the old 580B Question

I have a question on the 580b case, The enine is a 188 and has the im thinking power shuttle, well the starter has a little bolt on the housing between the starter sylinoid, and starter motor, this bolt keeps leaking fluid around it, is this an adjustment bolt? can it be removed and an o-ring put on it to keep it from leaking? I guess a pic would help also ill try to get one


Thanks Mike

Belarus 825 - needs a new clutch - any idea of rough cost to repair?

Looks like my 1996 Belarus 825 (81hp, 4wd, D-243 diesel, purchased used in 2011) can't take any more abuse from me, and is holding out for a new clutch; we pulled what looks like clutch material out it. It won't move backward at all, and will go forward a bit (if wind is blowing right) ...

Might anyone have a ballpark cost number for a tractor shop to split a tractor and get a new clutch plate in it? If I attempt it, it'll squash me like a bug ...

Buying John Deere 450J

I'm looking at buying a 450J for logging and wondering what to look for when I'm assessing the machine. It's a 2006 with 2900 hours, and has the extended life undercarriage. What kinds of issues are common for this machine? Is there a way to test the hydrostatic drive motors? Any thoughts or pointers would be helpful.

New Mini Buyer Seeking Opinions.

Hi all...1st post as new member. Closing in the purchase of a new mini. I've settled on a 4 ton class machine, and narrowed my choice to the Bobcat E42 or the Kubota KX040-4. Interested in opinions, good or bad on those choices. And for that matter, if I'm overlooking other models or brands I should be considering. In my area, Bobcat, Kubota, Cat, and Deere all have good dealers.

Should preface with stating that I'm a private user, not a for-hire business. I've got a large (several...

With bucket malfunction this "lever" is moved forward...

Case 1835C Uniloader Won't Start After Fuel Filter Change

Hello and Thanks for Any Advice: When I parked the loader, it would run and then cut off, then you could crank it back and it would run for a few mins. and cut off. I found out that the oil pressure was low making it do that so I filled it will oil. The air filter had gotten dirty and sucked a good bit of oil out of the engine and that's why the oil pressure dropped. That was corrected when I changed the air filters and filled it with oil. The oil pressure light does go out now when I...
