    Buy a Case 440-3 with some corrosion?

    And i prefer the series 3 machines. I pull the side glass every spring for a thorough cleaning and polish. Lasts the season with regular washing. The t3 units are still pre emission for the most part and easy to work on imho. Agree, that much rust on the engine is a definite pass. It's a...

    I'm with Chris. Add an accessory power relay. Most relays activate with only 1/4 - 1/2 amp. Easy solution. Key turns on relay. Relay powers accessories from FUSED battery connection.

    Bobcat fuel

    Although I'm unfamiliar with the t300 specifically. Park the unit so filler side is low. You could use a simple sifon hose, or if you have, Fit a fuel transfer pump with a hose suction rather then the solid pipe. Suck the tank dry. Key point is to ensure the filler side is lowest. I generally...

    Tow Trailer brakes or Tow WITHOUT trailer brakes

    Thought this may be worth mentioning. Every state, county, province, territory will vary so check with your local authorities.. In some jurisdictions, special licensing, special registrations and insurances are required for towing additional weight in a "commercial enterprise". In my area, we...

    After market electric heater?

    If you are going through all the work of adding heat, whether it's electric, diesel or coolant based, the best option in my opinion is always coolant. Least amount of power draw, least chance of fire, and most available on the open market. The cost, work effort & installation time will be...

    2007 L185 uses the standard Case/ New Holland temp sensor #A166057 which is a thermistor (temperature variable resistor), NOT a simple on/off temperature switch. The A166057 sensor also applies to upgrade models with gauges for Case & New Holland skid steer models from late 2006 - early 2014...

    After market electric heater?

    800 watts would be pulling 67 Amps @ 12 volt. 600 watts +/- 50 amps. That's a lot of consistent juice to pull off a charging system. Ohms law Amps = watts/volts

    Tow Trailer brakes or Tow WITHOUT trailer brakes

    Trailer brakes are a must, in due diligence, liability and in lawful perspectives. A lot of us have had controllers fail, wiring failures, blown tires, etc and managed to limp home with extreme caution. It always comes down to state of mind in admitting freely that there is an issue, and that...
