    I did a stupid thing

    Sold my backhoe, a phase 1 580K. I had all the work done that I wanted to do with it, made a small amount of money, learned a few things and had a lot of fun with it. Oh well, it gone and there's no reason to cry now. Damn, I'm sick. What was I thinking:Banghead

    Borg Warner Shuttle Forward Clutch Assembly Question

    In the print below, snap ring # 13 is supposed to be .090"-.093" thick. Problem is, the lower groove in my housing is much narrower. The snap rings I removed were .092, .084 and .052. All show where they have been firmly in place in a groove and I think I remember taking all of them out of...

    580K Phase 1 Transaxle Oil

    The manual says to use Case Transaxle fluid MS1317 and that is the only thing I have found that is 80W-140 and suitable for the wet brakes on this machine. According to the info found here, http://www.viscosityoil.com/nh_gear.htm, New Holland TRX is the same, but I've called three NH dealers and...

    Case 580K Question

    In the online picture of the swivel housing for the front axle of the 4x4 machine, item # 7 is called a "wear ring" on the Case site but the Coleman Equipment site calls it a "seal". The service manual also calls it a "wear ring". I have a leak which is dripping on the inside of my front...

    Newbie from NC

    I would like to take a minute for a quick introduction and to thank all the folks that make this site possible. I've been around farm equipment all my life but am new to what I have just bought, which is a 87 model Case 580K backhoe. I have a few jobs for it around the farm and by the time...
