Case 580D, 580 Super D 1986 Parts Catalog

You’re ordering parts for a 580D or 580 Super D. You pull up some third-party site, grab a part number from a forum, and cross your fingers. I’ve seen that end with a hydraulic line that didn’t fit and a machine down for two days. This is the real deal – the OEM Case 580D, 580 Super D 1986 Parts Catalog, issued February 1986 by Case Corporation. 678 pages of factory-verified part numbers, exploded assembly drawings, and revision records. No reprints, no photocopies, no aftermarket shortcuts. This is the same binder that dealership parts counters used.

What This 678-Page Parts Catalog Actually Contains

Open the PDF and you get the full table of contents from the original print. The General Information section explains how the catalog is organized – Alphabetical Index up front, Numerical Index in the rear. Page 4 covers ordering instructions: you need the correct part number, full description, quantity, machine and engine model, serial numbers, method of shipment, and shipping address. The catalog includes abbreviations like PIN (Product Identification Number), SN (Serial Number), NSS (Not Sold Separately), and REF (Reference). Aftermarket parts lists skip this stuff – then you wonder why your order gets rejected.

Each major group is broken down into assemblies with exploded views. For example, the loader backhoe section includes the boom, dipper, bucket, and all hydraulic components. Every item has a reference number, part number, description, and quantity required (REQ’D). Indented items show sub-assemblies – like a hydraulic filter that contains a head, element kit, and housing. Machinery items (e.g., entire pumps) are ordered from the Machinery Price List, not the parts catalog. The catalog tells you that on page 4 under “Description, Quantity and Machinery Items.”

OEM vs Aftermarket: Why the Factory Print Matters

An aftermarket parts guide might list a generic seal kit for a 580D. But the OEM catalog specifies the exact part number from Case, with revision history. Page 3 shows the Revision Record Log – you can see when pages were updated. If you use an aftermarket number and it’s superseded, you get the wrong part. The factory manual includes a note to discard parts catalog A1380 and use B1380. That kind of change management doesn’t exist in third-party documents. Stick with the original.

Ordering Parts: Follow the Factory Procedure

Page 4 spells it out: specify correct part number, full description, quantity required, machine and engine model, machine and engine serial numbers, method of shipment, and shipping address. If you miss the serial number, Case won’t know if your machine is an early 580D or a late Super D with different hydraulics. The catalog uses right-hand and left-hand as viewed by the operator in the normal operating position. Get that wrong and you order a left-hand boom pivot for the right side.

Indexes and Abbreviations: Don’t Skip These

The Alphabetical Index at the front lets you find major groups fast – Engine, Transmission, Hydraulics, etc. The Numerical Index at the back cross-references every part number to its page. Abbreviations like REF (Reference) and RESERVED (no item listed) save you from chasing ghosts. UAR means “Use as required” – you don’t order that part unless your machine needs it. An aftermarket catalog won’t tell you that; they’ll list every bolt as a separate line item.

Right-Hand and Left-Hand Sides: Get It Right

Terms RH and LH are defined from the operator’s seat facing forward. If you’re standing in front of the machine, your right is the machine’s left. The catalog uses US units with metric equivalents for dimensions, but hardware sizes are given according to type – inches for US bolts, millimeters for metric. Pay attention to that when ordering replacement fasteners. A metric bolt swapped for a SAE one can strip threads or cause a hydraulic leak.

Who Needs This Catalog?

If you own a 580D or 580 Super D loader backhoe from the 1980s, you need this Parts Catalog. Maybe you’re restoring one, or you run a small fleet and need to keep parts on hand. The catalog covers every serial number break and revision. It also includes ordering information for French, German, Italian, and Swedish speaking countries – useful if your machine was exported. DIYers can use the exploded views to identify which seal to replace without buying a whole assembly. Professionals will appreciate the speed: look up a part number, call your dealer, and get the part the next day instead of waiting for a return.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this parts catalog tell me the torque specs for the head bolts?

No. This is a parts catalog, not a service manual. It lists part numbers and quantities only. For torque specs you need the service repair manual.

Does it cover both the 580D and 580 Super D?

Yes. The title page says “580D & 580 Super D Construction King Loader Backhoe” and the catalog number B1380. It supersedes the earlier A1380 catalog for the 580D. All Super D variations are included with separate part numbers where different.

How do I find a part number for the hydraulic pump on my 580 Super D?

Use the Alphabetical Index under “Hydraulic Pump” or go to the Numerical Index if you already have an old part number. The exploded view will show the pump assembly with item numbers. Match your machine serial number range (listed at the start of each group) to get the correct revision. If you still can’t find it, the catalog lists machinery items that must be ordered from the Machinery Price List – the pump might be one of those.

Is this a PDF of the original paper manual or a scanned copy?

Access the Factory Manual and you get a high-quality PDF of the original printed catalog, including the binder spine art and the revision record log. It’s the same content as the paper edition, no missing pages.
