Introduction
When J I Case introduces a new 580 loader/backhoe, it creates a stir in the
industry. People watch the market leader to see what it does. The new Case
580K is sure to generate interest among dealers and customers alike.
Newly designed from the ground up, the 580K features a totally new main
frame, loader, backhoe and operator's compartment. Outstanding elements
from the popular 580 Super E were retained, so the new K embodies the best
of the old and the best of the new.

Market
The 580K competes in the 14-foot (3.56 m) backhoe and 50 to 70 horsepower
(37.3 to 52.2 kW) market. Major competitors are the Caterpillar 416 and 426,
Deere 310C and 410C, Ford 555B and 655A, JCB 1400B and 1550B,
Massey 50H and 50HX, and CDS 714C and 715C.
These competitors will be left in the dust by the Case 580K. The K was designed
for the future and is years ahead of its competition in performance, serviceability,
reliability and operator comfort.
Go after the following markets for the 580K:
Building contractors Road contractors
Excavating contractors Industrial plants
Utilities Municipalities
Rental centers Commercial Businesses

Note: Photos in this publication illustrate 580K pre-production units. Some

details may be changed slightly on actual manufactured models.

Applications
You find uses for the 580K
loader/backhoe anywhere there's
work to be done. Put it to work
digging trenches and basements,
craning heavy pipe and manholes,
loading trucks and hoppers, breaking
up concrete and asphalt, and snow
removal and material handling.

Why Go from an E to a K.
The new 580 is designated 580K because Case has used the letters F, G, and
H on its internationally produced 580 loader/backhoes. (The 580F and 580G
are made in France, the 580H in Brazil.)
The letters I and J are not used in the construction industry because of a
precedent set many years ago to avoid these letters in model designations.
Thus, the new Case 580 becomes a K.

Purpose of this Brochure

The purpose of this brochure is to highlight the changes and advancements
from the 580 Super E to the 580K. You'll note that the 580K features more
than 146 improvements in performance, reliability, serviceability and
operator comfort.

Main Frame
Box Section Unitized Main Frame
The 580K features a total box-section,
unitized main frame compared to the
channel-section, unitized main frame
used on the 580SE. The new 580K
design provides:
• Increased strength.
• Use of the chassis main structure
as the fuel tank and hydraulic
reservoir.

Two Main Frames

The 580K features both an integral backhoe and detachable backhoe main
frame. This design offers your customer a choice in main-frame design for
the following benefits:
• The detachable backhoe chassis provides added versatility. Your customers
can install rear-mounted equipment, such as a mod hitch with a box scraper
or grader blade.
• The integral backhoe chassis is ideal for customers who don't need extra
versatility. It offers greater backhoe-to-chassis integrity at a lower price.

Built-in Fuel Tank
The 580K fuel tank is built into the left
loader upright and main structure of
the chassis, while the 580SE had a
remote-mounted fuel tank. The built-
in fuel tank provides more room
between the loader frame uprights for
improved tractor-component
positioning.
Integral Hydraulic Reservoir
The 580K hydraulic reservoir is built
into the right loader upright and main
structure of the chassis. The 580SE's
hydraulic reservoir was built only into
the right loader upright. The 580K
design gives a 68 percent increase in
hydraulic reservoir capacity, from
12.5 gallons (47.3 L) to 21 gallons (79.5 L).
Common Chassis for Two-
and Four-Wheel Drive
The 580K features a common main
frame for both two- and four-wheel-
drive units. In contrast, the 580SE
used two different main frames.

Engine

Fuel-Fill Port
A hinged panel between the loader
uprights, along with the tilting hood,
gives a wide-open access to the
580K fuel-fill port, making it easy
to fill, even with a five-gallon (19.3 L)
can. This is a handy feature for
fueling on the job.

The 580SE fuel- port was recessed

Double Front-Engine Mount into the hood.
For improved reliability and vibration absorption, the 580K features a double
front-engine mount.
Larger Radiator Core
The 580K radiator core has been
increased four percent, from
2
372 square inches (58 cm ) to
2
385.5 square inches (60 cm ), for
improved engine cooling.

Tilting Engine Hood

The 580K's tilting engine hood is easily opened by releasing a latch from either
side and lifting the hood up and forward. Gas cylinders make this an easy task.
The tilting hood gives wide-open access to the top and sides of the 580K
engine, for easy engine maintenance and repair. With no side panels to remove,
your customer will spend more time on the job and less on service and repair.

Under-Hood Engine Muffler

Rubber Front Hood Bumper
A rubber front hood bumper on the
580K acts as a low-impact shock
absorber when running into sides
of trucks or hoppers during loader
applications.
Sound and Heat Curtain
A removable curtain is positioned
behind the engine and between the
loader uprights to isolate noise and
heat away from the operator's
compartment. The curtain is easy to
remove to allow servicing
components behind it.
Because the 580K has a tilting
engine hood, the muffler is located
under the hood. This, in addition to
the air intake being in line with the
exhaust stack, provides minimal
visibility obstruction.

Air-Cleaner Service
The 580K air-cleaner canister is
positioned so the air-cleaner
elements may be serviced with the
loader arms either raised or lowered
Optional Precleaner
For improved filtration in extremely
dusty conditions, a precleaner is now
available as a factory or field option.

Electrical Area

System Protection
The electrical system for the starter and main electrical circuits is protected by
three 30-amp blade-type fuses located in the 580K's engine compartment.
Smaller amp blade-type fuses are used for individual circuits. The fuse box for
the individual circuits is located on the front bottom side of the instrument panel
and is easily accessible from the operator's compartment.

following benefits:
• Improved protection against dirt
and moisture.
• More reliability.
• More convenient to use.

Axle Area

Top Trunnion-Mounted Steering Axle

The steering axles on the 580K are top trunnion-mounted, compared to the
580SE's center trunnion-mounting. The top-mounted design provides:
• Increased front tire clearance between the loader frame when the axle
is fully oscillated and the tires turned.
• A common main frame for both two- and four-wheel-drive units.

Improved Steering Design

The 580K steering system consists of
one large center-mounted, double-
acting, double-rod cylinder and two
short tie rods with large ball joints.

Steering-System Hydraulic Supply

The 580K steering-system oil is supplied by the 26-gallon-per-minute (98 L/min)
section of the engine-driven, tandem, gear-type pump. This section also
supplies oil to the loader and backhoe circuits.
The 580SE steering-system oil is supplied by the 7-gallon-per-minute (26 L/min)
section of an engine-driven, tandem, gear-type pump. This section also
supplies oil to the backhoe circuit.
The 580K steering system is load-sensing, supply-on-demand, requiring a
maximum of 3.5 gallons per minute (13 L/min) when turning the wheels from
stop to stop. Oil not being used by the steering system is made available to
the loader or backhoe circuits. Benefits of this system include:
• More steering control at low engine rpm because more gallons of oil are
available to the steering system at low engine idle.
• When the steering system is not in use, more gallons of oil are available for
the loader or backhoe circuits for improved performance.

Increased Wheelbase
The wheelbase has been increased 2 inches (51 mm) from 82 inches (2.08 m)
to 84 inches (2.13 m). This gives improved stability and weight distribution.
The longer wheelbase increases the clearance turning circle without brakes
from 24 feet, 1 inch (7.34 m) to 25 feet, 1 inch (7.65 m).

Increased Front Wheel Tread Increased Front Axle Vertical

Front wheel tread has been
increased 5.5 inches (140 mm), from
62 inches (1.58 m) to 67.5 inches
(1.72 m) for improved stability.
Wheel Travel
Vertical wheel travel has increased
14 percent, from 11 inches (279 mm)
to 12.5 inches (318 mm), for improved
stability over rough terrain. At the
same time, front axle oscillation
has decreased from 22 degrees
to 20 degrees.
Clearance for Rear Tire Chains
The 580K features enough clearance
between the fender wells and rear
tires to allow installation of tire chains
without adding wheel spacers. This is
both convenient and economical for

the customer.

See-Through Brake Reservoir

The 580K features a see-through brake reservoir that can be visually checked
for fluid level every time the machine is fueled. The fluid level is also monitored
by a warning light inside the operator's compartment.

Hydraulic System Area

Improved Hydraulic System Flow
The 580K hydraulic-system oil is
supplied by 7-gallon-per-minute
(26 L/min) and 26-gallon-per-minute
(98 L/min) engine-driven tandem-
gear pump sections.
The smaller pump supplies oil
directly to the backhoe boom,
stabilizer, dipper and bucket circuits.
The larger pump supplies
oil to steering, loader and
backhoe circuits.
With this split hydraulic circuit, the
swing and other major backhoe
functions can be operated
simultaneously for improved cycle
times and performance without
having to feather the controls.

Increased Loader-Pump Capacity

Capacity of the 580K loader pump has increased from 23 gallons per minute
(87 L/min) to 26 gallons per minute (98 L/min) at 2200 rpm, a 13-percent increase.

Increased Backhoe-Pump Capacity

The combined pump flow at the backhoe has increased 10 percent, from
30 gallons per minute (114 L/min) to 33 gallons per minute (125 L/min)
at 2200 rpm.

Relocated Stabilizer Levers Optional Tilt Backhoe Backhoe Control-Lever

Both stabilizer levers are now located
on the left side of the backhoe control
console. The operator can lower or
raise both stabilizers with one hand
while using the other to perform other
functions. This reduces the time
required to reposition the unit.
Control Console
An optional tilting backhoe control
console is available so the operator
can adjust the controls fore or aft to
suit his individual level. This option is
a Case exclusive. Benefits include:
• Improved comfort.
• Improved backhoe control.
• Improved productivity.
Conversion
The time to change from Case three-
lever controls with foot swings to dual-
lever controls has been reduced from
8 hours to 2 hours, a 400-percent
improvement.

Note: Only available for the Case

three-lever controls with foot swings.

Sealed Pins and Bushings Improved Pivot-Point Pin Retention

Like the loader, the backhoe pivot-
point lubrication interval has
improved 500 percent, from every
10 hours to every 50 hours, due to
sealed pins and bushings in most of
the pivot points. Benefits include:
Most of the 580K backhoe pivot points are attached on one side by a keeper pin
inserted into a pivot pin, retained by a bushing, and on the other side by a bolt
and flat washer. Benefits are:
• Improved retention.
• Easier to take off and put on for service.

• Less service time.

• Reduced operating cost.
• Longer pin and bushing life.

Newly Designed Over-Center Lock

The 580K backhoe continues with the
over-center design and is held in the
over-center position by a large heavy-
duty, cast-ductile-iron lock. The
operator releases the lock from the
seat with a foot pedal. If unit is
equipped with optional tilting
backhoe control console, then the
backhoe is released from the over-
center position with a hand lever.

Over-Center Snubber
in Boom Cylinder
A snubber in the boom cylinder and a
rubber bumper cushion the shock
loads when the backhoe is returned
to the over-center position. The
snubber slows the backhoe when it
comes over center, preventing ajar
or bounce.

equipped with 24-inch (610 mm) backhoe buckets.
Performance tests show that the new Case 580K is almost 20 percent better
than the 580SE, measured in cubic yards per gallon doing five-foot (1.5 m)
trenching. The improvement shoots up to almost 24 percent doing 10-foot
(3.0 m) trenching. Though the 580K was faster than the 580SE in performing
basement excavation into piles, it used more fuel, thus making cubic yards
per gallon almost equal.
