Case 580C, 580CK Common Problems This Manual Covers
Case 580C 580CK brake pedal goes soft to the floor and won't hold, brake fluid disappears from the reservoir
Pull the master cylinder and inspect the bore for pitting or corrosion; these units aren't rebuildable, so a scored bore means full replacement. Confirm you're running DOT 3 fluid only, since the wrong fluid degrades the O-rings and mimics a seal failure. Bench bleed the new cylinder before installing and torque the mounting bolts to 45-50 ft-lbs.
Manual Section: Brakes p. 620Brakes fade or fail completely even after installing new master and slave cylinders, brake lining feels slick and greasy
Pull the brake housing and check the rear axle seal for hardening or cracking; migrating shuttle oil glazes the friction lining and kills braking even with new cylinders. Replace the seal, degrease the housing and discs, and replace the lining. Reinstall and torque the transaxle mounting bolts to 250-300 foot-pounds per the spec on page 20.
Manual Section: Brakes p. 620Loader forward movement won't lift or slips under load, reverse pack shifts fine
Run the power shuttle pressure checks: low forward clutch pressure with normal reverse confirms worn forward plates, since the forward pack does all loader work. Drain the shuttle, check the pan for friction material, replace the clutch pack, and refill with the full 8-1/2 U.S. quart capacity from page 462. Flush the cooler lines before restart.
Manual Section: Power Train p. 460Metallic debris shows up in the oil cooler strainer or torque converter return line
Cut open the oil cooler strainer and check for metallic debris; its presence confirms the forward clutch has already contaminated the torque converter. The converter is a sealed, welded unit with no serviceable internals, so a contaminated one must be replaced, not repaired, per page 500. Flush all shuttle lines and refill with the 8-1/2 quart capacity from page 462.
Manual Section: Power Train p. 500Instrument panel gauges read incorrectly or don't respond, dash lights flicker intermittently
Pull the instrument cluster and check every ground connection first; a loose chassis ground causes erratic gauge readings and flicker far more often than a bad gauge. Trace the wiring against the diagram to isolate the circuit, then continuity-test each suspect wire. Check battery specific gravity and charging rate before condemning any single gauge.
Manual Section: Electrical System p. 643Frequently Asked Questions
How to reset the hydraulic system on a Case 580C backhoe?
To reset the hydraulic system, it is recommended to flush it if a component failed due to contaminated oil. This involves draining the hydraulic reservoir, removing and discarding the hydraulic filter(s), installing new filter(s), and refilling the reservoir with new Case TCH Fluid. The system should then be flushed by cycling all cylinders with the engine running at 1/4 throttle, as detailed on page 4002-8. p. 299
What are the torque specs for the engine bolts on a Case 580C G207D engine?
For the Case 580C G207D engine, the cylinder head bolts (Grade 8, 12 pt. hd.) should be torqued to 105 to 115 ft. lbs. (122 to 137 Nm). Connecting rod nuts require 45 to 50 ft. lbs. (61 to 68 Nm), and crankshaft main bearing bolts are torqued to 90 to 100 ft. lbs. (122 to 136 Nm). p. 16
What is the correct torque for the hydraulic cylinder mounting bolts on a Case 580C?
The torque specifications for hydraulic cylinder mounting bolts vary by cylinder type. For Swing cylinders, the bolts are torqued to 700-750 ft-lbs (949-1017 N m). Stabilizer cylinder mounting bolts require 1000-1200 ft-lbs (1356-1627 N m), and Boom cylinder mounting bolts are 475-525 ft-lbs (644-711 N m). p. 376
What are the replacement specifications for Brake master cylinder?
The manual indicates that master cylinders are rebuildable, with repair kits available for components like the primary cup, piston, spring, check valve, and valve seat. If the cylinder bore has pitting, scoring, or rust, it should be honed to clean it up; otherwise, the master cylinder must be replaced if the damage is excessive. p. 622
