Hey Guys,
Lost forward on my Case 580C from stopped! (reverse works great) Did all the maintenance on my new to me Case 580C. (gear oil, engine oil, fuel, power shuttle, all filters,) When I changed the power shuttle fluid I noted some contamination with a 1/2 pint of grey hydraulic oil, some fine shiny metal in the drain pan (thought it was normal amount and no large pieces), and cleaned it all out along with a few metal flakes on the dipstick.
That day, the machine ran normally until it got hot and after a few hours, it started losing more and more power forward until I couldn't get moving in forward at all. The reverse ran like normal and was strong throughout. What's weird, eventually I got on a downhill giving me a rolling start by the end, and got into gear and I was then able to drive it forward like normal to get it back and park it. It's possible I overfilled the power shuttle fluid as I'm battling leaks and was afraid of running dry. Trying to figure out how to troubleshoot how to get forward back in the power shuttle...
Where would you go from here?
Any recommends?
Thank you!
