case-ih 580c

I am looking to replace the starter on my Case 580c backhoe. The unit on it is a Delco #1109149. I see in a parts catalog that this machine also came with a Denso starter #028000-5880. The Delco unit should have a 10 tooth gear and the Denso unit has a 13 tooth gear. Same flywheel on engine for...

Hello everybody, I'm pretty new to the tractor world so I have an issue I need advice about. I have a Case 580C that has been working great up until a few weeks ago. I noticed the drive was getting more and more sluggish then I started smelling a differential fluid smell. Soon after that the...

bought 580 c with steering not working. low pressure at pump. New steering pump, > 1800 #. disassemble, & inspected control valve. rebuilt steering cylinders. When started, wheels went hard left...When manually turning steering wheel, some resistance, but no response with wheels.

Long story short, I got a 1979 Case 580c backhoe a while back and have been working on getting it back up and working. It had sat for a couple years before I bought it, and had hydraulic leaks, blown hoses, blown seals, water in all the fluids, etc, etc...it was a mess. The one thing that did...

I tried tractor supply, but they don't have anything big enough. It looks to be 1.5" diameter and 4.5-5" long. I tried searching everywhere, even by part number, but no luck. Also need the rubber boot for the later control lever. No luck there either. Newer machines don't have this same style...

Hi Guys, My Case 580C backhoe/loader, just blew a swing seal. It's finally time to start replacing seals and hoses before anything else goes. Is there a recommended seal brand or place to buy that's a good deal? I see the seal kits on Amazon, but not sure about the quality or price. Does...

Peddles go to floor

I have a Case 580C vintage 1980 or there abouts. It sat for a couple of years because it need some serious engine work which was finally done last winter. The problem now is that the instrument cluster which has 4 gauges isn't showing any life. There are 4 gauges- water temp, voltage, fuel...

Does anyone have a pic of a 1980 580c case dash and what all the buttons on the L/S of the steering wheel are??? New to me and none are labled, waiting on a book to explain everything

Just wanted to get a few ideas on what might be going on. I haven't had the time to look at it yet. I have a cylinder leaking so I would have to add fluid to the power steering pump from time to time. I would have a hard time steering. I would stop and add fluid and it would go back to normal...

Recently purchased a 1981 case 580c. It had no forward when I bought it. Tried cleaning the screen and changing the fluid, kind of seemed like it had been tried already. Goes into reverse without hesitation.

I have a Case 580C backhoe. The 3 brake pedals have free play in them before applying brakes as they should. When I put on emergency brake that also works fine. My problem is when I hold my foot on brake pedal and then put emergency brake on emergency brakes work. The problem is when I release...

Ok, so I learned a lot from this site by lurking to get up enough courage to pick up a 1980 Case 580C. It looked like a tight machine and strong. Started real fast, would lift both ends at idle no problem and fast. Price seemed fair...$7500. Pins were tight, bushings in great shape, no welds on...

Neighbor drained his differential...can't find anyplace to refill! I am not familiar with Case products and he has no manual. Thanks! UPDATE....found it!

I recently bought a Case 580C, It wasn't till I was driving it home that I realized the machine wouldn't move up any kind of incline in 3rd or 4th gears. 1st, 2nd & reverse seem fine. I see a lot of talk of "Shuttle Packs" being an issue. Is the shuttle pack part of the transmission or is it...

Hey guys and gals When I bought this beast it really only had the right brake working. And it worked well. I have been using it a lot in the past two months. I did check the fluids in the masters and noticed that the left brake pedal ( the middle one) Did not move ANY fluid when I looked down...

Can the Rim be flipped and bolted back into the wheel to gain a few inches of clearance for snow chains?

Ive found a Case 580C with a 3pt hitch/PTO, heated cab and no backhoe. price is 8k. what should I look for when i go see it? Does anyone know what the lift rating is on this tractor? would a 3pt hitch backhoe later on down the road be anywhere near as useful as the original backhoe that came on...

Hi there I have a 580c just got the transaxle back from the shop and put back in the machine. The problem I'm having is the top plate with shift forks did not make it down with the transaxle. I've tried a few different ways to line up the shift forks and install it but it never seems to have the...

Greetings! Case 580C backhoe valve control spool. Im a first time spool 're-O-ringer' and I may have done some damage. I completed all the O-ring changes on the internal parts of the boom and dipper spools, and the last thing was to change the wiper and o-ring under it. The diagram showed...

Alright I've got a stupid question. I haven't used a real tractor in more than 15 years. Just compact tractors with Hydrostatic Transmissions. I've used Excavators and a couple front loaders, but the only tractors I used way back when had a simple manual transmission. Use clutch, select...

Bought a well used 580C Backhoe. It was working fine and I was replacing hoses and fixing leaks. The transmission still works fine. The shuttle shifter is the problem. In the forward position it wont move. in the neutral it is in forward. In the reverse position it is in neutral. It can only be...

On my 580C I have the dreaded, "reverse no forward" disorder. Ok. So after much research, I was fairly confident that I needed to rebuild my shuttle. check! did that. Put things back together, and guess what.....no change. I also, at the same time, bought another 580c parts tractor. So, I...

I have a case 580C backhoe the worked fine when it was parked 2 years ago. I got it running again and everything works however the shuttle lever does not want to go into the full neutral position it goes straight from forward to reverse. if you play with the lever a little you can get it to...

I've got an old 580c that someone has cut and welded the front loader assembly. Really a hack job. There's a complete loader assembly for a 580e for sale near me. Anyone know if they are interchangeable. Thanks

I have gearlube leaking on my brakes which is common. On both sides I have new seals and little to no end play on shaft The leak is minimul but it doesn't need much to saturate brakes. I did notice I filled the transaxle a little over which I will correct but I don't believe that would cause...

Hello. Can't wait to get my new machine. It's being hauled up from Iowa this Wednesday. It's a 79 or 80 580c with a 3 point on the back. I guess it needs brake work, but the rest is supposed to be in decent shape. I sure hope it is!

injector? I went to buy a truck from a guy today and have been interested in tractors lately. In fact I just bought a YanmaR 2210D that I have to pick up neXt month. That said, this guy has a CASE 580 C. backhoe that I would love to have. It needs tires and starts right up. But its leaking...

Had this tractor for over fifteen years. Starter finally gave up. Got a rebuilt one from Case. It worked for three days. Took it back to Case; got another one that has worked for two weeks. No issues. Case calls and says "the plunger locked up because the voltage was too low". Am I to...

Just purchased a 580c backhoe and when we unloaded it to put it in the barn as I turned the wheel to the left fluid started to come out of the steering column right where the nut is to hold on the steering wheel. any ideas?

I have a 1979 Case 580C that is slow to engage the shuttle forward drive gear when the machine is cold. If you let it warm up about 10 minutes, it will engage normally and operate fine. No hesitation in engaging the shuttle reverse gear when cold. All hydraulics, bucket and backhoe, operate...

backhoe control sticks. Anybody fix theirs? Do you just take the sticks out the top and install a new seal underneath and reinstall the stick? I have no one local to ask as they are yokels like me.:) Sorry to post about something bigger than compact, but I got here with relatives riding a...

Hi Folks, Here is a newbie question. I am doing a rebuild on a 1978 Case 580C shuttle transmission due to slipping/not moving in forward. I have the service manual and have been following the disassembly steps. Everything was going fine right up to the point where I am supposed to remove...

Today I had to replace the main hydraulic supply hose under the loader valve. A while later (maybe an hour or so) the backhoe hydraulics were slow and weak. The loader is fine. Fast and strong. When operating a control, say raising the boom with a load in the bucket, the dipper drifts down and...

I just bought a 580c case backhoe and I was using it to demo a boat on my property. when I was cleaning up I noticed that when I used the dipper and boom at the same time both would stop working. I know I'm a little low on hydraulic fluid. But I didn't think that would cause my boom and dipper...

I just bought a 580c case backhoe about a month ago. The front bucket is trashed. It is fixable but needs a LOT of man hours to get it any where to be able to do a productive job. I posted a add on cragslist for a new (used) bucket and a guy that owns a Case 580 CK and he claims he was told...

Can anyone tell me the best way to remove the bushings holding the stabilizer ams in? Pin out, appears to be 2-3 bushing/sleeves that won't budge... Many thanks.

Here's a couple of pictures of my new (to me) Case 580C. It is a 1978, has 1,679 verified hours on it. It's only had 100 hours put on it in the last 10 years. The previous owner put all new hoses on it and rebuilt most of the cylinders three years ago. Filters and fluids were replaced this...

I just bought a 1979 580c Case from the Town for CHEAP money. It lived at the transfer station (compacting dumpsters and scooping up crappers) for most of it's life so it hasn't been used and abused to much. It does have some issues.... The power steering pump, hydraulics and shuttle leaks...

i have a 580c case and the problems is the engine and power shuttle were replaced with remans last summer.the other day i fired it up and it went forward great but reverse acts like either brakes are on or sluggish but if you let off the throttle it stop like slamming the brakes but there not...

We"ve got an early eighties model 580C. The seal on the top of the steering valve started leaking and it pumped oil up through the steering column. We replaced the seal with an OEM Case part and did nothing else to the valve. After reinstalling the valve, the wheels pull all of the way to the...

I've been looking on and off for a backhoe for a little while now and have come across a 580C for $8500. Talked to the owner tonight and he said he has owned the machine for 13 years, hoses are in good shape, tires about 75%, engine runs fine with no abnormal smoke, some rust but nothing...

I have rebuilt the tranny 2 times already on this backhoe and it is still leaking at the front...any idea's on what could possibly be wrong or what else to mess with? thanks

Looking forward to learning more about maintenance and repair of my machine.

case 580c 1979 any one ever take an extendahoe apart to rebuild the hydraulic cylinder?

I am rebuilding one of the boom cylinders on my machine. The piston at the end of the polished rod was a s.o.b. To break loose, but I got it loose. My question is the gland is really tight on the polished rod, I assume that the seals are swollen tightly around it. After working the gland back...

I own a 1979 580c case. While bring it back from the dead I noticed 5 or 6 of the rubber spacers that hold the steel hydraulic lines to the cylinders are missing. I called Case this morning and the cost for each spacer is $18.00 a piece. This seems a little rich to me, but I might be wrong...

Hey guys, I'm shopping for a backhoe. I called about one today that isn't running at the moment. The current owner says it was parked about a year ago. He said that it wouldn't shift unless they took the top of of the transmission and moved things around to get it to go. He thought the syncros...

Hey guys, Having to build pad for Mobile Home, 580c of friend, will start but not stay running, turn key off, starts again, then slowly dies. Like no fuel. I changed fuel filters, cleaned fuel tank, spit on it. Nothing seems to help. Is there some kind of kill switch, I have the manual one...

Hello, I own a Case 580C with a mechanical shuttle control. The engine runs fine and will hold steady RPM's when put in gear but tractor will barely crawl??? Never had that problem before?? All fluid levels are good. There is no noise at all when trying to move it. Tires just barely move...

Not been a good day for me. About two months ago, I bought an old Case 580c. The plan was to excavate a hill to build a shop, do a few odd little jobs and resell it. I've been piddling around with it in my free time, and have had a lot of fun. I've excavated about 250 yards, and the project...

Help, my first tractor engine is full of cracks!! The 207D has cracks from the top deck all the way down through one of the mains! I bought another block and it was worse-cracks all the way down through three mains!! Are all 207D's cracked? Can this be repaired? Can I possibly find a...

I just bought a case 580c-CK and have used it for less than 10 hours and already got it stuck. While stuck I noticed only one of my rear wheels was spinning. I'm wondering if there's a differential lock for this machine. Ya, I probably should have discovered this before I bought the machine but...

I have a 580C that has always run perfectly, no smoke, starts on first try, etc...This spring I ran it out of fuel because the fuel guage dosen't work. After filling it, it will run ok for about 30 sec then wants to stall (runing out of fuel?) It will recover when you restart it and dies 30 sec...

I just bought a CASE 580C backhoe from 1980 and came with no reverse. I purchased the Service manual and did pressure test on the shuttle as per procedure. It has good pump pressure on idle and 2000RMP as per specs. Also has good (same pressure 65 -145) idle/2000 RPM in Forward and Reverse but...

Hello to every one from Canada and Texas (summer & Winter) :thumbsup:

Hi guys... Any Ideas what this 1970's Case 580c might weigh?? Thanks John

Hi folks, I'm a newbie and looking for a hoe. From reading the forums I like Case the best. I found a 1981 680H with a 20k trailer included for $12k. I couldn't find much anything about the 680 series. The 580 is the most popular series and for the same vintage is close if not higher in...

Have a 580C with clutch cutout....not working.....can hear the solenoid kick in and out when you press the pedal, push the button, or toggle the switch. But it does not disengage the transmission. Pretty sure the soloenoid is working but I can't go any deeper than that.....need help.

I have a 580C which starts easily and has plenty of power for the 1st 10 to 15 minutes of operation and then you can here the engine pitch change accompanied by white smoke and almost no engine power. Sometimes it will continue to run at the reduced RPM sometimes it will just quit. In all cases...

I have a steering cylinder that had a chance encounter with a stump and needs replacement. I am curious as to the best way to remove the rod end joints. I have pulled the pin but when I try to remove the nut the whole bolt/elbow assembly turns and I see no way to get a wrench on the elbow to...

Hello, I just purchased a 580C with some pretty weak brakes. Actually one doesnt work (pedal goes to the floor) and the other barely stops the tractor. The wheel on the side that doesnt work has evidence of brake fluid on the wheel. Are these brakes just simple drum brakes like on a truck? Is...

Hello, Case Backhoe 580C( 1983) I'm trying to find mating connectors for my backhoe's 2 aux hydraulic connectors located near the back of the machine. The markings are hard to read and the "in and out" fittings are different sizes. Does anyone have information or experience on these. Thanks...

Hi. Does anybody have the specs like wieght, hp, extend-a-hoe reach, lift capacity, etc., for a mid-seventies model Case 580c CK? I am thinking of buying a New Holland TC40D with 16LA loader and 758C backhoe, and wanted to get a comparison of the two as far as abilities. I know the TC40D is not...

Hi. I am about to buy a NH tc40d with 16la and 758c. I spent alot of time on a mid seventies Case 580c backhoe, and I haven't really tested the tc40d to the point where I could compare the two. Not that I expect it to be just like the Case 580c, but does anyone know how these two would stack up...

580c won\'t start & it\'s only -10F Hey all, Well we came home late last night to find that the dealer had dropped off the 580 backhoe right in front of the house. Got to move it to a better spot. It has been below zero, F. She wouldn't start last night so I plugged her in [see photo] at...

Hi all, I'm new here. I was wondering if anyone out there had any tried and tested methods of securing a 580c backhoe from thieft? Also, where is a good inexpensive source for manuals? thank you for your help

Well Guys I went and looked at the hoe Saturday. Had the time to climb all over it. But unfortunately it would not start. Either the batteries are dead or there is a problem with the wiring. The reason I say this, is the accessories would run (i.e windshield wiper and heater) but the starter...

I gather the 580B is getting a little old now. I just found a 580c at a lowish price, but I'm not sure if I should keep saving for a 580S or later. Where the 580c's a bad bunch? or near indestructable? How is the digging ability compared to later models? How would it compare to a small (eg...
