NO! NO! NO! I have said this before. This is not a 580D backhoe and you need to get that out of your head. This is similar to the 580E with some differences. this cylinder is one of those differences. The cylinder you posted has a length of 47.5" and a stroke of 33.87" The correct...

“In December 2000, the EPA signed emission standards for model year 2007 and later heavy-duty highway engines, with a phase-in schedule over 2007-2010 [1044]. In addition to emission standards, the rule included ultra-low sulfur (15 ppm) diesel fuel regulations.” You mean Clinton era...

Sorry, I misread and thought you were advocating a 580C book. You are correct with the 35C. But I just printed out the military manuals and parts manuals via an online pdf print service.

I keep having to correct this. The FLU419 has an M35 backhoe on it which is similar to the 580E. No point in buying the 580C when the military parts books list the Case numbers.

These are relatively rare items. There are very few places with parts just sitting on the shelf. Expedition imports in California by far has the largest collection of parts. Other people tend to get pieces and surplus auctions and list them on eBay. After that you may have a person like myself...

Are you looking for parts too large to ship?

Oh dear! That’s sliding collar is the quick detach for the backhoe. If you slide it while you’re driving down the road, you’re liable to put 3000 pounds of backhoe through an F150s windshield. I highly recommend you read the operators manual before you get yourself into trouble...

Even at 70F, it takes me 5-10 seconds to get engine oil pressure on the Flu. Reminds me of a Deuce and a half. How soon do you get engine oil pressure?

I think Sgt Jiggins above is warning to follow good safety practices while testing the fans, not discussing normal operation.

Have you downloaded the electrical schematic yet? The black wire under the dash has caused this problem before. Examine the black wire for damage or corrosion. I’m 95% sure the black wire will be the problem.

The brakes do not require air to function, though they require air to function well. The brake lights should illuminate when pedal is pushed. Assuming you are familiar with proper operation of the military light switch, try the black-out lights to see if their brake lights work. or just pull...

Follow the link in post #5 above to the repair and service manuals. Time to get acquainted with their use.

Well, there’s your problem.

I’m still curious about the condition of the oil after the drive. If you pull a plug and get a quick sample , you can look for crunchy bits, but I think you may be ok. Does the speedometer show a speed when you put it in any of the gears, for example 4-II? The speedo pickup is on the...

Long time, no see! Just like me, you are running larger than stock tires. That definitely made it worse for me. However I have always thought it was the squeal of the pressure relief, not the belt slipping. I’d like to shim the pressure relief spring a little.

If the transmission was full of water, and stopped with a clunk clunk, I would not be looking at superficial fixes. That said, let’s do some basic diagnostics: Have you replaced the shifter bushings? What oil did you use after draining out the water?did you drain from all 2(or 3?) drain plugs...

You missed at least one cause. 6. Rust in the crossover air line contaminates the air system and plugs solenoids, filters, lines. This is a known issue and covered in the PS magazine articles.

A very common issue is shifter bushings, which will prevent it from actually getting into gear. These affect both shifter levers. Secondly, do some diagnostics and see if the PTO engages and sends power to the backhoe. If PTO doesn’t work, check that the clutch fork is moving under the cab when...

Oh, and don’t use 4wd on dry pavement, it binds and is much harder to steer. Will it kill it? Probably not. But you should avoid bad habits.
