I recently bought an 1845c at auction based on video, pictures and it's reputation as being "bulletproof". The seller disclosed a hydraulic leak, but claimed unit was operating properly. (I did notice after the fact, that in the video demo the driver only made left turns). Well it turns out...
This is my first post so let me know if this is in the wrong place.
I just picked up a case 1840 with around 1400 hours. Everything seems to work how it should other than the right side moves significantly slower than the left in forwards only. In reverse everything seems to work how it should...
I just recently bought a 87 case 580k with the 4bt cummins non-turbo, and when it sits for more than 24 hours it has trouble starting. I believe it is getting air in the fuel system. I have changed the fuel level sensor(it didn't work before), so it has plenty of fuel and the fuel looks good, no...
I bought a used 2006 CX135SR. I am wanting to do a full service on it. I found service manuals but parts are another matter. All the part numbers for filters are listed on the excavator but finding places online that have the parts are difficult. At least for me. It isn't like looking up...
I have a 95 1845c with originally weak drive motors on one side. The guy I bought it from had a machine that had bad drive motors and he swapped the motors fixing his and now the machine I have is weak. Sold it because it had been in a fire and needed alot hoses and stuff etc. So with that in...
Hi everyone. New here. I have a mystery year late 80s early 90s 580se backhoe with hand swing controls. Every individual control works as it should very strong (boom, stick "dipper", curl) but as soon as I ask for a two controls at once they both slow to a snails pace or dont move at all...
Hey folks, I have a Case 580C with the 3 point and hydraulic pto, I need to know if hooking up a 3 pt wood chipper directly is ok or will it break a shear pin or pto with the hydraulic pto?? I don't have much space to put a slipper clutch in if needed, I'm checking if anyone runs a chipper...
My skidsteer is throwing the 4752 code (command plausibility check in manual)
Which I believe is the left joystick. It wont move and the red STOP light is flashing and beeping. I have checked and cleaned most of the wiring harness. I have pulled both swashplate sensors off and cleaned them...
Good afternoon to all,
I have an Case 1840 Skid Steer ID# JAF0221866* that has been giving me issues starting then staying running. The first time it happened the engine revved high, low, high, low, died and would not restart. Before this happened it had been running without any issues or...
I recently bought an old Skid steer to use on my acreage. It works well enough and the price was right. But I'd like to know what it is. I have scoured the internet and I "think" it is a Massey Ferguson? But I have no idea. And it's not exactly like the pictures I found online. Can anyone...
A while back I rebuilt my shuttle transmission and I think I have the linkage wrong somehow. Now somehow it wouldn't go into reverse. I played with it and if I rotated the solenoid the rest of the way it would lock over center in reverse. I shorten one rod and lengthen the other.
Looking...
We got a 1996 Case 9050B a few months ago, it’s been pretty good to us but The last time I got in it none of the controls would work. I put the arm rest down, put the lever down, and pressed the control unlock button and that usually makes everything work just fine but today the lock on the...
I want to add a thumb to my backhoe. Welding the thumb on is pretty easy for me. The problem I have is getting into the hyds. I looking for where I should tap into the hyds. What type of valve will I need. Where can I get one without having to break the bank. (this has to pass the wife...
I rebuilt the Shuttle Transmission and was expecting better out of 3rd and 4th gear. In 1st or 2nd it will climb a steep hill with a load but in 3rd or 4th it will it will barely get rolling...
Is that normal for 3rd and 4th?
I have to drive this about 7 miles (road mostly) and really don't...
Hello everyone, new to the forum and would like to thank everyone in advance for the help i have already received just reading through these threads. I have recently scored a 74 580b and everything seems to work great. I would like to keep it that way so i have a complete fluid change on slate...
Looking between CAT, Case, John Deere. Between 25,000-35,000LB machine
application: light dirt work (house pads, clearing work, etc) not sure if that is broad enough. But don’t want to limit the work.
I have looked at the different brands just looking at quality and getting good service from...
We just bought a 1996 case 9050b with an m11 Cummins, it was running great and out of nowhere it idled down and just died. We found out one of the batteries was junk so we replaced it and now it will crank but no fire. There’s no smoke when it’s cranking so we changed fuel filter and it fired up...
We have a Case 480F LL (has a 3 point and a hydraulic driven PTO instead of a backhoe), we have a small farm and use it for moving dirt, stacking hay bales and running the round baler.
After running the round baler (a Ford 552 that we have run with a 38HP Kubota, the Kubota was marginal on HP...
I'm looking to upgrade a case 310 with a larger fuel pump and a tune to get more power. As I understand you can put the 340s fuel pump on it and achieve the same power level. Has anyone done this or know of shops that do it or where to go?
