Thanks machinist! That is ssomewhat how I pictured it working. This should be just what I need to make my life a little easier

does anyone one of a good online source for case parts? I havent found one yet that carries wheel studs and lug nuts for my 1838. The only one that I have found is Coleman equipment, but what the stock for my machine is very limited. Any help on this will be greatly appreciated.

I have a case 1838 with mclaren protracs. I purchased the machine with them, but they did not come with the tool to put them on. I have done it a few times with my ATV winch and a snatch block to pull them in to place, but it doesnt get them as tight as I would like. My question is, does anybody...

thanks for the quick reply frogfarmer. That is what I have been doing, I just wasnt checking it for water after draining...I will have to try that.

I have an 1838, and also a dumb question. On the fuel filter it has a valve to release the water from the fuel. first of all, where does the water come from? and second, do I leave the valve open until nothing comes out? I dont want to have to bleed my fuel system again (that wasnt any fun), or...

I have been searching for a block heater for my case 1838, with no luck. It has a kubota v2203 diesel in it. Anybody know where to find one?

IT is more apparent when it leaks up, just because of the forces involved, but it will bleed out slowly going down. Also if I slightly move my loader arm control wither way, it will want to move opposite, but just for a second. Would that be ram, or spool valve? I dont believe i have a float on...

I have a case 1838 skidsteer, the problem I am having is when I am backblading with my loader arms down, the loader rams will not hold and start to pull out. The hydraulics are strong otherwise. If I take the weight off of the bucket, the rams will return to the fully down position. Any help...

I have a 98 1838 and on the hydraulic tank there is a sight glass, how far up the sight glass should It be reading? Mine shows a little over half on the sight glass. Also I have found a service manual for a good price, but it was published in 94, and doesnt give a specific model year, Will it...

I dont know if this will help, but I found one on ebay. This is a steal for a factory service manual. I called my local case dealer looking for one for my 1838, and they wanted $287. Here is the link...

Thanks for the response! That is makes me feel better knowing it IS just an adjustment. Has anyone out there made this adjustment? Do i have to flip up the cab to get to the linkage? Also, how DO you flip the cab up? Also has anybody built a root grapple for a skid steer? I am a skilled...

I am new to skid steers, actually I just purchased my first one yesterday! I bought a 1998 case 1838 on my local craigslist for $6000. It is in very good shape. The only problem is that when you stop the machine it wants to creep left, but if you bump the controls slightly it will hold still, I...
