    Case 580c steering cylinder rebuild - help

    Thanks again. Success!! I used a small half moon file and emory cloth. It didn't take much and then it came right out with a little hammer help on the tie-rod end. Now on to the next hurdle.... the wear sleeve on the unibody piston is cracked... on both cylinders. Anyone know best way to...

    Case 580c steering cylinder rebuild - help

    Thanks alrman. Exactly. I’m hoping to drive the Gland deeper into the cylinder enough to feel the groove and file or sand it with Emory cloth. Appreciate your response to validate. My first experience with this.

    Case 580c steering cylinder rebuild - help

    Thanks Tommy. To clarify, how many retaining rings are there? I have already removed two…. The first one holds the dust seal. Then I removed a second one that I thought retained the “gland” in place. I can’t see anything more that would be a 3rd retaining ring, but when I pull on the rod...

    Case 580c tachometer troubleshooting

    Thanks Cory. Can you confirm that the Tach functionality is all mechanical via that cable. I’ll check again on drive alignment but was careful upon install to stab it. Maybe it did slip to side of slot, but it pushed up normally and clipped. I was a little concerned about the integrity of the...

    Case 580c tachometer troubleshooting

    My tachometer working fine prior to removing the console and instrument cluster to access the brake master cylinders for replacement. After repair and reassembly, the tachometer no longer works. The rpm needle in the tach gauge is not responsive and is pegged out on the highest rpm side...

    Case 580c throttle lever not staying set

    Good idea @redranch In hindsight, for sure the better idea. It was a beast. I did finally get the throttle resistance mechanism reconnected. And in doing so, understood why I didn’t remember disassembly… because I didn’t. When I removed the throttle lever, it popped free. I remember...

    Case 580c throttle lever not staying set

    Thanks all. I'm not able to get access through the cluster hole. Still a bit baffled how I disassembled this coming off. But at least the problem is identified... just a matter of access.

    Case 580c throttle lever not staying set

    Thanks Coy! Seeing and hearing your description is bringing back some memory during disassembly. :/) That console is a bear to navigate. Any best practices for accessing that area? Can it be reached by removing the instrument cluster? Thanks again. Oh, I'm also curious where you located...

    Case 580c throttle lever not staying set

    I have a Case 580c backhoe. I replaced the brake master cylinders, which required the removal of the dash console that required removal of the shuttle and throttle levers/assmbly. After reassembling the console and shuttle/throttle levers and beginning to test my brakes, I noticed that the...
