Case 580 Backhoe swing lock

[ddbackhoe]

Sideways, not that I know of. There is a transport lock to keep the boom and dipper upright when roading or using loader bucket. When”folded“ for transport I dont remember the hoe being wider than the rear tires.
If I remember right, the lock Is a pedal to the right of the right swing pedal. The lock can be engaged by manipulating the hoe and loader without slamming the hoe into the lock position. Get the hoe as close as possible into the boom lock using the stick and bucket, then lower/curl the loader bucket (raising front end) to finish locking in.

A little digging and on page 91, remove swing pin

Installing swing Lock pin for transport

Turns out there is a boom swing lock pin that I found inside the cab after removing the crap the previous owner had. Some good info in this thread though that I can use to understand things beyond just using a pin to mask the fundamental problem.

I’ve never run a Case but I’ve watched them run a lot. There was a lock, they would always bring it back quickly and there was a long handle that would lock it and also release it. I’m not sure it prevented swing or not.

That simply locks the boom in the upright position. The older 580s used a removable pin, maybe 1" diameter and 6" long with a ring handle on top.

No, I believe it's a swing lock. The boom is locked upright by a large locking latch that's controlled with released with a rudimentary foot pedal.

My new Holland 555E had a large pin to secure the swing during travel. I used it whenever I wasn't using the backhoe part...same with the extendahoe pin

DodgeMan described the boom lock.
