    Case 1840 leaks oil from flywheel housing

    .....no need to take the pump apart...... I followed your instructions and the job wasn't difficult, just as you said. I was so happy that I forgot to respond to your message so please accept my thanks now, I still remember the relief when the oil stopped leaking around the shaft. Thank you!

    Lifting arms on Case 1840

    Has anyone been able to raise the 1840 arms using a standard (not high flow) hydraulic pump and standard starter while cranking the engine? I really appreciate everything this skid steer can do but when the engine doesn't start or it dies someplace in the middle of work it turns into an...

    Lucas CAV IP in 1994 Case 1840

    ....To me, after reading this, It sounds like a fuel starvation issue or possibly a fuel shut-off issue..... Yes, it must be fuel flow problem. Either the shut off solenoid has intermittent problem (but it is clicking clearly and "firmly") and if it weren't for the difficult access I would...

    Lucas CAV IP in 1994 Case 1840

    The engine will not start without one or two short bursts of ether into the air filter housing. But with those really short bursts it will fire right up and within less than one second any smoke immediatelly clears up and there is no smoke from the exhaust at all at any rpm between idle to max...

    Lucas CAV IP in 1994 Case 1840

    ...Didn’t u say it fired up after u added fuel.??... After the "diminishing" smoke while cranking but still no start I felt encouraged because there was fuel flowing out from the injectors. Had here an unopened bottle of Lucas injector cleaner and in order to make it reaching the injectors ASAP...

    Lucas CAV IP in 1994 Case 1840

    Still puzzled how this engine repeatedly dies while running in cold weather. Could it possibly be caused by the little piston inside the sleeve in the IP fuel inlet assemly? If it gets stuck or doesn't move fast enough the engine could stop due to fuel starvation? All fuel lines and the fuel...

    Lucas CAV IP in 1994 Case 1840

    .....Before cranking the engine, close the bleeder by the name plate.. That smoke is promising.. Do u have the RETURN LINE hooked back up.?? If not, it’ll be sucking air into the inlet.. I just noticed your reponse Pumpguy. Thank you, it was all done and OK. She's now...

    Lucas CAV IP in 1994 Case 1840

    It is almost 1am here now and the engine is running. The tank was half full, the fuel was dyed, pinkish color. One of mine 5 gallons diesel containers was full of regular diesel. I emptied the fuel filter, in a clean glass jar mixed about a quart of undyed fuel with about 1 oz of Lucas Cetane...

    Lucas CAV IP in 1994 Case 1840

    Smoke but not start. In every step the air filter(s) is removed and throttle is secured in wide open position 1) heated up the air filter housing with heat gun. Engine cranks OK, smokes but no start 2) though the empty air filter housing sprayed WD40 all the way back in the rubber intake hose...

    Lucas CAV IP in 1994 Case 1840

    I have the air filters out, maybe I could use a heat gun to warm up the filter case and let the engine suck warmer air while cranking. It's not really too cold, just around freezing but the steel wrenches and the steer chassis suck all heat from ones fingers. Maybe there is a sequence which one...

    Lucas CAV IP in 1994 Case 1840

    .....is that not 2 bleed screws in 3rd last picture ?..... OMG, I can't believe it! all the time I've been looking for the bottom one on the IP body. Never crossed my mind that I am working with the bottom one all the time while the top one sits much higher on the pump cover!!! Thank you...

    Lucas CAV IP in 1994 Case 1840

    Thank you Pumpguy, reporting back: I have made sure the fuel filer is full of fuel (it was to max), opened the bleeder on IP (the only one on the pump, no other bleeder located using an inspection mirror_ and loosened up the steel lines at the injectors. Using the 1-1000 count till 7-1000 count...

    Lucas CAV IP in 1994 Case 1840

    Thank you Pumpguy, appreciate your help. I reconnected back the front line, removed the inlet line, topped off the cavity. energized the solenoid and hit the start button. The IP sucked in the fuel from the cavity like a thirsty camel while the fuel from the lift pump was gushing out from the...

    Lucas CAV IP in 1994 Case 1840

    Hi Pumpguy, responding to: Was the solenoid activated when you did the test.?? Yes, it was, I run other separate wire from the battery to the solenoid. The INLET is at the other end.!! I understand that and was wondering about: Test.. remove the fuel inlet line that goes in the back of the...

    Lucas CAV IP in 1994 Case 1840

    Hi Pumpguy, reporting back on the IP test. 1) I have made a parallel push button starter switch so I can be looking on the IP while cranking the engine and holding the cell phone and recording. 2) before test, all bleeders and nuts were tightened 3) loosened up and moved over the inlet...

    Lucas CAV IP in 1994 Case 1840

    Thank you pumpguy for your response, will try that later on and report back, it is now 4:40 am here. The instructions for priming the IP read to have the ignition key on and the two bleed valves on the IP open. That would imply the bleeds are after the shut off solenoid. I can only see and reach...

    Lucas CAV IP in 1994 Case 1840

    Thank you pumpguy for the exact order of assembly. The piston is now moving freely. Reassembled and connected everything back, primed but no start, no smoke from the exhaust. The lift pump supply is good, single push on the lever and fuel comes rushing out from the bleed screw on the IP. But...
