I have a few questions about my 580 B backhoe and hope some of you can help me out.

First on the hoe the serial # plate is unreadable. Might as well say non existant. Is there any way I can tell what model the hoe is, so I can get the proper manual/parts book for it?

Second the left swing cylinder is losing oil profusely. Is it possible to repack the cylinder with it still on the tractor. Also how difficult are these cylinders to rebuild. I've been told they are easy and I feel confident that I can do the job. However, honestly I've never gotten into a cylinder before and I don't wish to get into it blind. So how to advice is welcome

I mostly peruse the Oliver Forum, I'm certain with this backhoe I'll be visiting you Case folks more often now. Thanks for any help,
Danny Tabor

It is quite simple. extend the cylinder a little. drop the boom. take the end of the rod loose. unscrew the cap. If you do not have the rignt tool- use a pipe wrench carefully without scoring the cylinder casing. use the hydraulics to pop out the rod and cap. The seal in the cap is probably bad. you will see the bolt in the end of the rod. You will have no problem figuring it out. Use white lube on replacing. PS. Put a tray under the cylinder end to catch the hydraulic oil to keep it from messing up your environment.
