Skidsteer Restoration in 6 minutes CASE 1845C

Restoring our 1998 Case 1845c, rough timeline from start to finish about a month and a half.

[@hddoug72]

1845c was one of my favorite machines to operate. Good controls, plenty of power and pre emissions to boot.

[@Ericwright3]

We just bought a 1845c and I love it. Such a solid beefy machine

[@heatherevanick5892]

We run 4 of them on our farm, they work amazing. 2 1840’s , 2 1845c’s. My husband and boys love using them. I’m more astonished at how much abuse the one of them has taken. We regularly service them and we have one at 21000 hrs, other old one at 11,000, both still have original everything

[@waltflansburg5608]

Nice job! You’ll get years of great use of that machine.

[@markabr13]

Great job! Looks amazing. I've got an 01 1845C with 2830 hrs on it. Looking forward to enjoying it for many years to come!

[@concretefinisher4010]

Great work!Its much easier watching you guys do it 👍

[@ryanohalloran9833]

You Gotta be real proud of that nice Machine 👍

[@northeasterndirtandpropert7974]

Very good vid.I love this kind of shop work.I have see a few 1845's for sale.I found a immaculate,original machine with 1800 hrs from new.PRICE 30,000,00 Can.I only here great things about these old gems.

[@TB-jj9tu]

I have had my 1845c for 20 years now. They are tough little machines and so simple to work on. No computers or emissions.

[@PrecisionWeldandFab]

That’s good to hear and yup those 4cyl Cummins are sure reliable

[@lakepinesfarm1394]

That's an awesome restoration! Need to send you my case 60xt.

[@PrecisionWeldandFab]

Thanks!

[@ohlsonyer924]

fantastic video, thanks for sharing it with us

[@rickcyncora3473]

Nice to see, Manitoba boys doing good work.

[@ciararohrich2970]

I have to rebuild my case 1840, sure wish they had access panel on the bottom like the 1845 does

[@nigeldrury5434]

well done for a good resto.

[@user-manny43]

Looks and sounds great!

[@jurpikag]

Nice job. Did you buy spray cans from Case? Or what brand of paint did you use?

[@Mike-mn9xo]

Love how the video wasn’t 50 parts . Great work

[@Redneckmfg]

Beautiful job !!! Im just starting on an 1845c that is in a little better shape then this one... But, it lived outside even since new so every bolt has to be cut off and hoses are shot !!n Thanks for a Great Video....

[@johnrice6793]

Holy schmoley that’s well done!

[@chriscoe7362]

This is a great video, thank you for sharing! I see the pistons have marring on the sides but what specifically was causing the knock?

[@PrecisionWeldandFab]

The piston rings were seized on a couple of the cylinders likely cause the farmer that had it before us used ether to start it start regularly so that caused most of the scarring, but since the rebuild it’s been running great

[@farmerjacob]

awesome looks great

[@jacksongomez758]

Mine next!! Awesome!

[@JM-yx1lm]

The absolute worst thing you can do in a skid steer is push with the bucket in the position he has it at 6:00 that is a sure fire way to bend a hydraulic cylinder rod

[@frikkied2638]

Very nice sir!

[@ricksanchez7459]

Like new! That unit will last you a lifetime. How much did you wind up putting into it? We have an older gehl I will have to rebuild one day because no way am I buying a new one.

[@puffumac682]

In Germany we say: "Paint is the best Mechanic."

[@devincorrigan8713]

So good looking how well does the job you did hold up? I just acquired and 1840 from my great uncle who just passed the other day 😥. I’d like to get his redone/restored. Where you located any interest in doing the job again? I’m in MN.

[@PrecisionWeldandFab]

It’s holding up good, and no not likely this was more of a personal project

[@BertColomo]

Nice

[@Opigoink]

Good job

[@brittanygreene3519]

Iam in the process of doing an 1845 c it's a little older brown cab but was curious how you where able to move it freely do you have to pull all the chains or is there another way

[@MikoMusicify]

What are the real hours spent on that Job ? Great work..

[@PrecisionWeldandFab]

I want to say roughly 100-150 hours, over the course of a month and a bit

[@alan_is_jay_8411]

What kind of belt did you guys use, we have the exact sane same steer, but the belt is tricky

[@623JAYR]

If you could do jt over would you still get older machine and rebuild vs newer machine? Pros and cons?

[@PrecisionWeldandFab]

Good question. Yes it’s a lot of work. But hard to find a good machine that you know inside and out for $6000 plus $8000 for parts. Equals $14,000 in total. Free labour though! You have to enjoy the labour part. It’s all about price, if you can find one that needs less repairs for the right price that’s a good thing. Keep your eyes out and keep crunching numbers. Ask a lot of questions to the seller to get a good idea/feel of what they are selling. Follow your gut, if it doesn’t feel right don’t buy it

[@MRSketch09]

03:22 WOW.. what a difference?! When you started it up, sounded really nice. I was also very surprised you managed to find a kit to seal it up, being it was as old as it is What an awesome job you guys did! How much money did you end up putting into it? I'm curious if you were able to refurbish a lot of stuff? or did you end up having to buy new hydraulic motors for the wheels? or what happened? (I looked in the description didn't see any details)

[@Greghh1960]

That Cummin engine is pretty common and parts are everywhere for it,

[@andriusbns07]

Great job !! Quests : where did u find case stickers and how much you paid for it ? Cuz I'm looking for case 95xt and it costs approximately 90-100$

[@PrecisionWeldandFab]

Got them online but can’t remember how much or where from

[@HeresMinx]

we run the same machine at our shop

[@jacksongomez758]

Where’d you get the decals from?

[@PrecisionWeldandFab]

I think they are from Amazon

[@mulderoutdoors]

Is there anyway you could share the link to the cab enclosure?! The door and side pieces? I have the same machine and would love to get those for mine.

[@peewee20126]

Just wondering what colour and make of paint you used, I cannot locate rattle cans in Case power tan Thanks in advance Jeff

[@PrecisionWeldandFab]

You probably won’t be able to find it, I had to bring a piece off the machine to local paint shop and get them to match it

[@peewee20126]

Ok…thank you for such a quick reply…..Jeff

[@jacksonramirez1575]

How did you build the door for it? Do you have a video or something to do that?

[@PrecisionWeldandFab]

The door and enclosure is clear plastic that I ordered online

[@user-gg3bo4gq9n]

👍👍👍🔥🔥🔥

[@johnrweiss]

Where did you get the new glass?

[@PrecisionWeldandFab]

It’s an enclosure from loader part source online, and it’s not glass it’s plastic

[@robertkeime4907]

Great video. What overhead are you using?

[@PrecisionWeldandFab]

We used an aluminum A Frame to lift the cab off as well as a chain fall

[@robertkeime4907]

@@PrecisionWeldandFab yes I noticed it was aluminum…..I was just curious If you knew brand or maker. Thanks for your response

[@PrecisionWeldandFab]

Robert Keime oh yeah that one is homemade
