I now own a Case 580C
Stopping a 14k pound machine
One of the locations I need to use the backhoe is at the bottom of a hill with a large ditch at the bottom so I wanted brakes, well I need brakes. Pulled the seat, the floor, and got started. Four bolts each side and a lot of cleaning Sorry the only photo I took was of the diff lock inside. I did pull the brakes apart. New master cylinders. Free the shaft the the pedals ride on. It was rusted in place. The pads.... wow those are heavy. I pulled it all apart and cleaned. O had a broken spring on one side that I brazed back together. I also replaced the band pads but not the flats. I wish I would have done both. I have brakes but not great. |
