Hi everyone, I am new here. Does anyone have instructions on how to replace the front engine mounts on my backhoe loader Case 580 SK? How much do I have to pull apart to get the new engine mounts in? Thanks in advance - Simon

    Welcome to HEF @simonb I hope that is Tamworth NSW? You can do the job without removing anything but the two engine mounting bolts. You will need a long 1/2" dr wobble extention & a strong long reach extending magnet. With a little practice you can do the job in under an hour..... I give some basic instructions in this thread. (from back in 2009 on a 580K - same set up)
