    CP-433 Losing hydraulic power

    I’ve had fuel problems in the past but our roller has thrown a new problem which I thought was fuel related. I’m thinking it is a hydraulic problem now. I can run it on low frequency but it is not vibrating strong. The engine sounds strong but the hydraulics seem weak. Turning, vibrating, and...

    Why does Caterpillar use high tracks?

    I have always been curious and never gotten a solid answer. I’m just wondering why caterpillar is the only company that uses the high track machines and what are the pros and cons.

    Case 750k low rpms

    I adjusted one of the linkages and then it idled way too high so I set it back to what it was. The deaccelerater pedal was sticking a little and I cleaned that up. That was last week and I haven’t had a chance to work on it this week.

    Case 750k low rpms

    I feel like I am lacking power. I just bought a Case 750k and it runs around 1600 rpm’s. That seems low and I want it to run around 1800 rpm’s minimum. I think the machine has been turned down due to being fleet owned.

    580sl Fan belt replacement

    I’ve got all the bolts out. It looked like the bushings came out toward the block though. Maybe I need a bigger hammer!

    580sl Fan belt replacement

    I’m looking for the best way to install new belt. I have spent all afternoon and have been spinning my wheels. I’m going to have the whole front end off soon. The damn hydraulic pump has chapped my rear. It seems so easy but it has proved otherwise. Any tricks or proper ways would be greatly...

    Case 580sl front bucket hydraulic problem

    Alrman, Thanks SO much for the help. I think I have located the problem. My skid plate underneath the loader control valve is bent causing it to hit something with a wire to it. I'm not sure what its called but I actually had to put one on before because of a root. One of my workers was...

    Case 580sl front bucket hydraulic problem

    Yes it will roll all the way back. It just rolls extremely slow. I'm starting to think it is something to do with this one valeve in the valve assembly itself. I don' feel any pressure on the control when worked. All the others work just fine except this.

    Case 580B - What's it capable of?

    1000 gallon tanks that I use weigh around 10,000 lbs. It's going to take a whole lot of backhoe to pick that up. My 580sl will not do the job. Bust it up and clean it out would be your best bet. I see your from TN and my inspector always specs at least a 1000 gallon tank for everything. I...

    Case 580sl front bucket hydraulic problem

    1996 Case 580sl. All hydraulics work fine except one. My front bucket has to be held "hard" for it to roll back. It moves very slowly almost like a valve is not opening up or there is trash in the system blocking fluid. Any ideas would be awesome.
