Case 1816 Mid-seventies!

I know this is an older thread but if it helps! I replaced the Tecumseh motor with a 16HP Onan out of an old Sears garden tractor. (Super easy). Honestly, the power taken by the hydraulics has never been an issue. I never flip the switch on mine. Engaged all of the time, cold or warm...

I know this is a very old thread but I am curious as to the outcome. What was causing the issue of the pressure drop? Was it somethng so simple as a loose belt on the pump? Thanks!

I have a pdf of the 1816 Operators Manual (9-4274) I can send you . Provide me your e-mail and I'll send it off!! I am not sure it has exactly what you want but it may help.

Just a heads up for anyone that cares about the original 1816. I just replaced the engine from the single cylinder 16hp Tecumseh to a vintage 16hp twin Onan. Only issues I ran into was the Tecumseh has a center of crank heighth of 4.25" and the industry standard is 5.25". The shaft diameter on...

Exactly, the old cast itron OHV. All of the magnets are secure and in position, the trigger pins seem to be at the right height levels and I have the air gap set to .008 The range was .006 - .010 Like I indicated, it runs like a top until it gets warm. I saw some conversion systems but it...

Well I have rebuilt the axles, rewired the entire machine and several other projects so it is absolutely good or better than new. Now I am at the point of running it. This 1816 has the original 16hp Tecumseh motor and it runs great...when it runs. I am having the issue of it losing spark as soon...

Found that the chain wells are not designed to hold oil for lubrication. They are designed to be flushed with water periodically to remove debris and the chains and sprockets are to be oiled and maintained regularly. Got all of this from the service manual I finally found on eBay. On another...

Being new to owning a skidsteer I wasn't sure what was up. As it turns out, I am going to pull both axles on the left side tonight. It seems the sprockets have play on the axles and that shouldn't be since they have keyways.... Maybe the keys are sheared or shattered. Worse case I may be able to...

I just picked up a 1816 Case to fix up a little. It is not a B or a C. It still has the original Tecumseh right now. Not running currently so keep that in mind.... As I go through the machine a bit at a time I have found a curious thing. The wells that contain the drive chains and gears are full...
