Trying to see if the transmission still fits and drives after a complete strip down, clean out and rebuild. Plus a few words from the local cockatoo community.
I really admire your work with the case 580sk transmission and all your videos are very, very pleasant to see. Greetings from Mexico. I have a similar transmission here and it is very gratifying to put it together. Thank you for your videos.
Hi Mr Tarenja, good on you for having a go!! Glad I could be of some help. I would recommend getting a manual for it, though. Good luck with it, and please keep me informed of your progress! I'd love to hear about it!! :-)
Thanks Geoffrey! Yep, I'm 'tickled pink' about how smooth and well she runs! Almost as good as an old Cat 60!! Ha ha!! And thank you for mentioning my name on your channel! It was very descent of you! :-)
Thanks Andy, Yeah I didn't want to run it for too long without coolant. I need to replace the engine mounts before I refit the rad', though. Thanks for your comment!
Injection pump def needs 12v power to run. But you probably already figured that out lol. Good Job! So glad the transaxle seems to be working well. Cant believe the previous owner put used motor oil in the hydraulic tank. Thats got to be one of the dumbest things Ive heard done in a while.
Hi Tyler, you're right. There's usually a little rubber plunger inside the fuel shut-off solenoid. I haven't got it apart yet, but I suspect they had some electrical issues and just removed the plunger and threw it over their shoulder. If I don't have a spare one here, the local fuel shop should be able to supply one for me..........when I get to that part! I'm finding a few "farmer fix's" on this machine that'll have to be rectified in time. Thanks for posting your comment!! :-)
Hi Tom! Yes, the torque converter is a relatively weak point on these machines. It's not so common that they're a "machine to avoid", but they do fail if not looked after properly. i.e. serviced regularly, and driven with care.
@@pete-mate3524 Thanks Pete. Pete any chance of an email address please? I have a couple of questions and it'd be easier if I sent an image with one of them. Tony

Also that quip about the budget cuts not allowing the hauler to have a front axle got a good chuckle out of me.

I guess I missed it, was it the torque converter and charge pump the cause of it not working and all the metal floating in it? Good job Sir!

Hey Pete, don’t complain about the stubby cooler, I gave you one&you spent 0 on me.
Thanks Yeti!! From now on, I'm getting all my stubby coolers from you!! (much better value!! Ha ha!)
done subscribe tq vidio
Thank you!! :-)
How was lunch Pete?
Ha ha ha!! Lunch was awesome, thanks Bob!!!
I might have missed it but did you buy a s/h torque converter?
Yep, I couldn't find a new one anywhere, so I had to go for a second hand TC and charge pump.

Please I need the transmission to buy
Have you tried any wrecking yards? I think there are a few in Australia. Good luck!
@@pete-mate3524 please can you help me to get one
@@pete-mate3524please can you help me to get one to buy
what type of oil did you use in the transmision?
Hi Mr Retros, I used "Mobilfluid 428". This is what the book recommends. Hope this helps.
@@pete-mate3524 Thanks!!!!😃😃
