Part of the Case Repair Manuals.
A wheeled excavator that won't crank, or a brake pedal that goes soft on a slope, leaves a crew standing still. This is the Case factory repair manual for the 888P and 888P4A, printed in England. It covers the JI Case 6T-590 diesel, electrics, steering, axles, brakes, hydraulics, upperstructure and cab.
It gives you the factory figures, like 540 Nm (398 lb ft) on the wheel nuts and 205 litres (45.1 gallons) for the whole hydraulic system. A guessed torque or pressure figure is how a wheel works loose or a hose lets go under load.
Print the sections you need and take them to the bench. If oil gets on them, print them again.
