480E Case backhoe.

VicS · Apr 10, 2016

My backhoe looses speed bad on grades. The engine doesn't lose any rpm. So it has to be the torque converter or the forward, reverse clutches. How do I tell which is slipping. I have ask the same question on the Case forum. Thanks Vic.

If you can spin the wheels when pushing in low gear your clutches are OK. All the backhoes I have run that didn't have a working torque lockup have been pathetic on hills.

had a 555 ford that acted like that, thought it was worn out engine, turned out it was the torque converter, ford had a variable pitch torque and the fins were stuck....might check into that with case

This one would spin in second. And never slow down on hills in 4th. Same engine as a 580m.
