Thank you! I appreciate your input today. I saw your email and will likely follow up in more detail as I get into things. Viewers like you are what make this all worth it.

JJ, I haven't opened up the transaxle yet, but my suspicion is that I lost a tooth on the final drive. Any experience?

@@IndyFarmLife The back rear wheel has a poor design in the Phase I models. It wears the teeth or breaks the gear. Can't say that is your problem, but it acts just like you describe. Replaced it around 2006 with a stronger aftermarket version, no problems since. Just keep your speed down on roads.

Thanks for the info. It never sees the road and rarely goes more than 7 mph around our property. I may pick your brain more as I get into it. An aftermarket, better solution would be great!

Thorough Video on 580K Maintenance...BUT...it's so much easier if you raised the loader, put the safety bar in place on the cylinder, and then raise the hood...

I don't disagree, but if I can get it done and minimize as much risk as I can, I'm going that route. I also greased everything on the front end.

I paint the zerk fittings with bright neon color so I can find mine.

HI, Great videos, I just bought today a 580K and I have some maintenance to do, so your videos have been very helpful. Did you do a video on putting in generic gauges? I saw in one of your videos you mentioned you were going to change them out, but I couldn’t find a video if you made one. Thanks for the excellent job

Nice! You will love that machine! Good attention to detail! Sadly, I have not gotten around to installing said gauges. I still need to. Although, now I think I am having some transmission issues. That fix will certainly take priority. Good luck with your machine. At some point I'll get those gauges (and a video) installed.

What size ellen wrench to take off transmission oil plug? (Drain plug)? Thank you, great video!! 😊

Did you ever make a video on the fuel filters because I’ve got a 580k also and replaced the fuel filters now it won’t turn on tried bleeding it but I don’t really know the bleed process and can’t get it to turn on anymore

Are you planning on turning it into an extendedahoe and get more bucket's

I don't think I will go to the trouble of adding the extendahoe. I would love that, but a lot of work/cost. I do have a 24" and 12" bucket for it.

Cross thread it and go until you dent the oil can. Lmao

Haha. Who else can relate? 🤣

Seems like Case 580s have a lot more problems than other brands in the same weight class. Transmission problems seem like the topic at the top of the list. The question I have is how does this transmission differ among the other brands? Who has the simplest most rugged transmission on the market? After seeing what is involved with a Case transmission, I would not buy a used one. Does anyone have any advice about Deere, CAT, Kubota, Hitachi, Massey Fergeson? Which one would you choose among old used machines in the $3000 to $6000 range that have transmission, engine and hydraulic pump problems?

That engine sounds just like the Cummins in my wood chipper! SO you have hot weather now just like Florida?
