Maintenance on the Toro 580D

We do a little maintenance on the toro 580d

Great video man. I have a practical exam for a tractor operator at work tomorrow and the Toro 5800 bat wing is on it. Thanks for posting!

[@zerotalent6463]

Ya your right. We air hose our mowers first. The air filter and rad usually get clogged on dusty dry days anyways. Interested in the under carage washer. Gonna try and pitch that to the boss lol.

One of my pet peeves is working on dirty equipment. I truly feel that a good cleaning is always a good first step in PM

[@zerotalent6463]

Absolutely. Why should you have to work on a dirty machine with caked on mud. Machine stays quieter longer if you wash at end of every day anyways.

[@BobbyV78]

Is there another way to get to the blades under front deck besides getting under the deck?

[@davehaggerty3405]

Servicing the 580D with the Mitsubishi diesel, don’t miss the grease fitting on the water pump. Just a little shot every 100 hours or so. Those water pumps are pricy and difficult to access.

@@mherlevic1 with the hood open, climb up and stand right over the front of the motor. Right behind the drivers seat. With a pen light or something look straight down on the center line of the motor. That’s the water pump. The fitting should be on top. Unless someone’s had to change it out and got careless about the orientation. Good luck! Those were great old machines. That Mitsubishi diesel just hummed along. They had Perkins for a while. Now I think they use Cummins. Which are noisier.

[@davehaggerty3405]

@@mherlevic1 that’s the extent of what I recall. Maybe they made some that weren’t greaseable.

@@davehaggerty3405 Yeah the 5900 and 5910 use a Cummins 99HP Diesel. Those are a bit louder. Not as loud as thoes old Howard Price Hydro Power 180's with a 100HP Turbo Cummins. Thoes usually had the muffler stack on top of the hood which added to the noise.

[@davehaggerty3405]

@@dabking94.19 I had one of those Howard Price HP 180’s. It was older though. It had a Perkins diesel. I could go down the road to the JCB dealer for parts after figuring out which motor it was. It shook so much it broke the fuel injector lines. Tho some of the supports were missing. It was a good enough mower. But the Toro 580D’s were nicer. I bought older mowers for contract mowing for mostly factories. Keeping oil & filters in those diesels I’d wring over 10,000 hours out of them. Long after the mower was shot! I actually met Howard Price the man at the Louisville EXPO. An engineering type of fellow.

[@dabking94.19]

@@davehaggerty3405 Yeah usually the early 15' 180's were powerd by a 75 HP Perkins. The later 15' 180's had a 80 HP Cummins. Then the 16.5' 180 Turbos had 100-110 HP Cummins. Miss thoes old mowers. They were slightly larger than the 580D. If I could find one for sale in running condition for less than 1k I'd buy one.

[@tbhfoo1]

I like your sprayer attachment. Where do you get one of those?

[@wolfyseas3793]

Did you just drop that L/F?

[@cdbrown30]

How do you get the fuel filter off these things?My 4000d filter is just bending

[@Ignerence]

I just bought a 580d. I noticed you are using napa gold filters. Do you have all the filter part numbers handy for oil, hydraulic, air, fuel? Greatly appreciate if so :)

[@midstatelandsolutionsllc1515]

Actually we just started getting our filters and parts somewhere else. MTI distributing stocks about every toro part you can think of and they’re much cheaper than buying them at Napa. Best of all they’re all OEM parts and filters. Here’s a link to their website. www.mtidistributing.com/parts/ have your s/n when you call them and they can look up any part for your mower.

[@Ignerence]

I am not in the USA and napa is 3 min from me. Thanks though

[@Ignerence]

Napa Gold filters Hydraulic Filter- 1859 Air- 2126 Oil- 1768 Fuel filter- 3394 Fuel seperator (without water sensor, you will loose this function)- 3392

[@coopersand1804]

Mine had a low hydraulic light come on yesterday. It’s full. Ran fine for an hours today until I hit a bump. It shut off and won’t stay running. It turns over and stays running as long as the ignition key is held on. But dies if you let it go or hit the accelerator. Any ideas?

[@midstatelandsolutionsllc1515]

I definitely don’t claim to be a super mechanic. I’m more of a glorified oil change technician LOL however.....if I was a betting man I’d say your two issues are unrelated. You may have knocked a wire loose in your ignition or fuel system when you hit the bump. And your hydraulic light is probably just a bad sensor.

[@jesuschristfirst5775]

Do you know how to fix the high speed on this thing?

[@BobbyV78]

Is there grease zerks under?

[@midstatelandsolutionsllc1515]

There are no zerks under the deck. There are some under the machine around the rear steering linkage and front lift arms.

[@BobbyV78]

@@midstatelandsolutionsllc1515 thanks, would one be able to crawl under or would you recommend rear wheels be on some type of ramps?

[@midstatelandsolutionsllc1515]

@@BobbyV78 you should be able to just reach under without having to elevate the machine

[@BobbyV78]

@@midstatelandsolutionsllc1515 Thank you for replying. I will attempt to do that.
