I dont know what Hymac recommends but i think you can use 46 hydraulic oil, the 32 is most where its very cold longer periods ... Dont think you are going to dig so much when its -25C ?

Hi David

Looks like your making a great job of your restoration :cool:

Does the machine feel a lot better to operate since doing all the restoration work? Just a few cosmetic improvements left.
Here is a pic of a 580C that has recently been fully restored by a friend of mine over here, and believe me this machine has been fully stripped and rebuilt.

for now i will not go forwad with paint

i have som digging that i need it to do first
on the to do list on the macine before she go to work
1 finnish converting the leavers to standard with bom and bucket on right and dipper and turn on left hand
2 get new front and side windows (probably plexiglas)
3 mount the new driver seet from BE-GE
4 change the transmission oil again but neeade to drive it to make sure the motors aint leeking anymore.

Regarding the operation i hawent driven it yet du to the low oil level after the oil change.
probably will make a test drive on friday

nice macine buy the way that is what i need to se to keep up my motivation

Yes David I think its wise to do the digging before your paint job, incidently the standard control set up on a 580C is; the left hand lever, pull back to raise the boom and push forward to lower it, push it left to open the bucket and right to curl the bucket.
The left pedal to bring the dipper arm in and the right one to take it out, the right lever is forward to slew left and pull back to slew right with the auxilliary on the left and right.
My friend who has rebuilt the 580C is selling this machine, he has two more to rebuild and he did his apprenticeship with Hymac as a company. He has spared no expense in his rebuild, I have added a few more pics for all to see.

Thanks for the pictures jeremy very nice to see a macine in that shape it shold be at museum :grin:

my macine will probably never be that nice but with som paint it migt look better than now but i consentrat on the mecanical first

i hawe a smal concern regarding my trac motors when i "drive" it forward i hawe a scoring sound that come and go ? i had the motors down for inspection and new seels befor my injury but havent realy driven it before.
i know that the previos owner has made some repair in the swirvel can it has somthing to do with that.... or wher to start maybe it s somthing to do with the T conection to the brakes?

anyway her is 2 picturs from todays first test digg outside my barn

Can you hear the noise if you raise the track off the ground and run it, or is the noise only under load?
I will ask my friend what he thinks when I get the chance.
