The backhoe can be fixed , it will be one of the most useful tools around your place . Everything from civil engineering to mechanical engineering and more . Good find there Jonathan . Can build yourself a massive workshop and storage with it , no problem at all . Had all my tickets in GB for most heavy plant operation . Used and repaired these for over twenty years in all . Save a lot of backache and heartache with one of these to hand for sure . . Old heavy plant should be found and put back to work , same as the old classics . Keep up the excellent work and content . . See you all in the next one . Top man .
Anxious to see what transpires on this one. Don't know a thing about the mechanics of these things but do know they are incredibly "handy" with the knowledgable operator !!! Should prove to be a valuable asset.
Get you a scoop of good soil in the bucket to bring home... to supplement the garden ! What a great piece of equipment to have available to you. Congrats Jonathan.
Hey Jonathan good to hear that old Case running. I recently acquired a case 580C, My brother bought it new,He passed away about 8 years ago,it hasn't been used since. I haven't tried to start it yet but your video gives me hope. Thanks for this and all your videos.
I have a old 480C. The power steering has it's own reservoir on mine on the pump. Pour some fluid in the pump reservoir, you may get your steering back.
Man, that thing fired up like it was parked yesterday. I guess maybe being a diesel helps a lot. With a bit of hose replacing and things that's going to be a sweet machine to have around for you. 👍
This looks like it'll be fun. I don't know what it is about these older pieces of heavy equipment, but I would hang out at construction sites (before folks got real safety conscious and put up security fences) and watch them work. So diagnosis and repair will be very interesting to me. This was a good start to Saturday morning.
It did look like you were slowing down, so the obvious need was for another project vehicle to work on. Gonna be a very useful tool for someone. Thanks for sharing.
We had a Case very similar to this one we used for digging out around the gravel & sand plant, conveyors, etc...it had a lock lever (don't need a chain) to lock the hoe from leaking down...it would fire up just like this one...sounds good
I worked for a utility contracting Co. for several yrs and saw many of them go into and get back out of areas that said couldn't be done..1/2 the job is a operator who know what they're doing... I was to chicken to try that ..i knew my capabilities...ya want a trench dug.. I can do that..ya want to go mud bogging ..nope not me.
The front bucket and ass end can be your best friend you can pull yourself or push. Watched my dad side load one onto a lowboy once with the front bucket boom and stabalizers
Any time a vehicle will fire up and aid with its own recovery is a win in my book. Thanks for sharing a little behind-the-scene recovery action. I really enjoyed seeing masters at work. I can't wait to see it fixed.
👍👌👏 Nice machine. Congrats! I absolutely always wonder why people don't at least try to air up the tires. One of the rear ones was nearly flat and driving/loading the backhoe without filling up the tire will definitely destroy it even more! Those tires are extremely expensive.
Heard of the area where the hydraulic pickup tube being full of junk and sludge and the being the issue. A freind gave us a case backhoe with same issues.
580 b a million years ago a friend was going to go 8n hock to by a backhoe . Well I had worked on equipment in another county and they had them parked along the road up there with signs 4sale $1500 . So we took a day ran up there found a, 580 b in good shape low hours $4000. But it was old then I think they were from the mid 70s
I wonder if the power steering pump is out of oil? My 580B had not moved in years. And when I started it it did not want to steer until I got some oil in it. I also wonder this must be a power shuttle. It could be the release valve is stuck open. I know when I press what we would call the clutch pedal it stays down just enough that I don`t have shuttle pressure. This will be a good backhoe when the fix a few things. Thank you for the video,
At least it wasn't hanging off a bridge or some other bad situation. Looks like walmart will have a run on hydraulic fluids and see if that old girl has one more giddy up go in her. I really like case but they all break down. I never really liked the way you had to jerk real quick on the boom leaver to make it come to you while you held the release to get the boom moving again... a nightmare till you figure it out then it seems simple
Needs trans fluid. Needs full fluid and filter replacement. Probably trans pressure adjusted. I had a B series for 20 years and I ran it many days out of the week professionally I miss that machine.
If the rear bucket work good and he could have used down pressure on the bucket and the swing to take that rear end right out of there and also use the rear bucket a lot of that whole lot easier
You have the most fun videos on RUclips. Thanks for the fun. 🤠

It runs great, the hydraulics seem to work good and quick too! I got 10 days in not smoking, i just want to say thanks for the inspiration!
Congrats .. it's not easy but will be here for your support...keep us posted 👍👍👍
I like that school bus...been wanting another one for a long time. You always have the best videos.
"Not figured out just what he's gonna do yet, I just know he's dangerous." 😂
We all know a guy like that somewhere. 🤣👍
"Not a problem"
And the guy who says: "Ya'll watch this - I'll show you how it's done!"
YIKES-A-DODDLES!
I been around people like that guy all my life, but older I get I back far away, at least I'll live longer.

Nice find. Looking forward to you sharing repair work!
Looking forward to another episode of Jonathan W's Case files.
Another project!, Here come the keyboard nannies! I do enjoy the variety.
Well that was fun!
Kept me hangin!
Very cool video and content thanks for posting!!!😎👍🏼❤️

Sketchy fun! "I told you I'll pick it up you don't have to remind me every 4 years!" Gotta love buddies.
Classic "Hod my beer" expedition.
I have a old 480C. The power steering has it's own reservoir on mine on the pump. Pour some fluid in the pump reservoir, you may get your steering back.
Nice find, love the videos no matter what your doing
I have a 1972 580B love it hope to see more videos on this one.
I sure liked the ending video of Jonathan driving off into the sunset.
You got it that was a tuff one. Looking forward to seeing you get her back home. Thanks for sharing Jonathan 👍
Not back home ..... backhoe'm 😂😂
Well, at least the attachments work. The driver is having way too much fun!
Handy machine !
She fired right up! Steering... who needs that? You'll be stacking wrecks with this thing! A very useful machine!
I can see it now, a truck cab on a Case frame! You need to get Nanna,s approval on that idea 💡.
The old girl is going to need some love 😉
Man, that thing fired up like it was parked yesterday. I guess maybe being a diesel helps a lot. With a bit of hose replacing and things that's going to be a sweet machine to have around for you. 👍
You know your in a great group of guys when one or have handguns someplace.
God video Jonathan keep them coming.
been doing the same with a 680 e good luck
Thanks for the video! Tons of potential in that backhoe. There's a good market for those..running and operating if course...you got this Jonathan!

Nice find Jonathan! 🙂👍 I've got a 680 Case myself. Incredibly handy piece of machinery
Hi Jonathan. Nice backhoe. Get it Fixed up. Mabye just trans fluid, and power steering fluid. Probably both leak. Nice score.
Looking forward to watching you work on this one, and learn more about hydraulics
It's 90% there, Jon, just a few things to fix and it'll be a useful addition to the fleet.
I want it.😀Them 188s was easy on fuel. Thanks for sharing Johnathan 👍

A backhoe is probably the only thing that can dig itself out of a hole!
My grandpa always said it’s a poor backhoe operator who can’t get himself unstuck.
I worked for a utility contracting Co. for several yrs and saw many of them go into and get back out of areas that said couldn't be done..1/2 the job is a operator who know what they're doing... I was to chicken to try that ..i knew my capabilities...ya want a trench dug.. I can do that..ya want to go mud bogging ..nope not me.
Well that was fun,, lookin forward to seeing what’s wrong with this beast, nice score Jonathan
The front bucket and ass end can be your best friend you can pull yourself or push. Watched my dad side load one onto a lowboy once with the front bucket boom and stabalizers
That looked fun. Can't wait to see more.
Looking forward to seeing the repairs.
Can't wait to see what the issues are and how you take care of it.
Those b models always ended up with transmission issues. Good news is there easy to rebuild
Looking forward to seeing you work on this one.
Enjoy watching, take on a lot of head scratching to figure out what this old case needs. Good luck keep videos coming.
Any time a vehicle will fire up and aid with its own recovery is a win in my book. Thanks for sharing a little behind-the-scene recovery action. I really enjoyed seeing masters at work. I can't wait to see it fixed.
J.W, the doctor of internal combustion engines! Hello to Na-Nuh! Peace!
Not Mork from Ork, Robin Williams, na nuh, na nuh! But Nan-uh..
More FUN! More ADVENTURES!🤗🤗🤗🤗
Looking forward to seeing you get her operating and have no doubt you will :-)
I definitely want to see these videos love watching you fixing this stuff
Awesome 😎
👍👌👏 Nice machine. Congrats! I absolutely always wonder why people don't at least try to air up the tires. One of the rear ones was nearly flat and driving/loading the backhoe without filling up the tire will definitely destroy it even more! Those tires are extremely expensive.
Awesome fun!
LoL the adventures you get into
keep the great work man
COOL i love a good tractor video i have been waiting ages for another.
Some days it’s best to sit back and watch the show....
I like that guy.
Jonathan, You needed to get up there and back that out! hahahaha
a was waiting if that tree its going to jump backwards but everything did going good. nice video.
This little booger come in handy to have around...👍
Now this is entertainment.
Independent rear brakes can steer machine with front bucket down tires up when transmission works.
I'm gonna be watching close on yours.. I just got a 580b the other day. gotta reseal a couple cylinders and get the brakes working again.
For a how that won't steer mike sure was working that wheel🤔
I bet you can fix it Jonathan ! ENJOYED
I'll take that bet ... and raise you with a cat scan 😂😂👍
How did that old feller drivin get to that age without killin himself.
I was thinking the same thing, if you can get it home without getting hurt, next time take helmets and any other safety equipment you have. WTH
He killed everybody around him 🤣👍👍🇺🇸
He actually isn't that old, he is only 35. He just looks that ancient because he is always doing something crazy.
Great project
Heard of the area where the hydraulic pickup tube being full of junk and sludge and the being the issue. A freind gave us a case backhoe with same issues.
A backhoe video coming soon,looking forward to it.
Lot of issues.....but a substantial piece of equipment to move a mountain or two
Wow, I'm used to seeing him start with about 3 lbs of yard art steel and build a car from it. I can only imagine what he will do with 7 tons worth!
LoL.. watch out NHRA or Nascar 😂
New toys!
Who needs steering when you have a hydraulic bucket. You were right to get out of the way there.
Nice get!
Oh the adventures......
That will come in handy

Just walking the cat, need advise from Ninja.

“ this is a case backhoe - the boom came off of an old John Deere the motor is from a Massey Ferguson “ 😂
Morfidyte ?
Boys will be boys 😂
Good luck
Good morning
I have a jd 400 with same problems but I love it almost fixed
It's got issues but that is alright we can fix those.
Check to see if there's a separate reservoir for the power steering mabe its just low on fluid. I can see a sbc hanging from the bucket already!
Mad skillz - as the kids of today probably would say.
Unless it has a screen attached to the steering wheel and a PS3 or 4
today's kids wouldn't go near heavy equipment.
Good to see Mike, better there than N.Y. I bet ,lol .
Somewhere there is an OSHA person having a nervous breakdown. 🤣🤣
Cool,now you can put your phone line in the ground?
That's some crazy chit!
Run damn good for 8 years
No Steering? No Problem!!!

You should check the power steering tank . It should be separate from the hyd
