Restoring an old abandoned backhoe. Part 2

[@Ebikelover]

Great to see old machinery being fixed up and put back to use and the pride you feel doing the work yourself. And with your knowledge you get too save a ton of money. Very cool find.

[@wickedprotos1937]

I have that exact CASE backhoe. I let a yardworker use it and he ruined the shuttle transmission. I'm going to look over your videos with interest. I have the shuttle rebuild kit with seals and bearings etc. Thanks for this information!!!!

[@mikekisch5563]

its a pretty simple transmission. You should be able to rebuild it. I do recommend getting the service repair manual. Also I dont know if you have checked, but if the Electric clutch is stuck or engaged then it wont move forward or backward. good luck. im here if you need any help

[@wickedprotos1937]

@@mikekisch5563 Thanks Mike!!! They did burn the discs for sure. I did get the service manual on cd. :-)

[@pwner4once]

Love to see more of the process for troubleshooting the issues. Looking forward to the update!

[@thomasgoad3695]

The case is the best in this model. I have run them all. It has the most power

[@TedBishop1]

I like your down to earth approach keep up the good work

[@ineedmoney4964]

Hope you film as you go, I'd like to see the transformation, thanks for the vids

[@B0BB0Y45]

Keep up the good work, looking forward to your next video.

[@tedohio3038]

Had one of those. Great machine, lot of power. If I was re-wiring it I would bypass the safetyies, which as I remember was that the shuttle had to be in neutral. Had some issue with the starter circuit. Keep it simple. Also the breaks are a real POS. Never could get them both working, and they tend to lock up.

[@11111972cjb]

Back in the day you could take your Rams in and exchange them for reconditioned ones. I guess that no longer is available. I had a Furakawa rock breaker hanging off the back end. Mine was a John Deere. I was making $80:00 an hour back in the 80's but the breakdowns were a pain and expensive. All the best with it mate. Cheers from Perth Australia.

[@steveransley7227]

Good to see the next stage, thanks.

[@cereus57]

Keep working on and filming it Mike! I'm currently in the process of rebuilding all the cylinders on a smaller backhoe I use on my JD4700. That Case would be a big step up!

[@anytractorman]

Nice, for the money. Case is a good machine good luck with it. Make some more vids!

[@daveschwartz9712]

Best of luck with the backhoe

[@overtaker170]

Can’t wait for the finished product.

[@smoothfeeder]

Good video, keep them coming

[@hiscifi2986]

You need a panel light to start magnetising the field windings for the alternator to produce any electricity. Also a starter switch would be a nice luxury..

[@mikekisch5563]

good to know.

[@tectalabyss]

I just subscribed. All in all I think you have a winner. I hope to see more videos in this series. All my best.

[@antoniomancini1794]

Great video keep them coming.

[@ceciljohnson4788]

Don't do any wrenching without us!!!!!!!!

[@lewiemcneely9143]

The old 580's are good machines but very top heavy. Just keep the hoe boom swung uphill and the buckets low. All of them I've been around have been turned over at least once. Not hurt, just turned over.

[@mikekisch5563]

ok thats nice to know

[@lewiemcneely9143]

@@mikekisch5563 I've been in construction over 50 years as a driver and operator. This might keep you from getting hurt.

[@Mongomongo333]

I bought an old 580ck this summer to clear some area on my very steep property. I go verrry slow . These are definitely not made for steep inclines. If i dont back up the hills , i have to use the hoe as a wheelie bar...even with the front counterweight. Pucker Factor 10 when side hilling .

[@srmixalot1764]

new sub and I can't wait to see the finished product

[@anthonyyoung7344]

You don't have the transmission out you have the power shuttle out of it. The transmission in that machine is just like a farm tractor

[@Mad.Man.Marine]

Man. As far as the alternator. I’ve had equipment that was like that. And the alt was like 550 bucks to replace. So I ended up putting a medium size solar charge panel on the roofs. Never had a problem with them starting. Even using the machine all day on off on off. No prob. Just a thought. Good deal by the way.

[@morecowbell20]

As long as you're not using lights or a heater that's actually a great idea. Thanks!

[@Mad.Man.Marine]

@@morecowbell20 ya for sure. Even so. Sometimes it’s cheaper to just buy an additional battery. Especially in those instances where you can’t even find a replacement alt.

[@daveknowshow]

thanks for the update

[@t.c.bowling1934]

nice project

[@Rickimusic]

If real lucky, the alternator may just have bad brushes. We had this a number of times on our equipment.

[@farmworkMi]

Hope to see that power shift

[@dans_Learning_Curve]

New sub here. Looks like there's some end play it in the steering shaft. Noticed the steering wheel going up and down when you turned it. Going to watch your next video.

[@jimwilliamson7598]

Brakes are easy diy fix

[@mateuspinto9001]

SO FALTA PINTURA

[@ChileExpatFamily]

Nice buy. I wish I had one of those that I could rebuild. I think I would buy a good power washer and hit the whole tractor and then go to it. Have you changed the hydraulic fluid filter? I am not sure if there is one... Thanks Jim in Chile.

[@mikekisch5563]

I havent changed it yet, but it on my list

[@KPearce57]

The 01s are probably one way cylinders 03 are push -pull just a guess.

[@jasonnewell6834]

You can buy a new instrument cluster right from case

[@jasonnewell6834]

Looks like you have a nice tractor keep them videos coming

[@robdavies7]

Best of luck ! ;-)

[@duanecotter1463]

Power steering pump has ben discontinued . Last one I bought $750. the used part people know the prices

[@mikekisch5563]

i found a pump on ebay for 158 new, and i put a forklift steering valve on it for 100 off ebay. its not the same valve, but it works like you said i couldnt find a steering valve for cheap.

[@rico334]

Somebody laughed their ass off all the way to the bank............

[@guythattrolls]

Wire in a $20 solar panel in to keep that battery charged.

[@morecowbell20]

That's exactly what keeps mine charged, solar trickle charger from inside the cab (not covered in snow). The only batteries I didn't bring inside this winter (-40 a couple nights) were the ones on my 580C.

[@tedwpx123]

One brake "happy with that"? Don't cut too many corners and get hurt

[@mikekisch5563]

ok

[@guythattrolls]

Have not had brakes on our JD 410 backhoe for years. They are nice but not needed.

[@mateuspinto9001]

NA CASE

[@eds1994fatboy]

You know when mechanical things sit for years.....its either it comes back to life or its zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[@tomrausch7014]

What Case backhoe has NO name? Justin. Justin Case.

[@PaulHigginbothamSr]

did you contract haul it home with the guy for $500.00? You really could get a trailer to haul it for that. Might have to work on it though. You want good trailer brakes, because that baby will push you around. If after you run it a bit, if you unload the controls too quick it knocks the seals out. Be smooth with stopping and starting movement.

[@mikekisch5563]

Ok I'll be sure to keep that in mind about the forward and reverse.
