Backhoe I arrived here by accident, kind of like Starman, riding a Case 580C with leaky Case

backhoe control sticks. Anybody fix theirs? Do you just take the sticks out the top and install a new seal underneath and reinstall the stick? I have no one local to ask as they are yokels like me.

Sorry to post about something bigger than compact, but I got here with relatives riding a Bobcat, Ford 1310, and a "compact" Cat D2.

If it matters as a signature in addition to the above, I also have a Michigan 275 and a Lull.

I can't help with your specific problem, but with that said.........Welcome to TBN.

And don't be sorry for posting any questions on here, the 580C has had several threads on here over the years covering all sorts of problems. You can use the search function here on TBN to do the search on that model.

There have been threads on here covering most equipment out there. And by all means, list your other machines as well, you may need answers, and the answers you have may help others on here.

Welcome to TBN, at the top of the page you will see a black strip, it will say partially, dealers, store, then a white box with Google Search. That is a much better way to search this site. You might also check on the heavy equipment forum.

I have never owned one, but I changed hundreds of tires on them back in the day, 522,622,824,844,1044s I used to do alot of tire work for rental companies, and they were big on Lulls. No beat juice back then, all calcium chloride or antifreeze.

I always liked them, sturdy machines.:thumbsup:
