Ok Guys I'm back here again. Borrowed a grapple clamp from a guy and cant seem to push in the universal hose fittings on the skid steer to get the other hoses connected. They appear to look the same but can not get them in far enough to lock up. Any trick to this. Thanks for any help

Phil314, What you did is what I was thinking of doing cause I have a fisher plow that is on my 1 ton dump truck that has some issues and is stuck in low range now so I was thinking of trying that with the plow but didn't know if the 8 foot fisher plow would be to heavy for the skid steer? What...

Thanks guys for the replies and to let you know I'm in northern Pa. so sometimes it snow and sometimes we just get rain anymore, No good snow in the last few years but I am sure it will get back to us again. My skid steer is a 1838 case and I was also wondering if I will need to put wheel...

My 1838 has a bigger round plate (6 inch Diameter) between the two wheels and it has a center plug so I am thinking that is where you check the full plug. There is a similar plug underneath the machine on each side so I am guessing they are the drains. I am also new to the skid steers and I...

I also found that some of the jerking and grinding at start up seemed to be a rod end ball joint that is on the end of the rods coming off of the drive (control) sticks. Heard others talking about some movement at start up so this may be some of the same problems. Took picture of rod end but...

Thanks Tazza, I got the engine oil changed the ail filters and now moving onto the hydraulic fluid, Got a new filter but as I see it case calls for 10w30 with their additive. Does anyone switch over to the universal tractor fluid (UTF) ? I have UTF that I run in my older JD backhoe so was...

Hi, New to here and case equipment. Found a nice 1838 case skid steer think it is a 1999 with 1156 hrs. Working on changing the fluids now and going over things on it. Anyone know if I should be looking for any certain things that may go wrong on these machines with that kind of hrs. on it...
