That's going to be the most accurate skid steer ever. I'm not knocking your work at all. I understand making something better than New. I love fixing old Tractors and vehicles myself. Most things can be fixed with a lathe and a welder. But actually make it right takes a bit more time but the outcome is always worth it. Great job explaining your repairs. Plus the cross tube is way better than factory now.
Hello Charles,
I hope the new cross beam being more rigid isn’t A bad thing? I do enjoy the process. Many people fix up old cars but i prefer construction or tractors. Thanks for the comment.
You are doing a on point restoration. A few yrs ago I bought a Case 1818 with 500 hrs on it. A little brother to the 1840. I did not have the typical wear and abuse of most machines. I have had to repair a few issues. I imagine that many components as the 1840 are similar and watching your videos is helping me see what lies underneath and how things work. Up until the 1818 I have never fooled with these machines. Last yr I bought a Bobcat E20 mini excavator. It was a rental and looks like a used up machine. I have been replacing alot of parts and plan on doing a total repaint. A nicer machine would have been more money. It has been interesting to work on it and learn about them. My local Bobcat dealer has been very helpful with parts and answering any questions that I have.
I’ve never worked on a skid steer either but have a lot of mechanical experience on other things. Glad it’s helping you visualize your project. Thanks for following along!
Banking on concrete being level and the Harbor Freight stands being level with your current setup. Shim until frame is level sitting on those items and then you will have a more predictable setup.
My dad is the same. He must have dropped 60k into an old camaro an now it must be worth 28k... but it was his first car sooooo. Dads an their hobbies.
Yeah it’s easy to get carried away for sure. I’m spending a lot of time but not so much money thankfully. Thanks for the comment!
Nice job.
Definitely get yourself a pen dye setup. 3 parts, cleaner, penetrant and developer. Really quick, cheap and you can follow your cracks pretty far.
Nice to see you jump in with both feet, its never a waste of time to develop great problem solving/troubleshooting skills.
Keep after it brother, signed, your neighbor state to the north😅
Thanks Buddy,
I’m kinda regretting not knowing about the crack finding kit. I’m familiar with magna-fluxing for cylinder heads. I should have done some research I guess. Thanks for the comment and watching!
Look into getting a dye penetrate crack testing kit. Seen Curtis from Cutting Edge Engineering use it and seems to find even tiny cracks. Anyway, great video, you earned a new sub!
Christopher,
I thought about trying Dykem layout dye but never got around to it. Good to know there is such a thing. Thanks for the suggestion.
