My Case 580C steering system was toast.
List of problems:
Below are some pictures of the start of my complete rebuild. More hours into the repairs than I want to admit. Lots of welding, grinding, machining, sandblasting, and painting. Not to mention replacement parts too. Plus a lot of head-scratching!
The Axle is too heavy and awkward to position on the milling machine so I cut the yokes off.
The hub bore is just a little oversized...Haha. The inner bearing balls were dust.
Seal area destroyed:
