    580CK Heating Pads / Transmission Slow to move...

    Chip, The transmission/differential uses #80-90 EP, GL-4 rated gear oil. The fill plug/dipstick for that compartment is just behind the trans gearshift cover. The shuttle compartment uses Case TCH fluid and the fill plug/dipstick for it is just in front of the trans gearshift cover, on the...

    580B block heater Q's

    The block heater from Case is adequate and efficient, as long as you are not in a hurry and don't have the machine out in a cold wind. I've seen the in-line heater hose units used and they work very well if plumbed in correctly. A lot of controversy over ether use, personally I'm on the side of...

    Case 580B shuttle pump...

    Robin, Try taking the rear cover back off, as in post #62 second last pic. Note that this is a Rockwell shuttle shown, see if yours looks the same. Note that there is a 'notched drum' either side of the aluminum piston housing. The rear drum is 'forward' clutch pack. See if this drum has some...

    580CK Heating Pads / Transmission Slow to move...

    Chip, Don't get in a hurry to take anything apart. He is some info, read post #8 & 10:https://www.heavyequipmentforums.com/showthread.php?t=20335 There are only 2 fill plugs(with dipsticks) on the 580CK trans-axle. The 3rd plug you speak is on the flywheel/converter housing and only used...

    '68 580CK Gage Replacements...

    Chip, The amp gauge had been replaced with a voltmeter before I got it. Not sure where your converter temp gauge came from. As I recall the temperature sensor located on the converter pressure regulator valve, actuates the 'middle' idiot light, on the dash. I believe the shuttle pressure...

    Questions On Starting a Backhoe business

    Welcome to the forum digginchaz :drinkup. Lots of good advice I think. Glad I'm not in the business. Getting paid, is something else to worry about. Lots of backhoes out there, seems everyone has one, so there's lots of competition. Takes a long time to build up a customer base, can you put...

    580CK Heating Pads / Transmission Slow to move...

    Chip, I don't think I've ever had a shuttle problem quite like yours. I'd like to know what your shuttle clutch pressure gauge indicates, when you get it replaced. Also curious what a converter pressure check indicates.There have been a few here that have tried ATF in the shuttle...

    '68 580CK Gage Replacements...

    Chip, I think the shuttle pressure ranges from approx 150-190psi when in the 'green'. I think the original gauge A33982 is still available. Coleman Equipment shows it as a good part# for $48. Can't help you with the tach. If they sit for a while with a broken cable they will seize up, but the...

    Dw-21

    Looks like it was, or is an 86E model, with direct electric start. It has the extra dash gauge and the easy to change hydraulic filter assembly. Phil:)

    580CK Heating Pads / Transmission Slow to move...

    Chip, What oil is in your shuttle compartment? Dash pressure gauge working? You should not have a problem in the summer with sluggishness, maybe the first 30 seconds or so, and it should not need to go up on it's outriggers, unless below freezing. Using #85-140 in the differential compartment...

    My first 580SK turbo

    Never had a backhoe with a turbo on it. Engine seems to run quieter with it. It was a 3 1/2 hour drive home, that's about as far as I will go for one, floating cost just gets too high. Shown here on Highway #41, she got a bird's eye view of all the lakes and hills we passed, through some of...

    Charging system not working. 580CK with gen

    Here are a couple of pictures. The mount I made uses a 3rd bolt, not shown, it's one of the power steering pump bolts. I like the early Delco alternator, but the cores are getting hard to find. It's a tight fit requiring just the right size of belt also. There are smaller alternators available...
