Case 580L, 570LXT 1998 Parts Catalog

If you’ve ever ordered a part for a 580L or 570LXT and ended up with a box of wrong metal, you already know why a factory parts catalog matters. After 28 years in the shop, I’ve seen more mis-routed hydraulic lines and mismatched brake shoes than I care to count — all because someone relied on a third-party cross-reference instead of the original Case documentation. This is the real thing: Case 580L, 570LXT 1998 Parts Catalog, direct from the OEM. No reprints, no aftermarket guesswork.

632 pages. That’s what you get. Not a thin “quick reference” pamphlet, but the complete factory exploded-view documentation for every system on these machines. The Engine section alone (Section 2 of the pictorial index) covers cylinder block, cylinder head, alternator mounting, belts, and the full cooling system. Need a part number for the Brake master cylinder assembly or the differential brake in the rear axle? It’s laid out with reference numbers, part descriptions, and quantities — exactly as Case printed it in 1998.

Serial Number Location: The First Step Before Any Order

Page 1-2 of this catalog shows exactly where to find the product identification number (above the loader lift arm pivot), the engine serial number, transmission serial number, and rear axle serial number. Writing those down before you flip through the catalog will save you a return trip to the parts counter. The manual uses these serial number breaks to specify which part fits your exact build date — something aftermarket lists ignore.

Engine Section (Section 2) – Part Numbers for Cylinder Block and Belts

Section 2 is where you’ll find the engine exploded views. Fan belts, alternator and compressor belts, cylinder block components, and the cold start assist. Each part has a reference number that ties directly to the text page. No need to guess which belt tensioner fits a 570LXT versus a 580L — the index at the beginning of each section points you to the right page.

Brake Systems: Differential Brake, Parking Brake, and Master Cylinder

Brakes are not something you want to get wrong. The catalog covers the differential brake in the rear axle (Section 7 – BRAKES), the parking brake lever and rear axle parking brake, plus the brake master cylinder assembly with its hydraulic circuit and mounting. If you’re dealing with a pedal that goes to the floor or a parking brake that won’t hold, you need the factory part numbers, not a supersession from a generic supplier.

Case 580L, 570LXT 1998 Parts Catalog: What’s Inside

Alphabetical index at the front, pictorial section index showing all 10 sections (General, Engine, Fuel System, Electrical, Steering, Power Train, Brakes, Hydraulic, Chassis, Numerical Index), plus detailed hose-and-tube routes. The Numerical Index in Section 10 lists every part number in alpha/numeric order with page location and reference number — ideal when you have a part in hand and need to find where it goes.

One example: under “B” you’ll find “Brake – differential, rear axle” immediately followed by “Brake – parking, lever” and “Brake – parking, rear axle”. Each of those entries refers to the page where you’ll see the exploded illustration and the exact part number. No flipping through generic categories.

For background on why OEM documentation matters in the Automotive Industry Overview, that context applies directly to heavy equipment parts sourcing. The same reliability that keeps a car on the road keeps a backhoe in the field.

If you also run an older 580L or 590 Super L, consider the CASE 580L/590 Super L 1998 Operators Manual for daily operation details. For loader-specific tasks, the Case 570LXT Loader Landscaper Operators Manual covers bucket controls and ride control accumulator procedures. And if your machine falls into a later production run, the Case 570LXT & 580L Series 2 Parts Catalog 1999 may include updates. You can also read more about the Automotive Industry Overview for context on parts numbering standards.

4 Mistakes DIYers Make With Parts Catalogs – And How This One Fixes Them

1. Ignoring the serial number location guide – you waste time ordering parts that don’t fit.
2. Skipping the alphabetical index – you end up searching the entire catalog for a single bracket.
3. Using aftermarket cross-references that supersede part numbers incorrectly – this catalog gives you the original.
4. Forgetting to check the “NSS” notation (Not Serviced Separately) – you order a seal kit when only the whole assembly is available.

That last one is a classic. Page 1-4 explains that “NSS” in the part number column means the part is not available for service. This catalog saves you from that phone call to the supplier asking why your order was declined.

Does this catalog include part numbers for the engine and brake systems?

Yes. Both engine and brake sections have full part numbers and illustrations.

Is this a reprint of an aftermarket manual?

No. This is a direct scan of the original Case factory parts catalog published in 1998. All part numbers come from Case's own engineering data. Aftermarket catalogs often merge multiple models or use supersession data incorrectly. This copy preserves the exact OEM layout, including the original Bur 7-3341 publication number. If you need a part for a 580L or 570LXT, this is the source.

What serial number ranges are covered?

The catalog covers units first available January 1998. Specific serial number breaks are indicated in each section. You need to locate your machine's product identification number (PIN) above the loader lift arm pivot point.

Can I use this catalog to order brake master cylinder parts?

Yes. Go to the Brake section. The master cylinder assembly, hydraulic circuit, and mounting are shown with reference numbers matching the parts list.

When you’re ordering seals, hoses, or major assemblies, having the exact factory part number on hand means the difference between a bin full of inventory and a backhoe that’s back in the dirt. Access the Factory Manual from AutoRepairManuals and get the same documentation Cat and Deere techs rely on.
