( ) 580k years of production Jump to page: Now viewing page 1 [50 messages per page]:: ->Message format Bob Cen Mi Posted 4/4/2006 17:34 (#2630) Subject: 580k years of production I am wondering what the years of production of case 580k backhoes was. I also am wondering what the difference is between the k and super k. Also did they make any with a turbo?

I have only seen a few on line and did not know if it was factory or not? I am looking at a 96 but have not seen any others with that year. If anyone could give me a serial no. Break for the years I would really appreciate it.

Also where are the problem areas on the k series and/or years to avoid. Looking for 4x4 for sure the rest is optional, but would prefer a cab for snow removal!

And clam shell bucket. Also cab with heat but no air. Like the cab, as you said for winter time, and you can open it up enough to stay comfortable in summer.

I looked a long time to find an older one with the clam shell or 4 in 1 bucket. It is great for farm use, picking up post, trees, fence, etc. I would really not want one with out it and having it, it saves alot of labor in clean up jobs.

Ten year-old memory is a little fuzzy, but I believe the L series came out in 1995, the K models were built from about 1987 to about 1994.

There were basically two versions of the K's, then the Super K was the last version built. The early K's have yellow fenders on all models and lug bolts that screw into the axle flange, they have the older style transaxle that is synchronized in 3 and 4 only. Tough tranny in my opinion. Another way to tell, the loader control comes out of the front console beside the steering wheel and the 4 speed lever comes up from the floor to your right. The later K's had the Maxxum rear-end, with a fully synchronized 4 speed.

The shifter was on the console to the right. These had brown fenders on the cab models and lug nuts. Consuming Grief Beth Conklin Pdf Converter.

The Super K was similar to the later K's, I cannot recall the differences between them, but it was relatively minor. There was a Super K turbo, it should say turbo right on the side of the machine. I have never seen a turbocharged K, doesn't mean they don't exist, Case's literature listed an altitude compensating turbo as an option. Can't recall any recurring problem areas on those Case hoes. Case/Cummins engine, gear pump/open center hydraulics, not a whole lot to go wrong. No more than usual anyways. Sorry, I do not have a serial number break.

Nw pa any one know where to buy some replacement fenders for a later model with brown fenders.Years of loading salt have kinda ruined the ones that came with it. Also what kind of job would that be??? Looks like a lot of work to replace them. Thanks Bob Cen Mi Posted 4/5/2006 17:43 (#2874 - in reply to #2667) Subject: thanks dustin Just the type of knowledge I was looking for. I had my doubts that the machine was a 96 but thought I would look a little closer. Also where is the sn tag located? Does any one know about new fenders as the other poster noted?

Most I have seen are rotted out at the bottom of the glass on r, l, and rear. Are they bolted in or welded to the window frame? Thanks again Bob. Posted 4/5/2006 19:45 (#2892 - in reply to #2874) Subject: RE: 580K Serial Number Tag Inwood, WV Serial Number Tag.
