New to this Backhoe it had been sitting for a few years. The Brakes aren't working, they should be dry but were full of gear oil when I took of brake cover, I was able to remove brakes out and loosen the actual housing but I cannot remove the housing because it hits the frame and won't come off the shaft. Do I have to drop the Transaxle to remove them and replace the oil seal? Or can I change the seal with it on the machine. Also, where can I buy a good service manual, I'm sure I'll need it.
You can replace the seal with the housing bolted back on the machine. It helps if you have the tool that covers the splines. I have used shin stock wrapped around the splines in a pinch. I would look on Ebay for a service manual.
Thats good to know Thank you. I'll get a service manual before I continue.
Send me your email address in a private conversation and I will let you download it from my Google Drive. Totally free of course.
Tinkerer, is that for the newer E, as I bought a manual off of Amazon and it’s for the early E and doesn’t have parts or breakdown on the newer 3 bolt spindles. I would love to see a parts and breakdown of the machine. Tanks.
I prolly have the same one you have. Publication #8-41701. There is no mention of the machine serial # in it. I think the SE's were produced from 1984 until about 2005. that would indicate that there is a lot of different service manuals for them--I would guess. Perhaps a Case dealer or someone else could help you find the correct manual you need. I have a parts book that was revised and printed in 1985. Which spindle are you referring to ? 2 wheel drive ?
Sorry, that was a brain fart. I meant kingpin, I have the newer 3 bolt kingpin on a 4 wheel drive. My outer u-joint is bad and I would love to have a parts breakdown before taking apart as I have no ideas on part numbers, if I need the hub seals and anything else.
A phone call to someone at Broken Tractor may be worth a try for information. They offer quite a few parts for Case Backhoe Front Axles (3-Bolt Style). I think a long time ago there was a thread about repairing one like you have and alarman had the answers.
Yep, I figured when I get ready to do it, I will have to take the whole thing apart and see what I need and at least then I will have the stuff in hand, to be able to compare measurements and such.
Does anyone have manuals for 580 SE backhoe? I am needing to repair the brake system on mine
