Rebuild #2 Has Started Case 1845c

Larpy · Apr 5, 2020

Thanks for all the input! Here are the before pics and the color scheme most of you picked. The sand blasting started yesterday along with disassembly. 800 lbs of sand and counting! More pics to come!

Sandblasted, sanded and epoxy primed the cab this weekend. I painted it gloss black but forgot that picture. The prep takes some time but it is worth the outcome. The main body will hopefully be in paint this weekend! It is coming along!

I thought #2 was picked but #4 without the colored wheels looks better I think. Do you do these for resale and make any profit? It doesn't look that bad to begin with.

I do them for fun. I enjoy tearing them apart and getting them looking fresh. I am not sure what I am going to do with this one.

Think it would fit in a large FlatRate box? You could ship it to me!

More painting today. I did mostly panels and controls today as well as the main base. Starting to come together!

With the both lights on.

I also changed the color scheme! Got a GREAT deal on some quality Nason paint so it motivated me.

@Larpy;
How do you hump heavy metal pieces into your booth? That rear door weighs a bunch. BTW nice work.

I think this is going to be another one that is look better than the ones Case put in the trade shows when they were new!

Just need to get the rims chrome plated!

I carried them in by hand. My back hurts! I do have a forklift my buddies shop for the real heavy stuff. Makes it easier. I used it to place the last one I re-did into the booth.

I hope. The PR guy from Case International wanted to interview me for an article after the last one. I never got back to him. I just have fun doing it and learning.

Think ROYALTIES from designing their paint scheme and graphics.

I like that idea lol!

You'll have to share.

There's been some terrible graphics put on some machines.

Job must have been early in your family tree!
Very impressive from someone who can’t.

Looking great. Following your progress. I am going to look at an 1845c tomorrow and would like to do the same thing to it and my father in laws 843.

Larpy · Apr 21, 2020

Today was spent sand blasting and assembling the control platform. I have learned to do this in steps where I still have the ability to move the unit under its own power. That requires some thought but makes it easier for blasting, paint booth time, etc.

It is a fun project. Take lots of pictures along the way and I mean lots from every angle! You will be happy you did on reassembly. I have hundreds of photos from this rebuild and my last. I do this without a time line so there is no stress although I do still throw a wrench or two every day in frustration lol!
