Abandoned Backhoe Transmission Repair Will it be a Fail or Success? Part 4

In this Video on the Abandoned Case Backhoe I remove and replace some seals in the shuttle shift transmission. The Backhoe would not move in reverse. I pull the transmission apart and reinstall the entire assembly. The only cost was my time which was about 20 hours and a $45 seal kit.

Thanks so much for showing us the rebuild and installation process of your shuttle shift trans !! Glad you succeded !!!

[@roygabriel.2753]

Well done we couldn’t miss the smile on your face and the relief when it moved. Onward and up would. You will be digging up a living in no time.

It works! Great job. Must have been a relief when it moved. Keep going.

[@MRrwmac]

Congratulations! Complicated but you got it done and it works!

[@JourneymanRandy]

I rebuilt the shuttle trans on my 580K about 12 years ago. It looks the same. I put a new pump in and new clutch packs and all the seals. It still works great. Good video

[@mrbussey]

Very nice rebuild. Can't believe how small the transmission is! I guess I expected everything to be big compared to the overall machine.

[@pauldemeules9927]

Wow this was very helpful since I am looking at a Case 580B with Shuttle Shift issues. Motor is strong and rebuilt I think I can handle the process you went through to get it running again.

[@flamingskoda]

Good effort fixing the transmission. Greetings from the UK

[@rockeerockey6941]

Great job Mike, I'm enjoying the vids

[@kingplumber]

I put the guide studs in a vice and cut a slot in the end so I can use a screwdriver to retrieve. I also put a slight bevel on the outward ends. God bless you.

[@Mongomongo333]

The thing looks like a Velvet Drive marine transmission. Nice job!

[@tectalabyss]

Thank you for keeping us informed on this series. Both my transmissions are huge. And I have six or more cylinders to repack. I feel for you. Keep the videos coming. I Liked,Shared,Added to playlists. All my best.

[@mikekisch5563]

the cylinders are pretty easy it takes about 45 minutes each with no problems

[@tectalabyss]

@@mikekisch5563 one of the cylinders I have to fix has been welded. That's on the John deere 300 and the parts are hard to find MF 50A , the one I nicknamed the brute makes two of the John deere. It's a Massey Ferguson 50A both are old and need a lot of love : ) All my best.

for a guy who doesn't know anything about transmission I think you're not too bad, for me I think you know a lot more than you're saying, good luck.

[@chuckinwyoming8526]

Things are looking better. Starting to look like you may have a good machine! I was impressed with the improvements case made in the 580 transmission design from my 1966 and 1967 580 Construction King. When I got the 1966 the power shuttle and clutch pressure relief spool valve were really bad with bits of metal and broken springs from the power shuttle clutch assembly. Much easier to work on the newer design. But I got it working and put another 11,000 hours on the 1966. When totally worn out with over 36,000 hours I got the 1967 which was in a lot better shape. It is great to have 2 nearly identical machines with spare parts to rob and keep the best one running. Did a job yesterday and the 52 year old hoe still works great! Just take the time to service the equipment, don't abuse them and they keep doing the work! Thanks Mike!!

[@fastst1]

ayep, start by removing the hoe, then the rear axle, 4spd gearbox then into the shuttle. I'm still using mine but yes both clutch packs were roached. I think mine is a 1970, still going strong. No hour meter as someone swapped in a tractor distributor.

[@robdavies7]

Well done mate ! a big feather in your cap ! ;-) :-)

[@amossnowdaharleyman9179]

nice $45.00 fix! No reverse means cheap purchase price on the unit. Very good find and job.

[@Mad.Man.Marine]

Anyone else ether think or say bless you when he sneezed lol

[@jlucasound]

I read your post before I started the video and forgot. Instinctively I said "Bless You" when he sneezed. Instantly I remembered your post. I think Mike is blessed already. He found this machine for dirt cheap and he is going to bring it back to it's full potential. Case is an excellent brand. I don't think time has done anything to this backhoe that Mike can't deal with. He is going to get many years of use out of this or flip it for a very handsome markup. Sorry Mike, for talking to this commenter behind your back. ;-)

When they recommend 40-50 ft/lbs, if I were you I'd split the diff. 45ft/lbs. That's my guess. ;)

[@tommystone7327]

Awesome

[@morgansword]

I had the worst time getting the trans disconnect with the brake pedal adjustment just right so it didn't clunk in and out of gear as when you step on the brake, everything works but forwards and back. That is so you can ease into something and then step on the brake and throttle up to say lift or whatnot as it is such a fine line between right and wrong. I had air in one wheel cylinder and it just didn't say go here and the troubles are over, nope, a fight was in process with me and it... the stubborn in me won after several rounds. Never so happy as to see things finally go my way. I found that the "O" rings are more important than say the clutches or any band locks that worked on the park system. A lot of the stuff had been bypassed before me so finding and fixing was a uphill battle. Now a trip to the store for clothes line rope if it is the type that takes the rope seals in he ends of the packing on the cylinders

[@alemaomecanica1596]

Im from Brazil 👍👏👍

[@vernchaput6368]

When you had Trans apart you should have polished all the steels with fine Emory paper sheets (like 400 grit). Clean is king!

[@CantKillMe]

if it was me i would go 45ft-lb but nice job keep it up

[@farmall1farmall132]

All internal wear parts I would have changed while in there that's alot of work to go through and not change everything ..

[@BarnyardEngineering]

It would have been prudent yes, but how much $$$? Time's "free" when it's your own and the parts looked serviceable so why sink a bunch of money into it if you don't have to? Not like it's going to be a frontline everyday heavy use machine.

[@farmall1farmall132]

@@BarnyardEngineering even if I don't use the machine daily or its not a showroom piece if I'm in there I'm changing it.. I want every piece of equipment I own reliable and not questionable because when I need it i need it. Maybe your time is free but mines extremely valuable and I wouldn't want to spend it repeatedly doing something I could have resolved the first time.

[@KevinBenecke]

A good welding rig will take care of that. I don't know if I missed it. But what was the problem that reverse didn't work in the first place? I was looking at that tire at 23:20. Is it flat or just in a hole?

[@farmingforfunandprofit940]

In the past John Deere and Case used bsically the same "Foward -reverse gearbox.. made by Spicer........Torque converter drive

[@robstirling3173]

Those internals look just like the Borg Warner marine gearbox. ( it doesn't have the sum though)

[@bricehoogenboom6483]

Does control valve come out on solenoid side or right side? Having issues but want to check valve before ripping out whole shuttle.

[@pendejodelllano2794]

Ya cambié los discos pero no tiene fuerza solo reversa!

[@richardgalli7262]

Just a suggestion pressure washing the parts before disassembly would greatly help keeping the internal systems clean.

[@mikekisch5563]

i know there is so much cached on oil/dirt you cant even tell i pressure washed it. i did pressure wash it buy the way.

[@kululv]

good video! but I only heard talking about the front clutch, which was good. but somehow i missed the rear clutch. what was wrong and when did you fix it?

[@mikekisch5563]

All i had to do was replace the seal on the rear clutch. per service manual enough fluid was getting past it to not engage the rear clutch.

[@fastst1]

heh, mind the grinder spray, had a guy in the shop set his crotch aflame by accident, had to beat out the flames with a shovel. That looks like a much easier swap than my CK580

[@gerlandkent6377]

as, far as THE F ft TORK LBS I, would have to look in the owners manual

[@Mad.Man.Marine]

No shit. That’s just a borg Warner 71-72 series marine transmission lol. Well almost. I bet it uses a ton of the same parts. The oil pan is different.

[@johnfeemster4137]

so many of parts like clutches, forward clutch piston and bevel spring look like an old medium case ford..

[@markmckinley5989]

So was the issue a leaking seal or the rusting clutches causing the unit to bind up?

[@mikekisch5563]

the manual said fluid was leaking past the seals, so i think the seals, but im not 100%. i just know it works now.

[@warrenmichael918]

reverse to forward looks smooth, forward to reverse looks a little rough. Maybe it was just the way it looked on video. usually fast shifts between forward to reverse are fairly smooth and vice versa..

[@gregbutler9873]

@@mikekisch5563 Yes I thought you had a reverse clutch leaking ... tractor moves forward and not in reverse because the planetary shifts/moves forward but not reverse, that seal leaks . One little nick on a seal/o-ring and you lose that required pressure to the solenoid that will allow the planetary to shift from forward to reverse. I have rebuilt/repaired every transmission , torque convertor , and planetary drive from D 6-11 crawler type tractors , 24 H road graders , and 797 off highway trucks and I have seen everything from a missing plug in a planetary causing a complete tear down . to finding a leg off a pair of blue jeans in the suction stub on a 797 torques convertor .

[@alastor5275]

I would split the difference and torque it at 45ftlbs but that's just me.. I love that old iron like that alot easier to work on and if it's done right you don't have a bit of trouble but hose leaks and batteries.. hate them electronical Gremlins 😂😂

You have a good memory or you laid them out in a pattern to put it back together. I’ve never been able to use an exploded view, they always confuse me. 40-50 ft.lbs. To me means 45

[@waynep343]

if you are tired of fighting the piston seals into the drums.. stop by your local transmission parts supplier.. not a transmission shop for the most part.. and pick up a globaltransmissionparts.com/transmission-lip-wizard-installation-tool/ with this you can roll your seal lips in crazy easily .. and those clutches that the steels had marks on them had probably gotten wet at one point.. the clutch surface melted and transferred to the steels.. chances are the friction material is going to come off those discs within a few hours of use causing the transmission to SLIP in that direction..

[@PaulHigginbothamSr]

If you would have taken the machine out to the road and driven out a mile and back, we would have gone with you. Good mechanics take it out so they can be sure nothing is misaligned or overheating by putting up and down a road that is not traveled heavily. But the steering is so crappy I can see why you didn't. But real good job on the transmission. I see you have put at least one brake on so it could have gone out for a joy ride, but for that steering being bad.

[@mikekisch5563]

I totally want to take it down the road, i have to get the brakes working.
