Hey..New guy. Thanks for the add ! I have a case 580b that has a cracked boom cylinder and I need to use the loader. Has anyone ever bypassed the rear controls ? And where might a guy find a cylinder near Central ohio? Thanks!
Lock the boom up and cap the lines for that cylinder
Don't know if B is the same but C has quick connects for the hoe.
Welcome to the Forums HP! Glad to have you. My dad's nickname is High-pockets. BTW - what Tyler said.
Welcome to HEF, HP ! It will probably be several hundred dollars cheaper to have hydraulic cylinder repair shop make a new barrel rather than buy another complete cylinder. It is a routine job for them. And they can put new seals in it when they do it. If you bought a used cylinder the chances are that it will need to be resealed also.
You could check around for close to you bone yards and CL and FB Market place. We just had a guy here local to me on CL, part out a Case B and he had a fair amount of the cylinders. Right now we have a listing on a guy with cylinders off a C.
I will check into that. Thanks. I figured a used cylinder would be cheaper even if I had to repack it myself. But this is my first go round with dealing with hyd. Cyl. So I know nothing ! One of the boom cylinder leaks badly and the other is cracked. I will cap the lines until I can fix them. At least I will be able to use the loader. I appreciate all the replies..
