I have a friend that has a 580 ck backhoe. He is wanting to get it running as it will not move. I said it probably is a torque converter. How hard is it to change and what is parts availability?
Not bad took me 4.5 hrs. ( I'm not a mechanic ) might as well put in a new pump as well while it's apart .Need a micromotor when bolting up the torch to get it within 4 or 5 thou.
Parts shouldn't be a problem. Do you need the service manual ? If you do need it, be specific as to which model 580 it is.
what's the trans pressure gauge say? there is a disconnector on the clutch pedal possibly that could be stuck, check the trans fluid under the steering column.
I have a friend that has a 580 ck backhoe. He is wanting to get it running as it will not move. Dos this mean won't run, won't start? Out of fuel, needs battery charged? I said it probably is a torque converter. Why do you think it needs a torque convertor? Random guess? Need a whole lot more info before random expensive guess parts throwing. Joe H
Runs, hydraulics work, won't move.
There is a lot more likely than a torque converter to cause this.
