I just worked over the power shuttle on my county's Case 580E and have it working and ready to go except for the fluid level. There is a sticker on the frame about how it needs to be at operating temp before checking but says nothing about whether or not the engine should be running. I poured in nearly 2 gallons and it is still at the bottom of the hatch marks... Is it like auto transmissions that have to be checked running?
It should be checked with the engine idling. Just don't run over yourself in the process. raise the rear wheels off the ground for safety.
Thanks! I just don't see where it puts nearly 2 gallons of oil...
Did you drain the converter? Put one gal. in it and start it then recheck add as necessary to full. Make sure brake is set and/or raise the rear wheels slightly as mentioned. Cycle the lever through Fwd/Rev. a couple times and recheck. Don't over fill. Tom
i check with them running
As it had quit pulling in forward, I think it had drained itself... I started it without the shuttle unit to move it outside while awaiting parts and no oil came out. I run tested it this morning and have adjusted it back down to probably 1.75 gallons and it is right where it should be. Thanks for the info everyone.
