1969 Case 580CK Backhoe

Hi guys....

have read over this forum and others for ideas, but want to get more input. recently acquired this backhoe and in general it ran/runs pretty well. however, it leaked everywhere. replaced about 6 hydraulic hoses and replaced the fluid and now that seems under control

Hello All -

I managed to run my KX41 dry yesterday...... It cut out and then wouldnt restart after being refilled....

I cleaned out the fuel filter (I'll fit a new one imminently) and after much effort got the system primed and the engine restarted. everything is working great (it feels more powerful) with the exception of the main boom. It now will lift incredibly slowly with no...

Long story short I no longer work with the family business.

Working as a mechanic now. Apparently they weren't joking when they asked if I was afraid of heights, and if I wanted to work on tower cranes. Told them I've never touched a tower crane but I was a quick learner. So here we are now.

Couple little self erectors. Yes it was cold.

The third picture was a large crane boom way off in the distance.

Terex TS24D?

I find service and parts literature on Ebay. Says they had Detroit 60 series. I didn't know a Detroit 60 had enough ponies for the tractor end.
Were these ever built? What kind of numbers? Did they use the old air shift technology, or did they upgrade to the electronic/CAN bus like the TS14G's?
(I can't say the CAN bus/wiring on the G's was an upgrade. Blessed with a Bell 4206 of the same vintage with the same problematic/reliability wiring issues as the TS14G)
