Hello, I just joined so I could learn more about a machine I just bought, a 580ck backhoe. I believe it to be a 70 model. It runs good but it’s definitely an old machine. There’s some hydraulic leaks at the backhoe controls, stabilizer cylinders leak some and there’s a pretty steady drip of diesel from the injection pump area. I’m a mechanic, but I’ve spent my career working on commuter trains and just a little bit of time on construction equipment. But believe I’ll be able to tackle whatever repairs this machine needs. I bought it just to use around my 10 acres and hopefully dig up a bunch of cedar trees to clear the land some.
