Case 580SK g'box assembly

Welcome to the channel. In this episode, I do the final bit of assembly on the transaxle, plus a couple of minor repairs and modifications. Please enjoy.

Pete, this is great content! Not sure why your reviews and counts are not higher, however, not everyone own's a big backhoe. I have a 98 Case 590 Turbo and it locked up hard on me going downhill in reverse!! Front tires did a wheelie when the large rear tires locked up. I'm impressed with your skills in the backyard! I haven't tackled anything this size before but it looks like I need to see what went wrong and get'r fixed.

Hi Mr Martin! I'm with you, in that 'I don't know why my channels not doing any better, either'!!! Ha ha!! Ah well, it is what it is. I'm glad you enjoyed it, though. Your machine 'locking up' like that does not sound good. I really hope it's something simple and easy to fix. Not sure what the differences are between the 580 and the 590? But anyway, here's me wishing good things for you. Good luck, and thanks for the comment.

Thanks for the shoutout Pete. I’m going to hopefully say when and not if I get to Australia again visiting you will be on the agenda. For resurfacing large surfaces like you did I have a flat rear glass out of a pickup I lay on my solid flat work bench. I then stick wet dry sand paper to it with sanding disc adhesive and work part to be surfaced back and forth and circular motion, works good. Poor man’s surfacing machine.

Thanks Geoffrey, great advice about the sheet of glass. The idea of a trip to the US for me isn't out of the question, either.

Hi mate you’ve done really well with this, especially attacking it in the back yard. Just brilliant. I can’t thank you enough for the shoutout, that was really nice of you. I hope someday we can collaborate mate that would be great. I’m sure we can make it happen in the future

[@pete-mate3524]

Thanks for the support, Steve! I certainly appreciate it. Yeah, I'd love to catch up with Geoffrey someday, too. Fingers crossed, this thing will run like a dream when it's all done!! Ha ha!!

You’ve got steel balls Pete tackling that in your backyard. Great content and surprised your subscriber numbers aren’t higher. The camera work and sound have come on leaps & bounds - keep up the great work 🇬🇧

[@pete-mate3524]

Thanks for the support! It's not 'that' big of a job, and most of it was done on the back veranda. But yeah, doing it in a workshop would have been much more comfortable!! The more I video / edit, the more I learn. Thanks again! :-)

Thanks Rob! I appreciate your support. As a kid, I used to spend my school holidays in a little town called Geroa on the north end of 7 mile beach. Do you know the place? I've got a lot of awesome memories from there.

[@robkelly4527]

Did well to-do that in your backyard by yourself mate 👌
