Ken, I sent you 2 emails with pictures. Pls. check them out and reply. Thanks.

I'll give you a shout tomorrow morning around 7:30am. Its your turn to buy donuts :)

Ken, can you give me a time window (Toronto time) to call you so I dont catch you off guard.

Thanks for helping out, Tazza. I missed an important piece of detail on the creeping. If my bucket is loaded and up, it tends to slowly tilt downwards. I have to keep the controls down constantly to hold the bucket up. Could this be considered "passing"? Is there an easy fix or what is the fix...

Thanks for all the excellent details you listed there. I had the busted 3/4" hose made today - better than new and cost me only $65. A friend told me it’s about $600 at Case. The busted hose was the original on my 1985-1845B. I de-greased it and found the original Case paint all over it. I want...

I had a couple of mechanic friends come by today to help remove my left planetary. It was not an easy project. We ran into problem after problem and out of sheer frustration, one of the guys said he needs to see the leak before I will proceed. I started the machine and oil was gushing out and...

Thanks for the link Ken. You Da man.

Thanks Ken. I'm in the Minden/Haliburton area. Buying the 1845 was one of my happiest moments but it also brings be a hell of a lot of heart ache when it breaks down. It costs me $837.50 to tow it my Toronto (one way) repair shop. Right now, my left planetary is broken and cant find a mechanic...

Thanks, Tazza. Why is the bucket not part pf the equation?

I'm getting numbers from 6000 to 8000 pounds from different sources. Which is correct for a 1845B. Thank you.

What is the wet or dry weight of a Case 1845. I need to float/tow mine and the towing companies are asking me this question. I called Case and they asked me to look at the tag on the chassis. I dont have a tag on mine. Pls help.

Hey Joe, a bigger picture might force you out of retirement. That picture is there to remind me that life is not all that bad when my skid steer is broken and out of commission. It reminds me that there's something else that puts a smile on my face. ;)

Use your truck and trailer for advertising purposes. Get magnetic signs for your family vehicles so you can take them off when you dont want to display them. Always advertise your business with a front lawn sign wherever you work for the day and remove it at the end of your job. You'd be amazed...

What is the fuel tank capacity of an 1845B and average consumption. Mine uses about 5 litres of diesel for an hour of use. Is this normal and if not, what are my options? Thank you.

How can I move/tow a disabled machine that cannot be stated? Is there a way to release the wheels and steering to move it a short distance like into my garage or onto a trailer. Thanks.
