    Case 1835 Will Start strong but not stay running - Ideas?

    @justridingby - I thought of that too and it seems that the flow in the return lines is pretty good. How did you locate the object that was floating around? I have removed all the lines and can't seem to find an object that is for sure the culprit yet. Thanks Z2898. That will be my next...

    Case 1835 Will Start strong but not stay running - Ideas?

    @74inchshovel - Yes this is the 188 diesel. you are the 2nd person to tell me that it could be the gaskets or O-rings in the fittings that cause this issue. It looks like I have to take the pump off and into the shop. However, when we run the pump with the key in the "on" position fuel seems...

    Case 1835 Will Start strong but not stay running - Ideas?

    I have a Case 1835 Skid Steer. I start the skid and it starts well but within 3-7 seconds it will die. I have checked and cleared all fuel lines, checked the fittings that go into the fuel pump and changed the fuel filters. There is also pressure in all junctions between the tank and the...

    Questions RE: 3 point implements and 3 Point Hitch Adapters on Skid Steer

    thanks for the input guys. I will probably buy the adapter as the arena drag we have is a heavy duty model meant for a larger tractor and I dont think my skid will damage it....although those are famous last words.

    Questions RE: 3 point implements and 3 Point Hitch Adapters on Skid Steer

    Thanks for the response. That is what I was afraid of. I hate to keep two tractors just to use a few 3 point implements but it seems inevitable at this point. I dont use the 3 point implements that much but it does not seem as if the 3 point adapter will even make the attachments useful in...

    Questions RE: 3 point implements and 3 Point Hitch Adapters on Skid Steer

    I have a Case 1835 Skid steer and I would like to get a 3 point hitch adapter for it so that I can use some of the implements that I have such as the box blade and the areana drag. However, it appears that the adapters require the skid operator to drive backwards which I guess will work OK in...

    Just bought a Case 1835 Skid Steer and had a couple questions...

    As the title says I just bought a 1981 Case 1835 with the 188 diesel motor. It is a low hour machine that was bought as part of a lot of equipment and just sat there in a yard until I bought it. It starts runs, etc. but I wanted to baseline the maintenance on it and needed a bit of guidance...

    Skid Steer for home use/land maintenance

    Thanks for all of the input guys. I am headed to the auction this week to check out a few skids. The auction near me is really hit or miss on value. I will let you know how it progresses. I really like the idea of being close to the bucket as well. I cant see 90% of the bucket on my Case...

    Skid Steer for home use/land maintenance

    thanks toomacho. What were you say are the drawbacks versus your kubota? Purchasing a skid steer will require me to make an additional investment even if I can sell my case so I want to make sure I am not making a switch I will regret. I wwould agree that the operation of the skid steers I...

    Skid Steer for home use/land maintenance

    toomacho - thanks for the reply. have you cleared any land down to the dirt? Was it easier or about the same as with the kubota? Do you find it a more useful unit overall than the kubota you had? On that gravel driveway, you find that back dragging is the best way to manicure it? My...

    ????? RE: 1992 Int'l 4600

    I looked at an 1992 International 4600 today with about 135k on a 7.3. It has the 5 speed with the 2 speed rear. Are these engines reliable in the long run? I am pretty sure this is the NA version. Does anyone have torque rating for this application? Is it feasible to get more power for this...

    Questions regarding starting a dump truck business?

    I have a friend who is considering starting a dump truck business but he doesn’t have much of an idea of what it would take to start one or the elements of the business. Accordingly, I told him I would post here for a few opinions/info. He drove semi trucks for a bit so he has a CDL and is...
