    Case 430 drive train clicking noise.

    I was using the 430 to grade a yard yesterday and noticed a loud clicking noise coming from the right hand side that varied with wheel speed. I only heard it when pushing hard and only in forward not when loaded in reverse. Any ideas before I tear into it? Chains on that side worn out? Or maybe...

    Case 430 tilt only working in one direction.

    Was trying out a new grader box. Everything was working fine. Just for fun I extended the boom all the way up and rolled the box all the way forward. Right as the tilt came to the end of it's travel I heard a loud POP and lost the ability to tilt back up. I set it back down and unhooked the box...

    OEM Radiators vs. Aftermarket?

    First time out today with a brush cutter I made for the Case 430. After about an hour and a half the engine temperature alarm came on. I idled it down and jumped out to find a small stream of coolant squirting right out of the middle of the radiator where an old patch job had come loose under...

    Need advice on a possible clearing job.

    I need some insight from the experts here. Local business owner contacted me about clearing approximately one acre of woods to expand his parking lot. Most trees are about 16-18" and under. A handful of them are larger. All he needs is to have it knocked down and pushed off to the back of the...

    Need advice. Case 430 hydraulic cylinder carnage.

    The boom lift cylinders on this Case 430 have been leaking pretty good for a while. I took apart the left-hand cylinder hoping to just reseal it but I found a complete mess. The rod is bent quite visibly. The rod, piston, and barrel are gouged along their lengths, the old seals are ripped up...

    Cummins 4B no start. Injection pump problems?

    I'm trying to get a Cummins 4B engine running to replace a bad one in a Case 1845C. Don't know what it came out of but the CPL number is 0591 and it has a Lucas CAV injection pump. I've tried and tried and I cannot get it to fire off. Here's the rundown so far, Bled everything, could not get...

    Case 430 stumbles and blows white smoke at high throttle.

    Just had a problem pop up I'm hoping someone can help with. Machine was running fine, digging out a stump, nosed down at a steep angle and heard a very slight miss. I backed out to level ground and played with it some. At this point once you move the throttle above halfway or so the engine...

    New Case 430 owner with a few questions.

    Recently bought a regular Case 430 and have been looking it over. This is the first skid steer I've owned and I'm excited to have it. I went to give it a bath and I couldn't believe how much crap had accumulated in the tub! Must've been 2-3" of swamp mud, gravel, concrete dust and oil. I...

    Volvo/Scat trak machines?

    I've come across a Volvo MC90B for sale and I'm intrigued. Apparently it's a 7000lb 83hp machine with pilot controls and high flow hydraulics. The seller is asking 12,500. Seems like a lot of machine for the money but whats the catch? I've been trying to research these machines but I haven't...

    40XT or 60XT?

    Shopping for a wheeled skid steer. Have my heart set on a Case XT series either 40 or 60. Mostly want to use it for property maintenance. Things like brush mowing/clean up, gravel driveway repair, light grading and general junk moving. Also hoping to do jobs on the side with it so whatever I get...
