#580sk

[@Raj-yy7xx]

I really appreciate you taking us through its full control usage. Thanks!

[@AndyFromm]

No problem, thanks for watching

[@hobel73]

Nice straightforward video. Thanks!

[@francescocosentini9264]

I got the same one but a 1994 my front joystick sticks at times

[@ronfraley4847]

Andy i have a older 580 k backhoe on your fluids video nothing was said about the power steering fluid location or where to check it would love to see where they are..

[@AndyFromm]

I'm pretty sure on mine it's part of the machine hydraulics

[@randyramsey458]

great video!

[@AndyFromm]

Thanks 👍

[@leeroyexcavator9149]

John Deere pattern, is what I call it and most everyone I know calls it. SAE or excavator is boom on the right lever.

Where abouts are you from? I'm not a construction guy by trade.

@@AndyFromm I was looking though videos to see if anyone was posting changing/replacing, case 3stick controls to the 2 stick control but can't find any.

[@AndyFromm]

@@leeroyexcavator9149 I'm sure it can be done but it would probably be easiest to have a parts machine

Hey Andy, You gave a great instructional video on the controls! The one thing I was unable to see that just out of view was what and where was the control to extend and pull back the Extendahoe function?

[@AndyFromm]

On this machine with this style controls, the extendahoe is the foot pedal on the right of the control tower. Toe down extends, heal down retracts. Thanks, I appreciate it.

[@maniek-pp4hg]

Is here the clutch is activated by a button next to the gear lever? I've never operated an excavator, but my cousin has a similar model. Generally they are very popular in Poland. And from what I can see, it is not complicated to use at all.

[@AndyFromm]

Yes there is one on the loader control lever and on the 4 speed transmission shifter. It is more of a fluid dump than a clutch because the the transmission has a torque converter and it is on or off.

thanks man hard to find a vid showing this on the super k series!

Sure wish i could find a reasonable priced rear glass for my old machine.

[@helencampbell7293]

Hi Andy Just watching your video on controls, most helpful. We have that same 580 SK 1995 & our seat control for up & down doesn't work. It will lift or adjust up , but won't stay up. Any help is appreciated.

[@AndyFromm]

Are you talking about the adjustment for different weight operators? There is a plastic nut that holds the springs that breaks. Mine just broke in the last year and I haven't been able to find a replacement. Thanks for watching

[@hugogonzalez-b6g]

Donde se encuentra el blokeo de diferencial?

[@AndyFromm]

This machine has none.

[@adrienchoppin]

Thanks 💪

[@AndyFromm]

No problem 👍

[@precisionfilms3777]

Open windows and show lights and signals. Maybe some operating footage

[@AndyFromm]

Made a video, hope it helps.

[@kerychesh9784]

1995 and still neat

[@AndyFromm]

They haven't really changed the case much since this model

[@tigerwoodz8711]

I think that pattern is called excavator controls. I'm no expert but I remember from watching another video. Nice rig.

[@AndyFromm]

Thanks, It could use some more power.

[@tigerwoodz8711]

@@AndyFromm I don't own a machine operate on for a living but I like heavy equipment a lot and when I was 15 I got operate a Komatsu excavator and I remember to this day the pattern for the controls. Your setup is the same pattern as most excavators bbut don't quote me on what its called.

[@AndyFromm]

@@tigerwoodz8711 thats cool.

[@codya3263]

Tiger Woodz, it’s backhoe controls, excavator controls are flipped, literally. When he shows the controls in the vid (pic diagram) flip one side to the other.

[@pastorkeri]

SAE (deere) backhoe controls , ISO are excavator standard

[@johnteelsexcavatingjohnnys7095]

Hey man , great video, try something, if you want when you are folding up and getting ready for transport, hold back or left on the right control and then bring the left control back as normal, it loads the system and the return won’t be as violent. Takes a bit of practice though.

[@AndyFromm]

I'll give it a try but it seems like on mine if I don't slam it, it won't go over center.

[@josephballaro2039]

Good advice I just got my first case and it seems to help!

[@Raj-yy7xx]

Hi Andy, would you know what type of Brake fluid and Hydraulic fluid it needs to use?

[@AndyFromm]

I'm not sure on other machines but the 580sk uses HY-Trans hydraulic fluid in the brakes and hydraulics.

[@Raj-yy7xx]

@@AndyFromm thanks mate!

[@miket9460]

That case backhoe is John deer control

[@AndyFromm]

Thanks Michael

[@miket9460]

Now the Controls on that case backhoe was reversed from John Deer it would be Cat Control the difference is the Control on right stick would be moved lift stick that would make it Cat .

[@AndyFromm]

@@miket9460 i haven't ran a cat or deere hoe so I can't say.

[@miket9460]

No just the controls on your case backhoe right now it's set up like John Deere the way the livers are in the back if you were to reverse them it would be a cat control case backhoe that's all

[@AndyFromm]

@@miket9460 ok

[@hafizimohd3540]

What the differences between 580K against 580 Super K

[@AndyFromm]

I don't know all the difference but I am pretty sure they have difference transmissions.

[@AndyFromm]

from my research online. the 580k: turbo or non turbo loader controls come out of the dash 4 speed shifter comes out of the floor to the right yellow fenders the 580sk: turbo or non turbo loader controls come out of the floor 4 speed synchronized shifter on the right console brown fenders parking brake & 4x4 levers come out of dash probably plenty more I missed

[@mr.samurai901]

This old Case has the good control setup , I despise the old foot pedal/ 3 stick controls.

[@AndyFromm]

I've never tried them, I looked specifically for this style. I don't think I'm coordinated enough to run a hand/foot hoe.

[@mr.samurai901]

@@AndyFromm They are awful, and offer no advantage to this style. I've never heard anyone say anything good about them. The main reason Case keeps them as standard is because many oldschool operators grew up using those, and still want them. They do it so to keep Case diehards as Case diehards lol. Besides that aspect, Case 580's with your type control setup are unbeatable backhoes. I ran a 580 Super M about 15 years ago and it was the nicest most powerful backhoe, I loved it and it was better than any Deere or Cat.

[@AndyFromm]

@@mr.samurai901 good to know! I'm glad I didn't get one with those controls, I tend to keep my stuff a while.

[@karensmith1181]

How do you check the transmission oil?

[@AndyFromm]

On the 580sk there should be a little flap on the floor mat between the backhoe controls and the seat with the dipstick under it.

Can we email?

[@HalloweenMan1]

How much was it?

[@AndyFromm]

The backhoe? I can't remember for sure, @$20k

[@HalloweenMan1]

I was trained on a 2 stick when I was like 10-11. I’m currently trying to get into the heavy Construction Academy to trained on more.

[@Raj-yy7xx]

Yeah I just picked one up for AU $20k too. Similar age and condition.

[@naybreed]

Omg that is too scary.
