Case 580C Repair all the brakes! New linings, rivets, machining, master, cylinders, All of it! VPT

Part 2 of fixing my hoe. Lots of brakes in this one, machining, riveting, replacing, and all that stuff that has to do with brakes.

[@morecowbell20]

I guess the "dirty hoe" joke is stock in trade, because I use it too! Thanks very much for this video. My 580C has no brakes at all anymore, so next week I'm finally going to fix them. Your video gives me the confidence to go for it. Thanks again!

[@VPTfab]

Haha, she's a good hoe though. Good luck with the brakes! They aren't anything complicated, just heavy!

[@PeterShaw-lb9lt]

When you rivet the bands always start from the centre and work out towards the ends that way you do not get any gaps between the lining and band

[@morecowbell20]

@@PeterShaw-lb9lt The bands I got from BrokenTractor didn't require rivets. They were bonded, which made my life easier. Thanks for that information though!

[@PeterShaw-lb9lt]

@morecowbell20 I was a brake bonder I bonded a lot of those brake bands and the discs it was easer and no rivets to score the drum or plates

MOFO YOU MADE MY DAY!!!Just stepped into this problem today on a 580d... little more advanced than the 430 row crop.

[@VPTfab]

@@user-iq3qm4mc3u I am glad it helped you! And thank you very much for watching!

[@rongray4118]

I truly wish I had a neighbor like you... amazed with your ability to lathe and machine.

[@VPTfab]

Thank you!

[@rongray4118]

You are an inspiration! I think I may be able to tackle the brakes on our old 580 CK...maybe! LOL!

[@VPTfab]

You'll have no problem getting them done. It is fairly strait forward, everything is just heavy! Take your time with them.

Good vid, helpfull tips. Thanks for posting.

[@VPTfab]

@@Logjam5 Thank you!

Your videos are GREAT! My 580C has almost no brakes so need to follow your procedure! Are your brakes still good after a year? If the oil eventually starts again to leak into the brakes can wreck the nice braking. This is one of the things I'm worried about for my own machine. I hope to start doing this project in a couple months, when it's warmer. THANKS!!!

[@VPTfab]

@@dansullivan4839 My brakes are doing great yet! Pedal has gone down just slightly in assume from the brakes beding in and since I don't have the auto adjusters anymore. Still no where near the floor though so I won't adjust them yet. Happy to have working brakes! Well worth the effort imo.

Wives love bleeding brakes. Take her out to dinner. Thanks for the video. I had no clue as to where to start.

[@richardvaradi683]

The switch above the ignition switch is for turn signals

[@VPTfab]

I think the wiring is bad for the lights. I plan to go threw and rewire most of the hoe someday.

[@charlestaylor2480]

Are you getting any buckets

[@VPTfab]

Not going to get any right now. If a super good deal pops up on one or I need a different size bucket for a project I might. I guess there is a want for the small 12" buckets, I may make some.

[@MikeScott-p6m]

i also have a case 580 c with no brakes could you fix my brakes ?

[@VPTfab]

Possibly, where you located?

[@jeffd.8917]

Where do those two little spings attach to pull back the brake shoes? I think I might have attached mine wrong. The pads fit tight to the drums. I had to flex the pads back slightly with a screw driver to get the drums to drop in. I am already at the end my adustement rod. Something seems wrong. Any ideas?

[@VPTfab]

I honestly don't know how they attach to the housing. I think they sat in a pocket in the housing then just attached to a little ear on the back of the brake shoes. The ear is just a punched out section of metal that is part of the brake shoe backing. Hope this helps

[@jeffd.8917]

@@VPTfab I know they are in the housing correctly. I think I have them on the ear correctly. I hope the Chinese shoes are to specification. I will make a video if I have to rip back apart. I hope the guy before me didn't use the wrong springs. I don't mind a slight mess up when learning, but the ground is a swampy muddy mess right now where I am trying to work. I really appreciate the response. Thanks again.

[@VPTfab]

@@jeffd.8917 You don't have the tensioner too tight?

[@jeffd.8917]

@@VPTfab No. Is absolutey as loose as it can go. I barely have a single thread showing at the top of the adjuster rod.

[@jeffd.8917]

@@VPTfab No. The self adjuster rod has only one top thread showing. I have them so loose I can't even put the locker nut on behind the acorn nut. I am worried because I cannot spin the tire by hand. If I loosen the left side up, I can spin the wheel, but when I did the right side, I could no longer spin either wheel by hand.

[@bradarrington8807]

Where did you get your parts from?

[@VPTfab]

I ended up getting everything off eBay. I got the linings from J&J AG equipment LLC on eBay. They had good feedback but obviously the parts are imports. I have no affiliation with them, just the one I picked to order from. I do prefer to support local first, eBay is just convenient for hard to find parts.
