CASE CK580B BACKHOE STEERING REPAIR

[@allanturner5325]

Some folks seem to watch your videos just to call you out about things that they would do differently lol, as a mechanic myself and from watching your channel I realize that if you’re not there in the moment then you have no idea of the circumstances involved, you are good enough at what you do that I’ve never questioned your method of how you get it done as I know you have a reason for doing it the way it has to be done, thanks for sharing your projects!

[@southjerseysound7340]

The guys that call people out like that are just internet experts and usually don't know their ass from their head. They come to watch and learn from him, but when they see something where they think they know better they run their mouths to feel better about themselves. But if you put them in a situation where they were isolated with limited resources they'd fail miserably. When it comes down to it every experienced mechanic knows there's more than one way to make most repairs and get a good, safe,reliable repair. Seriously it's a old tractor and not a F-16 we're talking about.

The 580 b and th580E were two of the finest backhoes ever made. I may have had a hand in building that backhoe. I worked in that plant for 31 years

I worked on construction jobs in the 1970’s and I was amazed how versatile the Case backhoes were. Nearly all the contractors had them. Some talented operators could make them function like an extension of their arms and legs - amazing!

I’d say you did.

Gee whiz, haven a coffee , being a night owl sometimes, and there is a Jonathan video ! Lucky me !!

[@j.c.smithprojects]

Every time i replaced a bad hose, i would replace the "next worse" one at the same time. tried to stay ahead of the mess. sure miss having an old backhoe around.

[@John-lu3yq]

Nana is such a scene stealer ! Good job as always

[@joedyer8824]

Do you know how many people would have just replaced that cylinder, I like the way you think Jonathan no money spent that's awesome

[@barryphillips7327]

Jonathan makes good use of his resources and knowledge rather throwing money ( he does not have ) at it, Anyone who has watched his video,s will be in No Doubt about Jonathan,s ability,s to repair or rebuild things.

[@southjerseysound7340]

My dad was similar but it's my wife's grandfather that really showed me that you can rebuild almost anything. He was from Bulgaria and also built his own tools from scratch. We're talking a complete woodworking shop and a combination metal lathe and mill. He used things like scrap I beams, rail road track, rebar etc. It was all done during Communism and it's how he made extra money.

[@shfr1747]

In NZ we call that No8 wire thinking. Cos No8 wire can fix almost anything. Makin do! Jonathan, are you sure there's no kiwi in you! Haha nice work n

[@barryphillips7327]

I am a Kiwi too, yes no 8 wire has repaired many things.

[@pappabob29]

One learns with experience, it's always good to "have a look" first. "throwing parts" at things is the expensive way to trouble-shoot. Find the problem/issue first. That will lead you to the most "expedient" solution. "Building a scenario" usually turns out to be a concept that is WAY MORE COMPLICATED then the actual problem once it is discovered. Anyone who fixes lots of things they are not "expert/familiar" with has had that experience.

[@CrazyPetez]

Simply put: Nana fixed the steering👏👏👏🥰

Nana is cat scanning the whole backhoe because she ❤️s you and wants to be near you. She’s lovely.

[@phatiusdaddius67]

Jonathan I have spent thousands of hours in the seat of those case backhoes. Starting with the 480 construction king. Earned a great Iiving for 43 years with rubber tire backhoes. You are missing a short hydraulic cylinder between the right side loader arm and hoist cylinder. It is a equalizer cylinder to keep same pressure between both lift cylinders. That backhoe has a lot of life left. Love all your videos and watch every one. You and your family keep safe.

I think that Ninna does have some kind of super-kitty healing power. Well, aside from the obvious Catscan ability. Good fix. Looking forward to the splitting of the machine. I've seen a little bit about seals and cylinders on Abom79's channel, but nothing about big fixes. Should be good! Thanks, and Meow to Ninja Catscan.

[@markhensley1589]

That old case is a workhorse. I'm in Illinois and that tractor would still bring $3500 easy. I had a 1969 580 gas that I loved and used for years. It's well worth spending what you have to in order to make it dependable. Now that you have it, you'll wonder how you ever got along without it. Good job on that steering repair. That's probably why it was not in use.

[@geoffreyjones2000]

Nanna said that you didn't grease the joints yet, sir

[@leewade4304]

Great video, I really believe you can fix anything. I never seen anyone that knows what the parts proper names are, when I go get a part I better have the old part in my hand and then the other guy across for me has a blank look on his face and says what is it. Lol

[@w.rustylane5650]

Glad you got the steering fixed pretty easily. I don't blame you for not replacing or repacking that cylinder. Heck, if it works don't fix it.

Nice fix on the steering, good that the cylinder was the culprit that was keeping it from turning. I agree, most people would have blown the money on a new cylinder and not even tried to trouble shoot the old one. I'm the same way, if I can fix it I'll do that first before I blow a bunch of cash unnecessarily.

The at the time biggest tunnel construction company in the us SE HEALEY FROM ILLINOIS WAS FINISHING A TUNNEL IN NEW YORK. THEY NEEDED A D6 SO THEY BOUGHT ONE AND FINISHED THE JOB IN TBE MID 1980S THEY SOLD THE COMPANY. AND DID A INVITORY OF ALL THEIR EQUIPMENT AROUND THE WORLD IN THE BACK. OF THEIR WAREHOUSE FOUND THE LONG FORGOTTEN 1958 D6 WITH 80+ HOURS ON IT. They shipped it to Washington state to finish another tunnel. Then it was put on a piece of ground they leased to store equipment. But the guy they leased the ground from was allowed free use of it. Its still there far as I know age doesn't mean shit it's condition

Elimination process , one by one , follow them through . Gets the job done . Your right about the rams , easy to do with new seal kits . Other than costing lot to have them repaired in a workshop . Locknuts save everything falling apart , makes sense to use them , false economy using ordinary nuts . Keep up the excellent work and content .

[@jameswieser483]

That backhoe is great machine. I would never get tired of working on it between hot rod projects. That machine is capable of doing so many different things. Just keep plugging away at it and you’ll have everything on it working again.

[@super6954]

Glad you figured out the steering problems, I've no idea what that part in the ram was , but it's amazing whats found sometimes that don't belong. The slew cylinder seals were leaking hydraulic oil into the slew rack gear box and pushing the gear oil and hyd oil mix out the top on my JCB backhoe loader. I got the new seals cheap from Ebay and pulled the cylinders off. On one side there was a nice shiny 1/4 thread grey iron pipe cap fell out. why the heck somebody put that in there I have no idea as it wouldn't fit through the hydraulic system and fittings to get in there. Luckily it hadn't got crushed up or scored anything while the machine was working with it in there either. Thanks for the video, Take care

Massey Ferguson uses steering cylinders with sleeves inside like that.

[@phatiusdaddius67]

Also there is a lock on the boom. If you rev the engine up around 1200 rpm and lift the boom about 3/4 way up then pull back on boom lever till it goes over center than push forward on lever and boom will come towards you and lock. Takes a little practice if you have never done it. Have fun working on backhoe. :-)

Jonathan, I've come to the conclusion that given the tools you could do a heart transplant or bypass surgery👍 That entire 580 series are enormous work horses that can take the beating. Back when I worked for a utility contractor... Operators worked and beat the day lights out of them ( not in a abusive way) in the areas we had to go through at times clearing a path through woods to trench through or plow cable ..digging boulders it took 2 hoe's to move ...they remind me of the oldctimex commercial.. " takes a licking and keep on ticking" or the energizer bunny .. " just keeps going and going and going"

[@johna1160]

Jonathan, great that you were able to repair the cylinder. Wondering if throwing a new $166. steering pump at it first was necessary.

[@oilshieldrustproofing8828]

And the reason I wouldn't change the pump first is because it was steering in one direction!
