Hello, is there any way ( I dare there is) to increase the hydraulic relief pressure on a Case 1840 from the standard 2300psi to say 3,000psi? We are looking into a Hahn wood splitter for our 1840 but there is no point in getting one if we cant drive it. If we cant safely increase the pressure...

Gidday, I have a Case 1840 skidsteer and am looking at getting a backhoe for it. I see the D100 appears to be the standard one for it, will the D100 & D125 interchange on the 1840? Its a long way from the US to import one and then find out it wont fit.

Hello, can anyone tell me what the puirpose of these plate seals are? How thick are they and what are they made of, ie steel? Ours doesnt have any in it, thanks a million!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Im wondering if their installation wont stop the chassis wall from flexing.

Whats the correct engine oil type for our Case 1840? Thanks in advance, the owners manual never came with it. And how important is it for the HTO to be added to the hydraulic oil?

Hello, can anyone tell me if this machine is a factory production model? I ask because it appears to have extra hydraulics on it and also a cover to access the hydraulic tank on the lower RHS. I have never seen another one like it, I remember now when I looked at it it had switches for 2 extra...

Yea they picked her up this morning to repair it, they are a good engineering company and I know they will do a great job. Being from a scrap metal yard its done alot of work on concrete, I think this would have have been adding to the strain over time too. We will be working on ground here. We...

Hello there Tazza. They were not properly welded at all, just bits of scrap metal have been used, real dissapointing to see when it arrived. (It came from a scrap metal yard.) However Im just home from town and an engineering firm is going to fix it properly, they will be here today or tomorrow...

Hello again. I see the aforementioned model (which I just bought 2nd hand) has a habit of cracking around the lower chain casing, in this case its 'only' the rear axles. Whats the best way to fix this? I am going to take it to an engineer in town and see if he can make a plate up which can be...

Yea your'e right matt. Some clown has not only made a mess of the hand brake but they have also welded, wait for it, 1/4" plate over each handbrake hole in the chain case. Both front sprockets like they are relatively new but the RHR isnt too happy, looks like its been a half hearted effort been...

There was another piece found in there too, a tube also about 3" long x 3/4" dia and mangled....

Hello, this is my first message on this forum. I bought a Case 1840, average condition, 5,000 hours on it. Im a self taught mechanic and decided after having it 2 weeks, its been in the shed most of the time, it was time today to check the drive chains. One was dry and the other had about 5...
