a couple years before I bought it. It seemed to run strong there, but when I got it home it bogs down under load. I'm wondering if the elevation change would make a difference. He lived at around 1,000 ft...

    580 Case Shuttle Transmission

    I have a 580 that doesn’t always take off when shuttle is shifted into Forward. Will eventually go and seems to improve when warmed up. Reverse seems to always work without issue. Dropped the pan today and oil seems a little dark but nothing out of the normal as I recently purchased and don’t...

    Case 580 shutting off after 20-30 minutes

    I have a 78’ Case 580c yesterday it shut off after letting it idle for about 6-8 minutes. Then when I went to drive it off it lost RPMs and shut down. I assumed a fuel issue so this morning went out and checked to see if I was getting fuel before the fuel pump and after the fuel pump. Cleaned...

    Now going forward is barely working.

    I have a 78’ case 580c. I haven’t had any problems with forward or reverse. Today I it wasn’t kicking into forward very quickly like it does. And now it’s starting to stop on me or go really slow in forward. Checked fluid on the power shuttle and it was full.

    Leaking, is this part of the power shuttle

    this part is leaking. At first I thought it was a weep hole but now that I’m taking a pic I’m not so sure that hole is suppose to be there. I am leaking a little oil from it. Today I topped off the radiator fluid and it seems like the oil leaking today has some antifreeze in it.

    Case 580 B backhoe won't move in reverse

    I have a Case Backhoe 580 B. When I bought it, it would not go into reverse. I have tested the shuttle pressure in forward, neutral, and reverse. According to the book, I have the proper pressure. It will move forward but not reverse. If I lift the back wheels up, they will spin in reverse, but...

    580c cylinder PISTON BOLT removal

    I have a 78’ case 580c. I’ve removed the boom and the swing cylinder. I am stuck at the piston bolt removal. I have tried a crescent wrench with a 3’ pipe for leverage. Do I need to purchase a compressor and air impact wrench to work on these? If so will a 2hp compressor be big enough to get...

    Bleeding 1978 Case 580c

    Just purchased a 78’ Case 580c. Replaced a hydraulic hose on the backhoe and a hydraulic hose on what I assume is the hydraulic control for the loader. It’s the control next to the battery. I lost a lot of hydraulics when I took them off. About to fill it back up but can’t find in the Manuel how...

    I'm looking to know who the manufacture is (note logo) and more importantly the best method to minimize any stress on the main pin (so as to remove and change out to another bucket). Any insight would be appreciated.

    Case 580B missing parts from main relief valve.

    Hi, First post here. I have a Case 580B and the main relief valve for the loader control is missing parts. I spoke with Case, and they said they no longer make those parts. My question is: Is it possible to add a remote to the loader control valve and if so, would it matter if the main relief...

    580B starter filled with oil

    I have a 1974 Case 580B CK backhoe with a diesel engine. I’ve had issues with my starter corroding and getting filled with oil (contaminated which is another issue all together.) The oil is coming from the torque tube. Is the flywheel supposed to have oil around it? When I split the tractor I...
