    freeloaders working the unemployment scam

    This really isn't your main focus of business. You should have more on your plate than to worry about someone who works for you and then leaves...just don't hire them again and move on with your life. The distraction is costing you money.

    Case 1845 wheel spacers

    I couldn't tell what ...i didn't clean up the hubs externally...frozen dirt there now :(... where is the zerk located? That being said, if it's on the side of the bearing housing, should be accesible. I'll see if i can clean up a bit and find this weekend. I just got a new grease gun...

We were happy paying 13 cdn for the fix...but looks like heavy dudty is definitely in order. Just not Case's idea of heavy...

    Case 1845 wheel spacers

    I had ~2.5" before, now 4.5" clearance. I didn't consider the axle grease zerks, but will take a look see this weekend for you. The spacers are strange looking... but they are super solid. CAMSO sold them to me..they make the SOLIDEAL tires and do OTT tracs as well etc. Will get back to you...

    My cable bust...so i need a new one for my 1845. right now i have cable for choke on lawn mower lol..it works, but is falling apart already... Looking at price for case one, i'm wondering if there is aftermarket instead. 180 US (250cdn) for a cable like this is not realistic. i saw company...

    Case 1845 wheel spacers

    Hi Steve, i remember you mentioning that. These chains are pretty heavy duty, and maybe my inexperience in mounting them not so helpful :) Mine are already in the 'out' position... i have ~2.25" to 2.5" clearance (depending on how clear my glasses are and how steady my tape measure hand was...

    Tire Chains or Snow Tires for Skid steer?? I'm stuck lol.

    I'm so new to this...but yeah..makes sense to just make your own links, i have spare links now lol (from cutting my chains to shorten a bit). They also gave two extra binders..which could be quite useful. Going in a bin for now :)

    Case 1845 wheel spacers

    Well..dropped one of my chains early on. After fixing some of the body panels to insure clearance, figure best to just bite the bullet on spacers to avoid any damage to expensive chains (ANY MORE DAMAGE lol). Picked up 2" wheel spacers (CAMSO) today to put on the rear end this weekend. Have...

    Tire Chains or Snow Tires for Skid steer?? I'm stuck lol.

    The chains are awesome. QCC makes teh chains model 1502-2 (2link). By way of my pictures i do need to fix one of the chains on a bit better, but i know what's wrong and shouldn't be too tough a fix to do. i'll simply take off what i have, jack it up, and fix it. You should be able to tell by the...

    Question, putting the rims turned around, is that something simple ie just flip them and put on opposite side or what not?

    Tire Chains or Snow Tires for Skid steer?? I'm stuck lol.

    I'm going to go with the rear chains for now and see how that works out. My tires aren't great, but not horrible. I think under load i'd like to reasurance of the chains. The ones i'm looking at are quite tough. believe they'll be the way to go. cheers, Hayes
