    CASE 480E "No Start" Air In The System

    Thanks for the information. Delmer No prior issues with the fuel system. I suspected the fuel filters where older than seven years and beginning to rust on the top side so I decide to replace the fuel filters. I have no idea how many hours on them. Unfortunately I got no maintenance records...

    Anyone have a suggestion on what I can use to clean out the black muck at the bottom of the hydraulic reservoir? I think the black muck is old algae. I got the drain plug removed but the top fill opening of the reservoir is only a ½” hole. Maybe some type of flexible Frankenstein long shaft...

    Frozen CASE 480E Hydraulic Resevior Drain Plug

    Cmark: Not sure the thread style, however the parts manual states the plug is "HEX HEAD NPT 3/4." Tinkerer: I will try hitting it several times with a 2 lb hammer, on the hex head. I will put a piece of junk metal in between so I don't damage the hex head. My upside hammer blows are not to...

    CASE 480E Rough Idle

    Success! The diesel engine runs smooth at idle, 750 rpm. I removed the diesel injectors and had them cleaned and serviced at York Diesel of Medina, Ohio. Also, I used a gun cleaning kit to clean out the injector ports. The cleaning rods are made of brass and the bore brushes are made of...

    CASE 480E Rough Idle

    The diesel engine on my CASE 4803 frontend loader runs incredible rough at idle (750 rpm). In fact the rough idle is so bad that the whole loader vibrates and consequently snapped an exhaust manifold bolt to the muffler. My quick fix is to raise the idle up to 900 rpm where the engine...
