Been there done that and my best advice to you is RUN as fast and far as you can as you are about to get a degree in higher learning on just how much one littel box of pices and parts can cost . Ofcourse that is if it still avlabule as the pices and parts for a 580 B case back hoe are no longer Avalibule, a couple years ago a local guy came to me with this LITTEL probelm his 580B after it warmed up for 5-10 min. would not go foward and he just bought this here hoe that him and a buddy went to look at that was SUCH a DEAL As it was only 10500 bucks but they realy did not know much about one but it was a real steal . Any who i tryed not to get into this bad deal from the start but he was a friend of a friend and i got stuck in the middel . Well first off this machine had a cab and it was a toqure convertershuttel or hyd shuttel depending on how ya want to call it . First off it was a nightmare getting it split then i get the shuttel out of it and tore down well the foward clutch pack is plum wiped out , ok not a big deal here need clutches and plates and some seals and a couple of this and that and we are home free , YEA WRIGHT guess what go to the case industrail store and was treated like i had the plauge well i don't need this guy as there are othere place for me to get parts to fix this thing , well after tryen to find parts the only thing that i could get for it was a whole NEW shuttel at the mear cost of 4750 buck and it was not for a loader backhoe it was for a 580 B wioth out a back hoe but with live PTo but if you did this to it and that to it it would work but firt ya had to find the three soft plug to plug the hole going thru it that the PTO shaft sealed with sealing rings and here again after a week of tryen to find the case part no. we ended up going to a machine shop and having them made . So since i already had a month invested in this job and was loosen my donkey on it and sure as heck did not want to EVER SEE this thing back i ended up going thru everything only to find that this guy also needed a new torque converter there i found a rebuilt one and after it was all back together and i had my money i come to find out that he had a price from the Case store to fix this for over 10000 bucks and he got off real cheep from me with only a littel over 7800 in his bill So he now has a 580 B that for what he has in it he could have stoped buy my place and with one phone call i could have had him a GOOD running580 C or newer for what he paid for the B before the repairs. So when you find a use pice of Ind. equipment it is usualy WELL used up. But it is your money.
