    Pierre, Generally speaking all flywheel ring gears are installed the same way. You will have to remove the flywheel from the engine. You will have decide if you want to remove the engine from the machine or remove the transmission and torque convertor to get the flywheel off. When you have it off look for any engine oil leakage from the rear main bearing seal. If it is leaking, now is the time to replace the seal. If you get on the YouTube website and do a search for flywheel ring gear replacement ,there are numerous videos there showing how to do the ring gear removal and replacement. Be very careful that you do not get the ring gear too hot when you heat it. You will see some people heating them with an oxy/acetylene torch. I would advise you to do it correctly in an oven where you can get the exact temperature it needs to be. Be sure to look at your new ring gear closely, sometimes the teeth are beveled to aid starter engagement. If it is you need the bevel facing forward towards the starter when the flywheel is installed.

    excuse my explication my problem is not install the ring gear its what is the method for put out the torque convertor and his housing if i want dont remove the motor

    No problem Pierre, I am not at all familiar with the K models. But it has to be like any other T/L/B. The transmission has to come out first. If it is bolted to the bell housing then it also has to come out to give you access to the torque convertor. Unless you can get the torque convertor out and not need to remove the bell-housing. Whenever I remove a flywheel for the first time I punch mark the flywheel and the crankshaft so I can get them back together in the exact same position as they were before they were separated. Replacing the transmission can be a little frustrating because the input shaft in it has to be lined up with the torque convertor correctly before it will slide completely together. Do not try to force it. Cut the heads off of a couple 4 inch long bolts and use them for guide bolts when sliding the transmission and torque together. A shop manual is nice to have but you can most likely do the job without one. If you have a problem post it here and someone will help you.

    at the right of convertor there is a big hosewho go in- with a nut how take off this hose with nut

    There almost has to be a swivel at one of the hose ends. It will look like two nuts next to each other. If you can post a photos when describing a problem it would give the HEF members a better understanding of any questions.

    Nice photo Pierrie, Did you get that hose off ? Hopefully someone will have the pages scanned and can send them to you. But what you want do is simply a matter of draining the oil and removing the usual hoses, shift linkages and the bolts that hold it in after you remove the drive-shaft. The manuals are priced resonable on Ebay. Have you considered buying one ?

  9. #9pierre dorais2014-08-08 22:01

    yes except i dont know what manual i must buy if you say what manual say to me

    You will need the serial number of your machine to be certain you get the correct manual. If the Ebay vendor doesn't show which machines his CD or manual is for, contact them. Provide your serial number in the contact and they will most likely tell you if what they are selling is the one you need. You may already know, but the online Case parts book is wealth of information and can really help you when taking on a project like you are. Here is a link to it. http://partstore.casece.com/us/parts-search.html#epc::model_find Type 580K in the search bar. You will see that they are listing two different 580K's. I cannot help you with which one you have. Perhaps someone here could tell if you post the serial number. If you would rather not post the serial number on the internet, go to any CNH (Case) dealer with your serial number and they can tell you. All CNH dealers have access to the information you need for parts and can tell you which book to use. That includes the CNH farm equipment dealers.
