Case 1816B Skid Steer Restoration Part #7

[@mrc3584]

I just bought an 1816 which needs either the Onan engine gone through or a repower with a kohler. This video series helped me greatly thanks and nice work!

Glad it helped. Thank you for watching.

Fabulous rebuild, the changes are great and extremely helpful. I will be using them on mine. By the way was the lathe in the picture a SB9. Thanks again for the great post.

The lathe is a six foot long R.J. Reed. A true antique. Thank you for watching.

How do you like them BKT tires? On the fence vs Goodyear. Price point is big. I did a repower twice! Kollher 20hp. Motor shelled out. Bought new 18hp Vanguard. Degreased painted, new seat led lights and strobes, paint, decals. Built a door for winter, took a walk behind vinyl cab fliped reversed. Heated seat pad 12v. Keeps me toasty Iowa Winters. Seal kits for cylinders, new hoses. Made a bucket mount for snow blade 48". This my power wheelchair for the future.

Hi Mike: Wish I could view your build. As for the tires. I bought tubeless tires and had to install tubes in them. So I do not know how much I saved by going with less expensive tires. I do not know about how they wear because I have not used the machine enough yet. I have to put some decals on. I am slowly building a Roll Over Cage. Good Luck with your machine and the cold weather.

Another nice project, is this a start of a collection or for someone, this unit looks like it needs a cab?, my L250 is all painted, got all new hydraulics and wiring on so far, its a part time project

[@oldretiredguy]

Good luck with your project. Is there a way to view your build? Thank you for the kind words.

@@oldretiredguy might get my daughter to do a basic upload when I’m done, I’m almost there, fitting the Kohler engine in the morning 😅

[@oldretiredguy]

@@farmerrick9660 I will look forward to viewing your build. I gave you some bad info earlier. I made the mistake of thinking you were talking about the seat bracket on my current case skid steer build. On the New Holland I built the bracket under the seat so that my seat would be raised. I am tall and it helped mafe the machine comfortable for me to operate. Sorry about that.

What do you think it cost for all the hydraulic hoses. I also have access to a crimp tool too

[@joew5862]

I’m thinking of putting all new ones on my machine too

[@oldretiredguy]

Hello Joe W. I kept an excel spread sheet of the entire build. I have $745.00 invested in the hoses and fittings. That does not include the parts to rebuild two cylinders. The cost of two new cylinders. And the hydraulic fluid. Good Luck...

[@joew5862]

Thinks. That’s what I was thinking
