My weekend...

Ever have one of these that just doesn't end? I mean by leaving your Case 580 CK buried 2 feet deep in old manure with 2 blown power steering hoses? I'm at work now knowing what I'll be doing when I get home...

Today is.... wednesday. Extra long weekend? lol.

I try to remedy my disasters by about 6 or 7 pm on sunday and then call it quits, haha. Sucks man, good luck getting her out. Question, why didn't you just drive it out of the manure even without power steering? (COmmon hydraulic fluid?)

It had no steering whatsoever. Oh, I did it at about 3 pm, honked on it till dark, probably just made it worse! My weekend is Monday/Tuesday.

I’d be looking for something big enough to make pulling it out Step 1, and fixing the hoses Step 2 versus working in 2ft of the stuff.
….that’s just way two much squeezing up through your toes.

Knee high boots Brother! My cousin supposedly has a dozer... We will see. The spousal unit dropped the hoses off to get rebuilt, they should be ready to be picked up on my way home.

183.89 to rebuild the power steering hoses! Ouch!

I believe I would see if the hoe would pull it out

I tried that too, the ground is very soft and I can't seem to get a grip on it.

Hope all goes well repair and getting back on solid ground.

Well, I finally got through this. The $183 hoses did not fit, PIA to get returned and refunded. Found another place, Stiener Diesel service that did the hoses right, for $55! Got them on in 2 feet of manure water and mud. My good hunting boots started leaking. My wonderful wife actually helped me getting the thing filled up and fired up! My cousin came over with his dozer and pulled me back to dry ground with ease! Life is good! Praise be to God!
