    1967 Case 580CK dipper hose replacement

    Any recommendations on changing the dipper hoses. Should the boom be laying flat? Do I need to remove the cover from the bottom of the boom? Anything else I wouldn't expect?

    580CK Lost hydraulics while digging

    I was digging a trench and the backhoe wouldn't swing back after dumping the bucket. I tried all controls including the loader and nothing worked. No massive leaks under her and I didn't hear any unusual sounds. Is there any troubleshooting I can do before removing the hydraulic pump from behind...

    Case 580CK cylinders leaking

    Have a 67 loader backhoe with zero history. Yes the cylinders weeped a bit. I topped up the hydraulic fluid with, I don't know, 5-10 gallons? I lost count. It took a lot of oil to bring it up to the sight hole. Anyways, it seems like cylinder leaks are becoming worse now that it has been topped...

    Case 580 CK generator warm even before starting

    I rebuilt the fuel pump and put it all back together today. I cranked it a half dozen times to get fuel to the injectors. I walked around the tractor before it started and by chance put my hand on the generator and it was quite warm. Not too hot to touch but very warm. Wondering why. Some...

    Case 580CK Fuel Injector line seals

    On the injector ends of the fuel lines there appeared to O-rings. On two of them I dug out a flat rubber seal back in coupler. I don't see any seals on the Case parts diagrams. Are there part numbers for these?

    Case 580CK fuel filters

    I had Napa fuel filters on my tractor when I bought it. Getting new ones and the Case p/n A35863 is a wound string type cartridge that’s about 2 3/4” tall. The Napa 3516 is a metal cartridge that’s only about 2” tall. The dealer says they cross-reference. How can they both fit when they’re...

    1967 580CK diesel won't start

    I've searched threads and it seems there may be a few conditions to check. I want to get some specific troubleshooting recommendations. This tractor has always started with a snort of ether but today it would only fire long enough to burn off the ether. It wouldn't continue to run. It was...

    Is a rivet tool a must for relining brake bands and drums or can they be installed with a little ingenuity?

    Case 580CK Brake drum stuck in the housing

    The right side housing is loose but the drum seems to be caught and is coming off on an angle as I rotate the housing and pull it off. I'm thinking the front spring is broken or detached and the rear spring is still attached. Any ideas on how to get the housing off? Should I just pry it off and...

    Case 580CK Parking brake handle

    Can someone provide the dimensions of the parking brake handle rod? I see it the parts list as a round rod bent in a "Z" shape. How long is it and what are the small end lengths? Does it fit loose in the ratchet bar below the foot board or is it welded?

    Modern motor oils and vintage tractors

    I have a 1967 Case 580CK and from what I can gather on the forums is that the oil recommended at the time of manufacture was single weight oils. Are these recommendations still the best advice given the advances of motor oils over the last 50 years? The 530 manual indicates SAE 10W or 5W below...
