Case 1980 Heavy Equipment Parts & Accessories for Backhoe Loader

Finding Essential Parts for Your Case 1980 Backhoe Loader

When it’s time to excavate, a dedicated backhoe loader is one of the best pieces of digging equipment. These are designed for professional landscaping and are frequently one of the most important parts of warm-weather grounds maintenance. This spring, keep your heavy equipment well-maintained by replacing aging components on your Case backhoe with OEM or aftermarket Case 1980 backhoe parts. These will make your vehicle perform like new and make your warm-weather jobs easier.

Case 1980 backhoes are designed to steer easily in use because they have a gear-driven, power-steering pump system. These systems are electronically assisted and make it so that you don't have to turn the wheel as much. These also prevent your vehicle from using as much fuel because modern power-steering pumps aren't attached to the engine via hydraulic lines. Still, over time, you may begin to notice problems. Here are a few signs to pay attention to:

• The vehicle is slower to respond during turns.
• Your vehicle starts to whine during turns.
• There are groaning noises coming from under the hood.
• The steering feels stiffer.
• There are gray metal flakes or other foreign material in the power steering fluid.

Hydraulics are important on a system like this since they provide very important lift capability throughout the equipment. A Case 1980 backhoe loader has multiple hydraulic systems because it needs power for a variety of spring jobs, such as moving trees or boulders or excavating. Many of the hydraulic parts for your case 1980 backhoe loader are easily replaceable or resealed hydraulically so that you can get back to work quickly when a part has failed.

Here are a few key hydraulic Case 1980 backhoe bucket accessories that you can find OEM and aftermarket replacements for:

• Stabilizer hydraulics – At the backhoe end of the vehicle, the stabilizers are used to provide traction and leverage when you’re excavating. These have a telescoping hydraulic component with two ports that manage the flow of hydraulic fluid. The fluid is injected into the cylinder so that it contracts, and at the other end, fluid is injected inside to cause the cylinder to expand. This action deploys and retracts the stabilizers when you don’t need them.
• Lift/tilt hydraulics – These hydraulics are positioned above the primary bucket on your backhoe loader. The hydraulics here are very important because they control this component's stability, which is often used to lift very heavy materials like boulders, soil, and trees. The hydraulics here use a single-acting displacement cylinder to push pressurized oil behind the rod to push the cylinder forward like a piston. Oil is drawn out of the rod to lift the bucket via retraction.
• Backhoe hydraulics – The most important of the heavy equipment parts for Case 1980 backhoes are the hydraulic digging arms themselves. These use incompressible hydraulic oils to control the movement of the excavating arm while performing spring landscaping. Since these have multiple Case 1980 linkage parts for articulation, it’s important to monitor these components to determine if there are any hydraulic oil leaks. If there are, you can either replace them or have them resealed.
