File Format:
PDF (assumed if digital delivery is offered, or a digital scan of a print manual).
Searchability:
Likely searchable if a well-OCR'd PDF, allowing quick navigation to specific topics.
Engine Model Common:
Likely a Case-branded diesel engine, potentially a variant of the Cummins 4-390 or similar displacement (e.g., 236 ci / 3.86L, though specific model varies by year and configuration).
Horsepower Range:
Typically in the 55-70 HP range, depending on the specific engine option and configuration.
Torque Range:
Torque figures would be application-specific but designed for heavy-duty operation.
Injection Type:
Indirect injection (IDI) or direct injection (DI) diesel, with a robust injection pump (e.g., Bosch, CAV).
Type:
Liquid-cooled, with a radiator, fan, thermostat, and water pump.
Oil Type Common:
API CD or CE specification heavy-duty diesel engine oil (e.g., SAE 30 or 15W-40).
Filtration:
Dry-type air filter, typically with a safety element.
Type:
Manual transmission (e.g., 8-speed or 12-speed with synchronizers) or a powershift transmission (e.g., torque converter with planetary gearsets).
Type:
Powershift transmission was a common option for increased operator convenience and productivity.
Clutch:
Single or dual-plate dry clutch for manual transmission versions.
Fluid Type Manual:
API GL-4 or GL-5 gear oil (e.g., SAE 80W-90).
Fluid Type Powershift:
Universal Tractor Transmission Fluid (UTTF) or equivalent powershift transmission fluid.
Approximate Length:
Varies with backhoe configuration, typically around 20-25 feet (6-7.5 meters) when backhoe is deployed.
Approximate Width:
Typically around 72-78 inches (1.8-2 meters) at the widest point (tires).
Approximate Height:
Around 9-10 feet (2.7-3 meters) to the top of the ROPS or cab.
Operating Weight:
Typically in the range of 14,000 - 16,000 lbs (6,350 - 7,250 kg), depending on configuration and attachments.
Loader Lift Capacity:
Significant, designed for moving bulk materials, often rated at bucket capacity rather than direct lift.
Backhoe Digging Depth:
Typically around 14-18 feet (4.3-5.5 meters).
Roops Compliance:
Likely equipped with a Roll-Over Protective Structure (ROPS) meeting industry standards for operator safety.
Braking System:
Hydraulically activated, often internal expanding or disc brakes for reliable stopping power.
Seatbelts:
Seat belts typically standard with ROPS.
Operator Station:
Designed for operator visibility and ergonomic control placement.
Features:
Basic operator controls, gauges for engine vitals, and functional levers for loader and backhoe operation. No advanced infotainment systems.
Features:
Primarily mechanical and hydraulic systems; no modern electronic driver assistance features.
Features:
None. Designed for purely operational function.
Engine Oil Change:
Typically every 250-500 operating hours, or annually, depending on operating conditions.
Hydraulic Fluid Change:
Recommended every 1000-2000 operating hours, with filter changes more frequently.
Transmission Fluid Change:
Varies by transmission type, often around 1000-2000 hours.
Hydraulic Fluid Type:
ISO VG 46 hydraulic oil or compatible Universal Tractor Transmission Fluid (UTTF).
Coolant Type:
Ethylene glycol-based antifreeze, typically 50/50 mix with water, meeting heavy-duty diesel engine specifications.
Common Wear Items:
Hydraulic cylinder seals, loader/backhoe pivot bushings, main hydraulic pump, and transmission synchronizers (on manual models) are common wear items.
Electrical Reliability:
Older electrical systems can be prone to corrosion on connections and wire degradation; proper maintenance of grounds is crucial.
Filter Part Numbers Example
Engine Oil Filter:
Refer to specific engine service information, but common numbers might be Wix 51773 or equivalent.
Hydraulic Filter:
Refer to specific hydraulic system components, often a spin-on or cartridge type.
Manufacturer:
J.I. Case Company, a long-standing and reputable manufacturer of agricultural and construction equipment.
Positioning:
The 580 series represents a highly successful and influential line of backhoe loaders, with the 'CK' designation often referring to specific configurations and upgrades over earlier models. The Model B is a significant iteration in this lineage.
Production Period:
The Case 580 series has been in continuous production for decades, with the 'CK' and 'Model B' variants likely produced from the late 1960s through the 1970s.
