[AT] 580 B backhoe

[Richard Fink Sr]

Danny i have a 580B and yes that cyl. can be rebuilt on the machine. 
There will be one or two screws in the side of the head [part that 
screwsout] then it takes a spanner wrench with two pins in it or big 
set channel locks. swing hoe to the side your are NOT going to work 
on pull out pin. Unscrew head hold swing pedal toward side you are 
going to take apart. Then turn over with starter and it will push 
right out. I get my packing from case and some local rebuild places 
price is not much difference between them. Should take about 1 hour 
if nothing is rested fast. Have fun
