    Case 75XT

    There must be a logical reason for the manufacturer to put a diode in circuit. So eventually you discovered the solenoid being defective. I'd replace the diode and see what happens. It must be there for protection of some sort. A diode only allows the flow of electrons in on direction. My...

    Probably quicker and cheaper to have a welder fab them up for you

    Case 1840 hydraulic filter light on with cold start.

    Well something else popped up to make my day interesting. Lately, if I park outside in the cold, the left parking pin would not retract. When I bought it, the first thing I did was completely redo the parking brake. The left side pin was seized in the released position with a broken cable...

    Case 1840 hydraulic filter light on with cold start.

    Should I have specified that I'm talking about engine oil and not hydraulic?

    Case 1840 hydraulic filter light on with cold start.

    I haven't really put any hours on this since I bought it a couple of years ago. The oil was changed by the seller just before I bought it. I think the book says 30 weight. I'm thinking about going synthetic. Any suggestions? It's a 4BT Cummins.

    Case 1840 hydraulic filter light on with cold start.

    OK, so we along with just about everyone else this side of the Mississippi had a nasty snow storm. Almost 2 feet. Traction quickly became a issue. I decided to try the screw trick. I used what I had. These were 1/4 inch drive 3/4 inch long screws (the non drill point ones). I only put a row...

    Case 1840 Skid steer

    Yes. The old Ford type. Have you confirmed operation by jumping?

    Case 1840 Skid steer

    The B+ terminal is the fat 12 volt+ wire from the battery. If you jump from that directly to the small S wire, the starter should turn

    Case 1840 Skid steer

    I went through all the effort of removing the starter through the rear. Not as easy with only room for one hand by yourself. I took the starter apart only to find out it was good as new inside. Bench tested it to be fine. Put it back in and a little click but no spinnie. Grabbed a little...

    Case 1840 hydraulic filter light on with cold start.

    If I'm going in a straight line it seems fine. As soon as I try to push and turn is where it really struggle. Not a problem now but when my new garage is finished, it's getting a epoxy floor. I won't be able to go over that with studs. I suppose strips of plywood if I needed to pull it in for...

    I'ts snowing here right now but not collecting.

    Case 1840 hydraulic filter light on with cold start.

    I agree that the drill point self tapping screws suck for anything but sheet metal, but the original "Jiffy Screws" non drill point work great for wood and assume rubber.

    Case 1840 hydraulic filter light on with cold start.

    looks like 1/4 inch drive self tapping/Jiffy/zip screws. If I do it, that's what I will use as I have a bunch of them. Odd that the screws in the center are showing so little wear.

    Case 1840 hydraulic filter light on with cold start.

    I've been thinking about studs but I have a brand new driveway and if I chew it up, I'll have to learn to sleep with one eye open

    Case 1840 Skid steer

    I had the exact same problem with my 1840. It was intermittent. I could hear the starter solenoid click but the starter would not spin. Apparently a common issue with 1840/1845. After doing a internet search, I decided to try the additional relay and it's worked perfectly since. The theory...
