I just did the brakes on my 580C which is a different design. Its a dry brake shoe/ disk design. The bearings were worn on the 1/2 shafts that drives the brake hubs. To remove them I had to pull the axles and move the bull gear out of the way so basically I had to rebuild the differential with al new bearings, seals, brake linings, wheel cylinders, etc. Its allot of work. I also replaced the rear tires myself which was fun. To do this to the extent I had to you do have to know what your doing as you have to set-up the ring and pinion clearances and bearing pre-load which takes some time with a dial indicator.
Thank you for the information, that sounds worse. I have a old case 680.. i has breaks that ride on the pinion shafts, easy to replace, just pull a cover off slide steels an discs off shaft, to renew, reverse procedure with new break parts. but one problem, disks are way o small a diameter, so on a good day here is very little breaking power.
I have pulled two different backhoes apart for brakes in forty years and they are terrible to work on . The kick in the ass was one didn’t actually need the discs it was the linkage was rusted under the floor board . I would soak the new discs for a day or two before I installed them. Just something I would do with transmission discs probably just old school how I was shown.
these discs are no fiber or normal break martial, there is a grainy metallic material imbedded on the disk? did not think soaking would do any good, thank you for the commend.
Thanks for making this video,we just bought a 1995 ,480 super K , runs great, have to replace the swing & out rigger seals but other than that its in great shape.Thanks for showing us your video,what a hick in the ass this was.Come on Case you can do better than this..See Ya
@@upsidewithstephenkreider589 I'd like to think Case would make it easier to replace brakes. I've been thinking about replacing my current backhoe with a case, not new of course. Good video.
