DavCut Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 Perhaps it’s out of the photo @fjh, but if not I’d highly recommend blocking up the arms and upper jaw of the 4&1 to protect yourself from a sudden drop from a hydraulic failure. Want to ensure that you’re around to post more photos of your adventures with the 580. 😎 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeH Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 We have a JD450B, motor is great, but dont let the final drives sit unused. Ours sits a lot and the final drive clutch packs glued together. Someone told me you fill the housing with diesel and let it soak into the clutch packs, but we haven't tried it though. And be careful with that neutral safety plate, never crawl under a running machine. The linkage can wear out enough that it'll drop into gear even with that plate set over the shifter.

fjh Posted May 16, 2023 Author Share Posted May 16, 2023 Thanx Joe ! I passed on this Machine I And got the Case as pictured! I'm just picking it up to day I decided not to take on the bucket repair as I can no longer work over my shoulders and the welding project would have put me in that situation! So I sublet the job to a small welling shop down the road he did a mighty fine job ! 700 bucks well spent didn't hurt my self one bit! picking it up this morning before the traffic gets heavy! post pics in awhile! Next is to pull the boom cyl it has a crack that needs repaired at the anchor end that leaks when in use a bit! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well finally got around to installing the thumb on the old Case this week ! Should work out ok! Got it off Amazon for 500 ! After a few mods they sent the wrong pins and mount bracket so I had to sleeve the holes down to one inch as the bracket had 11/4 holes ! How ever Its mounted on there and We will see how it works! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
