Abandoned Backhoe hasn't run for 10 years - Will it start?? Part 1 

That solenoid on the forward and reverse shaft is a clutch cut out solenoid it's for when you're loading trucks with the loader you can raise the bucket easier and faster

I have a 77 580c. Would run for 10 mins, then ran rough. Changed both filters.bled, has run right ever since. If you are rrepacking the swing cylinders, they can be done without removing from machine. I used my case to build my barn and other heavy jobs on my 8 acres. Great machine.

That's machine out there long time hope you get it started new clutch get out out there get moving back or forth awesome video keep up the good job men bless you

New to the channel. What a guy he can put his hands to anything. Love the unscripted scenes... genuine person... Thanks from UK. 👍👍👍

My Ford 655 A extendahoe sat for 8 years out in the Weather with the Head Off.. Locked the Motor Down and Rusted the threads out of the Block at the Head Bolts.. I Rebuilt the Engine with Thread inserts at all of the Head bolt Locations and New 0.030 over Pistons.. Rebuilt the Shuttle Shift transmission while the Block was Out.. Had less than 6000 in the Whole hole with the New Rebuild on the Engine.. Worked with it and Made Enough to buy a Dump truck and Build a Great trailer to Haul it.. Made 3 times what I paid for it over the years and then Sold the Whole lot for 10,000 .. Like to Have an Excavator Deal like that Come along Right Now.. Thanks, Richard

Great to hear the engine going, good job.

Got a 69 case 580 ck backhoe tha6 sat in a guys backyard for 3 years and he was suprised it started right up after about turning over 10 or 15 times. Been a good tough backhoe except hydraulic lines are old and keep blowing out . Good luck on your project

Man I love it when people find stuff out in the middle of nowhere and bring it back to life.

Wow I just want to say thank you for the opportunity to learn more about case tractors

good job it nice to see people like you bring back old machinery

First: water and oil. Second: extend outriggers and figure out the gears.

You have to have low rpms to change manual transmission. I have a 580 ck early 1970 model . Great old machine have moved a lot of dirt.

Glad I found your videos. I just purchased a 580C also. Runs and drives just has several hydraulic leaks that need attention and also no brakes so will be paying close attention in those videos.

I operated an earlier model with no roll cage for a reclamation district that was stingy on repairs and maintenance. I am pretty sure the 580(C) is in better condition than the one I used. It was beat to hell and so was the rest of the equipment that were so old, they should have been placed in museums. Some irrigation pumps dating back to circa 1915. The welder in the shop was an old Lincoln arc style with a mercury pool rectifier vacuum tube that lit up blue when using the stinger. My high school electronics teacher told me about them and I actually saw and used one. Yeah, I mean really old and cheaply run that place was.

Cool, sneaking up on it!

I bought a 1987 JD 410B Turbo 2 years ago for $2,500. Rebuilt the engine, re stabbed it to find out the trans was shot, rebuild that and it ran great, 10 months later the turbo took a dump (was iffy to start) Bunch of hoses and misc stuff later I am into a Backhoe for $8,000. I love it. Currently have the swing cyl 's off for a repack and bushing replacement Worthy investment. Mine is prob worth $15,000-20,000

Can’t wait to see the updates

I love the old case 580s and a big fan of the cat 416 first model. Its what my dad taught me on. I will own one someday

Show everything as you go through it!

I look forward to seeing the shuttle shift video I'd love to learn all about it as well as packing the cylinders awesome work

Good work, nice machine. Hope you can get her goin 100% again.

I really enjoyed your video, please keep trying with it.

Well done sunshine, good job.

YOU GOT it started & moved. sitting isn't very good for things

Looking forward to an update

Good job on the backhoe keep up the good work

Very impressive getting it running and moving.

Damn good machine!! With some tlc ran many of them in my day!! 👍

I loved running them old 580's. Had one at one time.

I used to operate the J.I.Case digger back in the 80's and it's one powerful solid machine. Good luck with getting it to the condition you want it.

When you can't turn it off block the air flow off

Make sure to drain the fluid in the torque converter. I bought a 580 Super E that needed a new converter because the old fluid had gummed up.

Good work, using the bucket to push it out.

Man that thing dialed right to life just gotta sort the drivetrain

Hey man I'm from Amarillo Texas and I really like your videos now so stay with it

I also found backhoe same like this in my village..abandoned in 16years in the woods..

Lets hope you can get it home for a reasonable sum ! and hope the shuttle can be sorted from 'outside' ;-)

Great video ! I hope you keep em coming on that machine , it was a beast in its day!

LOL ....Abandoned backhoe hasn't run for 10 years - Will it turn off???

Dang backhoe started easier than the line trimmer.

Looks like you got a few butterflies.

My Uncle Jason has a 580E and think to put his backhoe in first gear it's forward to the left. It should be the same on a 580C

Good job Okie, from Ponca City.

I wonder if the spark you heard was your vice grips grounded out on the frame when you completed the circuit trying to connect the neg cable

my grandfather used to own a backhoe just like this one an old case. that "choke" you pulled to shut it off is the actual shut off to the engine and not a choke

Great video!

I was anxious wondering whether you put water in the machine prior to moving it. Couldnt enjoy the second half because all I could think about was the dry running water pump and rapidly climbing temp gauge

surplus center for hydraulic lines will save tons of money on them

Give ya an A for effort, that things a potential work horse.

Re boot the computer scan for codes. Borg Warner reverser powershift trans with a torque converter. Very simple to fix

I'd like to see your progress

Use the bucket on the front of the tractor. Tip the cutting edge down and use it to pull or push the tractor forward or back.

😎 I like your enthusiasm...Plan...A❕

Change the fluid in the shift and clean the screen.

I believe that solenoid is connected to the cutout button on the front bucket joystick

Good Luck Fella.

U.K. Anyone can mend anything if you throw enough money at it. It's more interesting to watch someone who needs to look after the pennies (sorry - cents) . I have subscribed, only just found your channel. Please do another vid and if you already have I'm about to find it. You certainly put up a good fight getting that bugger out - well done that man.

I guess I have started a1000 tractors left for junk in my life. I never thought it would become popular to watch in a million years.

I would like to see you repair the shuttle,,, Having it transported to your shop is wise,,, A case backhoe is an awesome machine,, It took me about 3 months for the rear bucket of my case 580 to became like an extension of my arm,,, From the video it did not appear that you have very much experience. I think that you will enjoy becoming proficient at using your new machine,,, Later on, you can acquire an 8 or 10 yard dump truck and trailer,,, :-)

You are a top mechanic

If at first there is no reverse Rev rev and rev again and eventually check your fluid and filters and actuactors and anything else in the drive train. But dont forget the advisory Rev break this can be as often as you deem necessary

You parked it in the bushes and then became a 10 year time traveler. LoL

I have a 1970 International Tractor diesel backhoe. Let it sit too long and now engine is froze up. Hope to get it broke loose next summer and start using it again.

Good video!

Brakes ..?? that's a fun job !!

If you want to check a motor that has been sitting for water in it - first pull the dipstick, if the oil is way high then there's probably water under it. If it's high, or no dipstick then crack the sump drain plug let a little out, if it's oil - re-tighten . if you get water just wait till oil starts coming out. It's no use putting a stick in there, as the oil coats all of it that was in water as you pull it out.

You will get it Mike and soon it will be part of the fleet still waiting for the butterflies lol it was close real close “ poor little mouse “ lol. Cheers Mike looking forward to the next instalment merry Christmas and a safe 2021 🇬🇧🇬🇧 John

хорошая работа!!

I appreciate the mouse footage man nothing like watching nature . And nice little bonus

Cover the air intake or stall the engine with the clutch to stop the engine

well I stopped the video soon as it fired up, to say, I really hope he didn't put gas in the tank, as he said he was going to get some gas in it, as it sure don't sound like a gas engine, both the 580 B and C were not gas, I found a 580B sitting on an island that people lived on year round, it was parked in the bush with a poplar tree growing up though it, has I nice cab and all on it, good turf tires on the back, I asked around who owned it, this was in March, and I drove across the lake on the ice road, people told me it belonged to the town ship, and it been sitting there for 5 years or more. I went to the town ship office and asked about it, they told me it stopped driving and there shop mechanic told them it would cost far to much to fix, I asked if they would sell it, as I know the problem with these 580B and C when they stop driving, specially when they told me, when you put it in forward, it jumps a head an inch or 2, and when put in reverse it jumps back an inch or 2 and stops, it is a commune problem with these, and a simple day fix, but many pull the transmission out and rebuild it at a huge cost, when it don't need that at all, so I asked if they would sell it, they told me if I can get it off the island before the ice was no longer safe to drive on, I can have it for $500, and they also had a good set of construction back tires for it as well as the service manual that covers all the 580 models, so I dumped the fuel out of it, changed filters, and it fired up after 5 turns and stopped, I bleed the system and a way it went, I let it warm up, and changed the oil and filter, then started it up, and pushed it out to the road with the backhoe, then got a flat bed to pick it up and hall it 180 miles to my home for $300 as they had to go to my town to pick up a insurance car they bought, it sat in my yard for a year, before I got around to work on it, all the backhoe bucket pins and bushings needed to be cut out and new ones welded in, but first was to get it to drive, I spent a few hours a day here an there working on getting it fixed so it would drive, spent about $300 in new oil and a few dollars on a few small parts and peace's and had it driving in 2 weeks, total time spent, was about 12 hours, been working great ever since. well back to the video..

good job!

you have to let that hydraulic fluid warm up before you even move it. at least 15 minutes.

i see u have to move this guy along at time's ..lol

WOW! 145,000 views!! Nice job!

Good intentions, for sure. However, it seems to me that "pre-run" check should have included putting water in the radiator and at least a preliminary wiring check to insure no fire hazards (and how to turn the ignition on/off).

sitting a long time you might have to reseal more than a few rams, you want the OTC tool that works with a 3/4 breaker bar, pull the little phillips screw and remove the cylinder gland for resealing. I rebuilt my 73 and it took a full day to split the tractor, the reverse and forward clutch packs were thrashed, it was, back 20 years and they were $400 each. But it was a reasonable job with the service manual. Check your pressures and the trans filter out front (for metal)

Nice score. Been looking .. no luck

WOW WAS I EVER WRONG GREAT JOB

Nice one bro, cool 🔥 Let's keep in touch, thanks

very cool like to see more subscribed

The park break handel is up push that down if you haven't already those case bakehoes are tanks

There's 3 solenoids that controls the forward natural reverse. The reverse one is not getting power or its bad.

Man I love what you are doing , I just got a 1967 580 CK that needs lots of work lol, and I have no idea what i'm doing I want to get a repair manual but dont know what to get can you recommend one ? I just want to dig a pond but got to get my backhoe working right first thanks and added points if you can tell me the steps to prim the fuel injectors to get it to start I ran out of gas (no gauges) but it runs when it has gas !!!!!! thank you for your videos love them !!!!!

it's got to be running before the steering works on it. it don't have a steering gear box

Wow, that will be an awesome backhoe when you get the bugs worked out.

Hi Mike have really enjoyed watching you rebuild this machine .do you happen to know if this model uses coolant or just a rust inhibitor ? Or if anyone else knows im using it in a hot tropical part of northern Australia.

nice job

Well loads of luck on that love the old tractors so anyways godbless

Very easy to get it moving by pushing with the bucket !

You could stop it just put the bucket down for brakes ive had to do that a couple of times before with machines.

good job bro from malaysia

Um that's a C model it's a straight shift transmission it's got a clutch I have worked on a blue million of them my dad is a case tech for over 30 years

I think maybe your “in my mind process didn’t make a complete circle. Starting it and then, how do i shut it off. Some people consider. What if it is a runaway? Before the starting. Lucky job

Hi, are there mechanisms ready to work for sale

Should have put the rear tires in the air to get them moving then drove away

Are you stealing this backhoe? If not, why the whispering?

its, got hydraulic steering. and it's got to be running before you can move it on its own.

Seem like you can lift the back end up for the Outriggers and put it in gear Maybe nice video

so butterflies didn't fly out of the exhaust, but looks like a mouse did. Not a total wash. :)
