I have a 1992 Case 1845C that is getting to be one miserable possessed machine when it comes to starting it. In the last 2 years I have installed a rebuilt starter, then a new starter. I have also installed all new cables and wiring connected to the starting system, along with a new ignition switch, and the largest battery I could get. Sometimes after working on it such as installing a new starting system part, it will start like a champ a couple of times, then revert back to it's old click, click, click habit when you turn the key. Other times it will not make any difference.
I have heard of a place that sells basically new battery cables and a what appears to be an older style Ford solenoid for about $80.00 or $90.00. I really do not want to pay that much for something that a person could buy at an auto parts store for probably $35.00 tops.
I guess this is a known problem for the Case 1800 series skid loaders, and what the problem boils down to is too much resistance in the wiring circuit (which I would think all new cables and wires would cure).
Can anyone tell me what size of cables and wires , and a part number for an older 3 post Ford solenoid that I would need to fix this thing. I would also appreciate step by step instructions on how to add this solenoid to the starting system, and details explaining what wires or cables I would need to splice into (basically what gets connected to what). I have already spent too much money on starters I did not need, and really do not want to spend $90.00 just to find out how to install the modification kit. Any information would be greatly appreciated......................thanks.
