In this video i walk around and discuss the problems i need to fix and a few of the things I like about the backhoe. To contact me email kischpropertiesLLC@gmail.com
Great to see old machinery being fixed up and put back to use and the pride you feel doing the work yourself. And with your knowledge you get too save a ton of money. Very cool find.
I have that exact CASE backhoe. I let a yardworker use it and he ruined the shuttle transmission. I'm going to look over your videos with interest. I have the shuttle rebuild kit with seals and bearings etc. Thanks for this information!!!!
its a pretty simple transmission. You should be able to rebuild it. I do recommend getting the service repair manual. Also I dont know if you have checked, but if the Electric clutch is stuck or engaged then it wont move forward or backward. good luck. im here if you need any help
Had one of those. Great machine, lot of power. If I was re-wiring it I would bypass the safetyies, which as I remember was that the shuttle had to be in neutral. Had some issue with the starter circuit. Keep it simple. Also the breaks are a real POS. Never could get them both working, and they tend to lock up.
Keep working on and filming it Mike! I'm currently in the process of rebuilding all the cylinders on a smaller backhoe I use on my JD4700. That Case would be a big step up!
You need a panel light to start magnetising the field windings for the alternator to produce any electricity. Also a starter switch would be a nice luxury..
Back in the day you could take your Rams in and exchange them for reconditioned ones. I guess that no longer is available. I had a Furakawa rock breaker hanging off the back end. Mine was a John Deere. I was making $80:00 an hour back in the 80's but the breakdowns were a pain and expensive. All the best with it mate. Cheers from Perth Australia.
New sub here. Looks like there's some end play it in the steering shaft. Noticed the steering wheel going up and down when you turned it. Going to watch your next video.
Man. As far as the alternator. I’ve had equipment that was like that. And the alt was like 550 bucks to replace. So I ended up putting a medium size solar charge panel on the roofs. Never had a problem with them starting. Even using the machine all day on off on off. No prob. Just a thought. Good deal by the way.
@@morecowbell20 ya for sure. Even so. Sometimes it’s cheaper to just buy an additional battery. Especially in those instances where you can’t even find a replacement alt.
The old 580's are good machines but very top heavy. Just keep the hoe boom swung uphill and the buckets low. All of them I've been around have been turned over at least once. Not hurt, just turned over.
I bought an old 580ck this summer to clear some area on my very steep property. I go verrry slow . These are definitely not made for steep inclines. If i dont back up the hills , i have to use the hoe as a wheelie bar...even with the front counterweight. Pucker Factor 10 when side hilling .
Nice buy. I wish I had one of those that I could rebuild. I think I would buy a good power washer and hit the whole tractor and then go to it. Have you changed the hydraulic fluid filter? I am not sure if there is one... Thanks Jim in Chile.
i found a pump on ebay for 158 new, and i put a forklift steering valve on it for 100 off ebay. its not the same valve, but it works like you said i couldnt find a steering valve for cheap.
That's exactly what keeps mine charged, solar trickle charger from inside the cab (not covered in snow). The only batteries I didn't bring inside this winter (-40 a couple nights) were the ones on my 580C.
did you contract haul it home with the guy for $500.00? You really could get a trailer to haul it for that. Might have to work on it though. You want good trailer brakes, because that baby will push you around. If after you run it a bit, if you unload the controls too quick it knocks the seals out. Be smooth with stopping and starting movement.
