Repair guides, diagnostics, and parts intel from the bench. Written by the people pulling apart Case 580s on a Tuesday — for the people who’ll be doing the same on a Saturday.
Case Diagnostics Strong when you start the morning, then weak by lunchtime. If your Case 580 has plenty of lift on a cold pump and loses it as the hydraulic oil warms up, you're looking at one of the most predictable failures on this machine. Here's how to confirm it's the pump, what's actually happening inside the housing, and how to pick the right replacement the first time. BT Broken Tractor E
Case Service Guide Spongy pedal, pulling to one side, or no hold at all? Brake trouble on a Case C or D series backhoe almost always traces to one of four places — and one of those failures will ruin the brake pack if you don't catch it first. Here's how to diagnose it, what to order, and how to rebuild it right. BT Broken Tractor Editorial Team • Updated May 2026 • 14 min read
Rubber Tracks Buying Guide Picking rubber tracks is more than matching the brand on the side of your machine. Width, pitch, link count, guide type, and tread pattern all have to line up — and getting one wrong is the difference between 1,500 hours of solid service and an undercarriage tearing itself apart in 500. Here's how to get it right the first time. BT Broken Tractor Editorial Team &b
Undercarriage Reference Track gauge isn't just a measurement — it's the spec that decides which undercarriage configuration your machine actually has. Two Cat D6Cs can sit in the same yard with a nine-inch difference in gauge and need completely different track shoes, chains, rollers, and recoil springs. Here's how to measure it right and use the number to order parts that actually fit. BT
When a skid steer's loader starts crawling, a backhoe drifts under load, or the temperature gauge climbs, the temptation is to throw a new pump at it. Don't. Here's the diagnostic flow that isolates the actual failure in under an hour — and the four root causes behind nearly every hydraulic complaint on the job site. A hydraulic system has a small number of jobs — make pressure, hold p
Dealer quotes for cab glass replacement run $700 to $1,800 by the time you add labor. Here's how to do it yourself in an afternoon, what tempered vs. polycarbonate actually means for your work, and the one mistake that costs operators the price of a second pane. If you've ever caught a stick through the front of a forestry cab or had a rock kick up off the trencher and crater your door glass, you
If you own a Case backhoe long enough, you learn a frustrating truth: Hydraulic cylinder leaks don’t happen one at a time — especially once the machine gets some age on it. What it usually looks like: A boom cylinder starts sweating. Then a stabilizer starts drifting. Next week your loader lift starts weeping. Before you know it: You’ve ordered three seal kits Pai
If your Case 580 feels loose, clunky, or just “tired,” you’re not imagining it. Pin and bushing wear is one of the most common issues on Case 580 and 590-series backhoes. It sneaks up on you. One day it’s a little play… then the bucket won’t grade clean, the swing feels sloppy, and you start hearing the kind of noises that make you turn the radio up. He
If your Case machine still runs, but it’s getting harder to start, weaker under load, and burning oil… you’re probably asking the big question: Do I rebuild this engine — or replace it? For many Case machines running the Cummins 4B/4BT, replacement ends up being the better path because: It’s faster It’s more predictable It’s often closer in cost
The “reverse but no forward” issue, hot fade, solenoid problems—and the rebuild tips that make it last When a Case backhoe starts acting like it’s got reverse but no forward, or it pulls strong cold and then fades as it warms up, owners usually fear the worst. Here’s the truth: Most Case power shuttle failures fall into a few common patterns. If you match the symp
If you've ever tried to order parts for a Case 580 and thought, "It's a 580 — that's all I know" — you're not alone. And if you've ever ordered the wrong part because of it, you're really not alone. Here's the issue: "580" is the family name, not the full identity. Case built this machine in a long, continuous line from 1966 all the way through the 2000s, and they changed a lot from on
If you own a Case 580C, you’ve got one big advantage when rebuilding hydraulic cylinders: You don’t have to guess which seal kit you need. You can identify your piston style in about 10 seconds—without removing the cylinder—just by checking the stamp on the gland nut. That matters because Case 580B and early 580C machines often used a two-piece “split” piston, w
If you own a Case 580L backhoe, you already know what kind of machine it is: tough, simple, and still earning its keep decades later. If you’re thinking about buying one: The 580L is old enough to be affordable. Modern enough to still be seriously useful. A well-maintained 580L will outwork a lot of newer machines with bigger price tags. Here’s what every owner should know. Quic
