Buying and Fixing Skid Steer

[@Ebikelover]

Amazing how filthy that engine was after only 857 hrs, great job on figuring everything out and getting it running. Congrats Mike.

[@mikekisch5563]

i dont know how it got so full of dirt but im glad its running

[@Ebikelover]

@@mikekisch5563 Yes thats mind blowing but you rocked it and have a nice machine now

[@BD-qq4fn]

Rebuilds engine, valve body like it’s nothing…..this guy is my hero! I’m just finishing up a valve body for a Bobcat 753 (square lights)….PITA to get it out! Great post!

[@joesharp5602]

What a project, but worth it in the end. Seems like a good performer now with low time on the frame. This was a great video.. Many thanks and Merry Christmas... Joe

[@mikekisch5563]

it seems like this one was worth the time for sure

[@plumber802]

I am amazed that you were able to get that engine running again and I gave your cat a thumbs up.

[@Rockk12]

Man good save on the runaway. I bet most people would've panicked and let it kill itself.

[@mikekisch5563]

im just glad there wasnt any major damage

[@mikep95133]

Excellent work Mike !!

[@ryancormier3504]

Wow that little turbo Diesel sounds really good on the bench

[@mikus4242]

Great work. Merry Christmas.

[@joshbutterfass5251]

I wonder how long it sat without being running or even how that dirt got in the engine

[@mikekisch5563]

who know, i dont even know if the engine is original

[@joshbutterfass5251]

@@mikekisch5563 at least it has an engine now image if you purchased the machine without the engine I can imagine how hard it would be to find one that would work in the skid loader

[@bobjoncas2814]

LOOKIN' GOOD, NICE WORK, KEEP SAFE..

[@tujuprojects]

Good machine to work with when the cab raises like that.

[@mikekisch5563]

i really like how new holland designed the access on this machine, even the radiator will swing out without any tools to clean it.

[@tujuprojects]

12:10 i think that has something to do with idle speed, not sure, i read about it in my perkins manual.

[@tujuprojects]

You had a nice clean concrete floor. In past tense :)

[@FishingFrustrationsUK]

new sub here i like these kind of vids i may learn stuff

[@Quiet-storm]

The pin is supposed to float in the piston. Did you put the Spiro locks on each side of the piston pin holes?

[@mikekisch5563]

i locked the pin in with the locks. the problem is the pin was tighter on the rod than it was on the piston. i still think i would have done that again

[@Quiet-storm]

@@mikekisch5563 from what I saw the pin was too tight on the small end of the rod. You could have had the small end of the rod honed so you have proper clearances. Obviously all of those bores and diameters needed to be measured and then calculate the clearances.

[@kellysprayberry8163]

I wondered about that too. You see them both ways, full floating with spiral locks or like I believe on a small block Ford, the wrist pin is press fitted into the small end of the rod and you usually have to heat the rod to get it pressed out. Idk. Best wishes. I have the N844 Shibaura in my 1988 Ford 1920 that I need to rebuild. Always good to see as much on these as one can.

[@mikekisch5563]

mikes machine shop said it was a kubota knock off engine, its a pretty simple engine, i didnt like the design of the main crankshaft bearing seems over complicated. im sure they have there reasons for the design.

[@kellysprayberry8163]

@@mikekisch5563 I don’t know if it’s a knock off, but Shibaura manufactured the tractors for Ford and New Holland for years. There are N843 and N844 series of that engines in 1220,1320,1520,1720,1920 and 2120 tractors that eventually turned into the TC series New Holland tractors over on the New Holland tractor group, they speak highly of those Japanese tractors especially over new ones today. I think they were purchased by Perkins and are maybe the same as the 202 series Perkins/Caterpillar engines. Stephen Cox has a few videos on rebuilds. Those might be good references maybe. Best wishes and thank you for posting your videos.

[@tujuprojects]

There is an electronic governor available for that if you are not happy with the mechanical one.

[@kischlisa1957]

FASCINATING!!! AMAZING!!!

[@benjamingirard339]

I'm jealous - I'd like to find a project track loader like that. Why is your workbench on springs?

[@mikekisch5563]

its was a vibratory table for making concrete panels for a house i am building, but i changed the building process and made tilt walls instead.

[@GrandsonofKong]

Push Rod if it's not bent. If bent, then it's called the "weak link". I think I've heard other channels call this a "Duster" where it was run without an Air Cleaner. At least how ese could dirt get inside the Intake and everywhere else? Besides vandalisim/sabotage that is

[@mikekisch5563]

vandalism is what i was wondering as well, but who knows its hard to say if this engine was even came with this machine originally

[@GrandsonofKong]

@@mikekisch5563 Well thumbs up 👍👍that you got this thing running and moving again!!

[@tujuprojects]

31:47 that’s called injector pump rack. It’s quite loose normally, not that tight you showed first time.

[@daddywoofdawg]

I was hoping to see the install of the engine I have a new holland with low compression and I have a feeling I'm going to have to pull the engine and wanted to see what was involved in that.

[@mikekisch5563]

i would have liked to have pulled it out. it makes it more familiar to put back together. what engine does yours have?

[@daddywoofdawg]

@@mikekisch5563 Kubota diesel V1902 looking for a used running one if anyone knows of one.

[@mikekisch5563]

@@daddywoofdawg kubota is a good engine. i dont know anyone

[@daddywoofdawg]

@@mikekisch5563 so what all is involved in putting the engine in I.E connection to the "trans etc"

[@mikekisch5563]

@@daddywoofdawg its pretty well engineered. just flip the cab up then take off radiator assembly oil cooler and you access the engine. then there is like a few bolts holding the engine to the pump and a few for the mounts. the service manual says 4 hours tilting the cab and 3.5 hours not tilting the cab.

[@TheHomePros6221]

How in the hell was that thing so filthy? Was it sunk in a mud hole?

[@michaellynskey7124]

The light is making it very difficult to watch what you are explaining about the breakdown of the NH skid steer with engine failure.

[@tujuprojects]

Is there oil filters with a valve so that it wont leak empty?

[@mikekisch5563]

that would be a great product let me know if you find something

[@tujuprojects]

@@mikekisch5563 either the filters or filter housing, i think I’ve heard they exist. Where else i would have gotten the idea.

[@martintaylor984]

Honestly to me, it looks like someone used it as a parts machine and decided to put it together as much as possible to sell it. But it’s a fine machine for sure after all the work!!!

[@mikekisch5563]

that was my thought as well.

[@watcher_1960]

is that a Shibuara N844LT? 1.9 or 2.2 Liter? Is that a CT170? Love the video, subbed. Thanks. I love new holland. I have two of them. I bought my first one with a blown engine(threw a rod, hole in block, crank destroyed. I bought a new engine off Ebay, cheap, brand new. $2K. I have a good head, fuel injection setup and some other parts.

[@mikekisch5563]

yes it is n844lt. i think the 2.2l . i like it too. its hand and foot controls and the foot controls are in a more natural position than the bobcat.

[@sonnybono9889]

Good video

[@terrykrajcik8544]

Do you have contact info for "Mikes Machine Shop"? I also have a N844T that needs rebuilding. Thanks

[@mikekisch5563]

are you from oklahoma? you google mikes machine shop. he is in okc area.

[@watcher_1960]

I have some parts for the LT engine... 1.9 liter. many parts interchange.

[@dontbe]

how much did you pay for it? I know you paid 3500ish for the backhoe.. :)

[@paulmcqueen1943]

My drive belts keep coming off. Does anyone no why

[@mikekisch5563]

are you referring to the belts for the alternator and fan?

[@watcher_1960]

@@mikekisch5563 I think he has a Bobcat?

[@watcher_1960]

if you have a Bobcat? Then Check your motor mounts and pump mounts. throwing belts shouldn't happen. something is very wrong... bearings out, bad belts, motor mounts out of alignment. Tension between pump and engine may be compromised.

If it wasn't a Perkins you wouldn't have had to worry about working on it , anything else would be beyond help .Who would do that to a machine 🤔
