Pressure Washing Abandoned Backhoe SATISFYING part 7 

Bit late but, after you wash down, spray with fifty fifty oil and diesel and let it dry. It will never rust again and no further paint degradation.

Nice to see a decent backhoe loader emerging from under all those years'-worth of accumulated gunk. The big peach will shine again! Great job.

I pressure washed my Case 30+4 a few years ago and found many items that needed addressing... like you found.. pins nearly out, bushings worn but not visibly until washing.... I cleaned , sanded and painted with original paint ( from agri supply) replaced pins and bushings as were obvious after washing... I have a nice, reliable and usable machine now.. I AM AN ABSOLUTE believer in "wash first, then diagnose!" (When I had a VW repair shop years ago, I would charge (then) $20 extra if the customer had not cleaned their engine/ mechanical parts before bringing it to me. I had to do so much more work if they had not ( and might miss items also)

Yes some good degreeser will make a big difference then some paint .u will get her straight . good job

I dont know if the B models are like the older 580 CK's but if they are, and you havent noticed yet, look for greases fittings on the rear axle housing, backside of the wheels, top-side. The bearings arent lubricated with the gear oil from "pumpkin" of the axle - instead they require grease.

look at that patina on that puppy.

A scraper and wire brush would have saved you some time with the steam cleaner. Knock off the heavy deposits, spray it down with some purple crap and then put the steam to it.

you're doing the right thing BY POWER washing the equipment.

Nice job bringing it back to life. I've been looking for one for a while but I can Not find anything even close to the deal you got on this one. I want a Case 580E.

Looking good!

Enjoyed the series on this jewel.

...great clean up. the old girl was due for a bath...good vid..

cleaned our case 580 B,C,D,E, K backhoes many times growing up, dirt and grease just collect on them, but never seen anything like that encasement of stuff

tractor supply sells the case YELLOW equipment paint. and THE CAN order the case decals

Where else can you get 1000 people watch some guy power wash a backhoe.

Hi Mike nice to meet you i used to run 580s back in the day see if you get the backhoe boom in the carry position theres a trick to it , ps it puts weight on the front wheels makes ti handle and front bucket work some what better ill be watchin have fun

Hopefully it just needs injectors cleaned, or maybe a new injection pump. What kind of air volume is coming out of the draft tube (assuming a properly sealing fill cap is in place).

I bought an Allidian power washer 25 years ago. Only had to replace the coil with an upgraded HD one. Still working today. How come you didn't wash it 1st thing when you got it home?

for the bare METAL FROM power washing you can spray primer on the bare metal airas

always, safety first.

You need some lug bolts in those front wheels. Maybe replace them with studs and nuts. It appears that the loader frame and bucket have sustained some damage and needs some work done.

now that it is clean, it will be easier to get at the things that you know need fix'n and discover things you did not know about

looking good git er done

Great video Something sounds amiss with the engine??!!

I've found sometimes that the only thing holding some of these old girls together IS the dirt and grease!!! :))

I agree dirty equipment suck. At least if you have to work on it's not as nasty plus you can find bolt a lot easier.

Great 👍🏻 job, engine sounds a bit lumpy or is that the exhaust 😉

Do you have a bad injector in your backhoe? saw the smoke and it sounded like it has a miss too?

One if you don't have get a book for the machine. Two turn the washer up and peal paint right off and give it a bright and shiny paint job .

Those are some crazy cracks in the bucket. I am going to stop complaining about mine.

Ok, a great work so far. But hopefully you regreased her alle theway trough, because powerwashing meens you blow water in to all joints you have washed. And then I think you now have to change the oil in the motor, since you still only have the ole bottle as oilcap. Remember, oil swims on water, so when you pull the oilpin there always will be fin oil on it. You have put so many hours and good work in to this projekt until now. It would be a shame if you mees it up with a powerwasher.Btw, she looks rely better after the bath. but remeber the "afterwork". Good luck.

someone here on this page mention changing the oil. use good sense about changing oil. I, believe the owner would rather change the oil after HE POWER washes the equipment.. seems like to me it would be wise to change the oil after power WASHING THEN changing the oil before power washing. work smarter not harder misfit.🙃

It's a furnace nozzle and the ignitor leads should be the thickness of a dime away from the nozzle.

Now you can hit it with a gallon of liquid sandpaper then touch up paint!👍

Sigh, now you can look for cracks and damage. Paint is a must to protect the iron. Btw might get rid of that soft drink bottle oil cap and get the real thing before ya trash that engine for real.

Just grease it til grease comes out the joints

You get that thing too clean may have to order a case of rattle can paint and some decals.

shes looking better now that a lot of that ol grease is gone...

ABOUT TIMe... NOW All the fluids next

You pretty much did the impossible. Be proud, man. Oh, and it's yellow. Nice! But you run like Walter Brennan from The Real McCoys. (You're probably too young to get that) lol.

looks like front loader has been in the wars, major plating and welding. No please get your grease gun out and change engine oil.

ye gods, please tell me that is not asbestos in that tub?

That engin needs a lot more work

Surprise is 1 or 72 Mouse nest,s Flying 20 feet High In The Sky Little sticky Mouse getting cooked🐀=😈

you washed off the special paint preservative!

WOO HOO!!! God bless pressure washers and some cheap @$$ degreaser. A MAN after my own heart!!!!

your engine sounds like it has a miss or a bad injector or muffler

Shaker can primer until you bave time to paint. They sure didn't take care of it.

It needs injectors

You shouldn't repaint it and repair the bucket

need to replace the inj,s its got a miss in the eng.

Try soap

Horror.

Does a tractor really sound like a bag of potatoes or is the camera shity mic🤔

someone here on this page made a smart remark about safety glasses. well don't were you're safety glasses MISFIT THEN loose you're EYE site. again I don't want dangerous people working around m🙃e. misfits are the biggest failures.

That's a waste of your time and water , doesn't look any cleaner

I THINK THIS IS THE FASTEST IVE EVER SUBSCRIBED AND THEN UNSUBSCRIBED TO A CHANNEL, LMFAO, NOTHING TO LEARN HERE FOLKS

I, bought a 1973, ford 5- ton DUMP TRK. and a 1966, case ck DIESEL 530 backhoe. I've GOT BANK gravel on my land I need to mine out for the roads on the farm.😊
