1963 Case 530CK Backhoe/Loader

[stans1]

I'll never get tired of enjoying someone else's awesome restoration!

Ok Ernie, I'll post a couple more.

I'm not going to get tired of looking at that machine Stan, it's picture perfect.

Thanks Bill,

I thought I might post a segment with pictures and explanation of all the tools that I had to fabricate in order to restore my Case 530CK.
Also I had to do a fair amount of rebuild and improvements on my 12" backhoe bucket.
And finally, I took the time to snap a few pictures of the rebuild of my emergency brake, floor boards, and clutch linkage etc.

Let's see if I can get a picture or two here, since I'm new on this forum.

Does anybody know where I can get pages from a tractor manual covering the power steering pump removal & rebuild? I have the single cylinder power steering with steering shaft that goes from the steering wheel to the front of the tractor. My manual only covers the dual cylinder setup, & there's no comparison! My cylinder checked out just fine at a hydraulic shop, so I'm going for the pump & filter. Would sure love to see some pictures or directions.

Hi Bob,
Glad you posted some pictures of your machine! It looks nice, like you have already done a bunch of work on it.

Would you post a picture of the steering wheel and housing at the instrument panel and connections of your power steering device at the front axle? By your description of the pump and steering, I can't quite picture what you need. I've got a good picture of my pump and flow directions from my service manual, and if it will help you I would take a picture, blow it up and post it with instructions.

I will go get some pictures to post. Really, I have done very little to the tractor. When I bought it, it was in pretty good shape for being as old as it is. It looked solid, & though I knew I needed to do some work, it looked like it was worth working on...so here I am. I also liked what I read about its history, that it was a good work-horse, so I bought it. I'm looking forward to getting a lot of work out of it.

Stan (et all): Here are some pictures of the steering setup on my '62 Case 530 backhoe. - Here is the lower steering shaft U-joint: - This is the upper U-joint: - Hydraulic cylinder (single): - Cylinder connected to right side: - Power steering pump (near as I can figure): - Power steering filter (I need to find proper filter or replace unit): I'm looking for any pictures, illustrations, pages from shop manual, etc. My manual shows the dual cylinder setup, which has no relationship to mine. Thanks. Bob

Stan, I followed your project for awhile but lost track of it until now. After seeing all the great work, It would be hard for me to use it for anything but parades. Very nice.

Did you discuss why the loader arms have two cylinders per side? If so, I'll wade thru all 150 posts to find it.

Yeah Bob,

That's a great bunch of pictures that you took of your machine! After looking at your pictures that you posted of your steering system, I don't recognize any of the parts on your tractor. Check your serial number and check it against the known years for Case industrial equipment. You might try this link and see if you can find anything helpful: http://home.microtech.com/mikef/530CK/gas.php

Hope this helps, Stan.

Hi jmc,
I'm not sure from your question, two cylinders per side what you mean. On each side of a loader there is the arm lift cylinder and a bucket dump cylinder, that makes two cylinders per side. Or were you referring to the leveling cylinder that is located just above the lift cylinder on the right side of the 530CK loader? Stan

It must be the leveling cylinder you mentioned. I just assumed there was the same cylinder arrangement on each side.

Thanks.
