Case 580B serial number decode

Morgan Flowers · Feb 27, 2012

Just bought a 580B backhoe/loader and was wondering if anyone could tell me what year it is or any other information from the serial numbers.
Loader # 5233481
Hoe #5236064
Tractor #8708918

Thanks to any and all that respond!

it is a 1972 model, I have nothing that deals with loader or backhoe serials just the tractor one is used for year idenification, if you can post a few pics I could tell you more about it, it could have a 188 dsl or a 201 gas power both are rated about 60hp, shuttle or mechanical shuttle shift various front and rear bucket options std or extendahoe was available for the backhoe also, this was also the first Case bachoes to have a factory Case built cab with ROPS, the 580CK which was built before the "B" series was the industry leader in backhoes( as was the 530CK before it) and the "B" improved on that lead with the addition of the over center backhoe which made for much better balance when doing loader work as well as roading it is the one every other brand copies to this day cnt

Thanks for the info! This is one that I posted about a few days ago that you may remember. It has a 188 diesel engine and has a number 2 rod bearing that has spun from the previous owner running it out of oil. I may have other problems in the upper part of the engine also, but I haven't checked yet. Also, the two ears on the front of the block that bolt to the front pedestal are broken off. The two lower ones are the ones that are broken. Looks like its been this way for awhile. They just put some big washers under the bolts to hold everything together. Was this a problem or what do you think may have caused this? If I have to get another block or whole engine what all types of machinery did these engines come in?
Thanks,
Morgan
