    case 580K phase 1, what is this tank?

    Hey Dan, this tank goes to the breather on the shuttle. When I first got the machine I did not understand what it was. Since I’ve owned this machine now for a while, I keep the shuttle up to level and it runs fine although sometimes I see Hytran coming up into that tank. maybe somebody put it on...

    580K power shuttle problem.?

    It comes thru the floor, and the catch bottle is right in between the fuel fill and the hydraulic fill under the hood.. I posted a pic of it before because we didn't know what it was for.

    580K power shuttle problem.?

    I do not see any oil until it stops. And where we are working is all dirt so its hard to tell if it is leaking while we are running. It does have a tank which I posted about before attached to the breather line that at times when I checked had oil backed up into it. The last couple of times it...

    580K power shuttle problem.?

    580K phase 1, When running for about 20 minutes or so it will drive forward and backward ok at first then after it gets hotter it starts to slip and will not push into a pile of dirt, kinda like it goes to neutral. This machine has 4000+ hours and it looks like I may need to do a rebuild of the...

    case 580K phase 1, what is this tank?

    I finally have time to update on this tank, it is a breather coming from the shuttle. Hytran accumulates back up in this tank after running for a while. What I have found now like airman replied i am going to say there is a problem in the shuttle. When running for about 20 minutes or so it will...

    case 580K phase 1, what is this tank?

    Mine is Phase 1, Shifter on the floor, not console. My serial number is hard to read but I can see JJG0010???. I see from other posts that I may be able to see it on the loader frame, I will check for it there. But with what I can see the number is below the JJG020000??? number I have seen on...

    case 580K phase 1, what is this tank?

    Now THAT is the answer I expected, Why is it when I buy one of these machines it is a unicorn? I'll repost when I get back to this in about a week. For the time being I''ll happily entertain any guesses.

    case 580K phase 1, what is this tank?

    The brake fluid reservoirs are out of the picture to the right. They sit right above the masters. The center of the screen is the tank we are looking at.

    You cant see the reservoirs in this picture. but they are to the right at the bottom. You can see the master cylinders just at the bottom of the pic.

    case 580K phase 1, what is this tank?

    That makes sense, I have yet to completely fill the fuel tank. When I fill the tank, it would back up into the auxilliary tank showing the main being full. I'll look into that.

    case 580K phase 1, what is this tank?

    I am not sure how that would work? You can’t run out your main tank then switch to the auxiliary tank, because everything would have to be bled out, correct? Strange I can’t find anything in any manuals about that. I’m not at the machine right now but I’m going to have to pull it out and see...

    case 580K phase 1, what is this tank?

    Doesn’t look stock to me, I’m going to have to take it out and see where this goes. Looks to be some hydraulic fluid in the bottom of tank, very little tho, but that is only a guess. The rad overflow is at the front of the engine also, that looks correct, also matches the books. I just wanted to...
