Case 580N, 580SN, 580SN WT, 590SN 2012 Parts Catalog

You’ve got a machine down. Customer is waiting. The aftermarket parts site says “fits all models” – and you end up with a seal package that doesn’t seat. I’ve been wrenching for 28 years and I can tell you: a parts catalog from the OEM is the only thing that keeps you from ordering three times. This Case 580N, 580SN, 580SN WT, 590SN 2012 Parts Catalog is the factory-issued print, 1289 pages long, covering every nut, bracket, and o-ring for these Tier III backhoe loaders. No condensed reprint. No third-party guesswork. Just the original document that CNH put together for dealers and shops.

Engine Section: 10 Pages of Part Number Data

Section 10 in this catalog is Engine, spread across two page groupings. That’s where you’ll find the cylinder block, pistons, gaskets, fuel system components, and all the hardware that makes the Tier III compliant powerplant run. The catalog uses exploded-view illustrations with reference numbers tied directly to the parts list. You don’t guess – you match the number. If you’re ordering a head gasket for a 580SN, you get the exact CNH part number, supersession history, and the quantity required. No more “this looks close enough” returns.

Transmission: Finding the Right Gear and Shaft

Section 21 covers the Transmission. Power shuttle, synchro-shuttle, clutch packs, planetary gears – it’s all laid out in the same factory format. Need the input shaft seal? Flip to the transmission section, find the illustration, copy the part number. The catalog also indicates year/serial number breaks, so you don’t order a pre-2012 part for a later machine. I’ve seen guys buy a whole clutch assembly when all they needed was a snap ring because they used an aftermarket diagram. This stops that.

Hydraulic Systems: Five Pages of Cylinder Breakdowns

Section 35 runs five page groups. That’s where the loader and backhoe cylinder guts live. The OCR sample shows one example – a hydraulic cylinder with a 4-3/4 inch stroke, part number 396137A2, and a full breakdown of the rod, gland, seals, and breather. The parts list even tells you the grease nipple thread size (1/4 tpr x 17/32). When you’re rebuilding a boom cylinder, having that spec in front of you means you order the correct fitting the first time. No wasted trips to the supply house.

Why a Factory Parts Catalog Beats Aftermarket Print

I don’t care how good the third-party site looks – they copy illustrations from old scans and drop critical hardware. This catalog comes from CNH America LLC, Racine, WI. The “How to Use Your Parts Catalog” page explains that common hardware (bolts, washers) might not appear in the illustration but is listed in the description column. Aftermarket versions skip that note. Then you’re left thinking the bolt is included with the assembly. It’s not. You end up short. The factory catalog tells you exactly what is and isn’t included in the service part. For a shop billing by the hour, that’s money.

Audience Fit: Who Needs This 1289-Page Document

If you own a Case 580N, 580SN, 580SN WT, or 590SN – backhoe loader operators, equipment dealers, independent shops – this catalog belongs on your bench. It covers everything from the front loader and bucket (Section 82) to the cab climate control (Section 50), electrical systems (Section 55), steering (Section 41), and even accessories (Section 88). It’s 1289 pages because Case didn’t cut corners. You want to order a hydraulic pump for a 590SN? The parts list is here with the CNH number and the supersession chain back to 843001691. Need front axle seals for a 580SN WT? Section 25 will show you the exploded view and the correct shim stack.

One thing that trips up new techs: the alphabetical index at the front. Use it. The catalog has a full alphabetical index right after the table of contents. “Brakes” – Section 33. “Hitches” – Section 37. “Wheels” – Section 44. It saves scrolling through 1,200 pages.

For a broader look at how OEM documentation fits into the Automotive Industry Overview, the standards for parts identification are a world apart from generic manuals. Another angle: Automotive Industry Overview confirms that factory data drives reliability.

Can I use this catalog to replace the engine in a 580N?

Yes. Section 10 lists all engine components. You’ll get the part numbers for the short block, oil pan, and cylinder head. The exploded views show the correct orientation of seals and gaskets. Match your serial number to the YR/SN column in the parts list to ensure the right revision. Order the parts, then use your service manual for torque specs and procedure.

Does this include torque specs or repair instructions?

No. This is a parts catalog – it identifies components and their OEM numbers. For repair steps and torque values, you need the factory service manual.

Stop chasing part numbers from forum posts and third-party sites. Get the document that CNH engineers signed off on. Access the Factory Manual from AutoRepairManuals and keep your Case backhoe loader running with the right parts, the first time.
