Case 1835 B Skid steer

Can anyone tell me why my drive chain housing is filling with hydraulic oil? Any info would be greatly appreciated.

I do believe your drive motor is leaking.

Any idea on how hard and expensive that will be to fix?

I don't, but someone on TBN almost totally rebuilt an 1845. Might do a search.

I have the service manual for the 1845C. Will take a look and see what I can find.

The hyd drive motors are connected to the planetary drive which are bolted to the chain housing. I believe the only way hyd fluid can get into the chain housing is through the planetary gear box.

I believe a way to check if the drive motor is leaking is to jack the skid steer up on blocks, and remove the wheels and the drive motor. Then start up the engine and engage the drive and see if the shaft seals are leaking. Another way would be to remove the drive motor, and take to a hyd shop for testing, and if leaking, get an estimate for seals or whatever. If you think you can do it, have them order the seals for the motor and do it yourself.

You have to roll the cab back, lock the arms up!!! Then remove the hoses and unbolt the motor!

Thanks. I take it this is an all day job?

The 1835B is a little different than the 1845.

The drive motor doesn't bolt to a planetary on the 1835B, it mounts to the chain case and there's no center or 'idler' sprocket in the chain system.

I've attached a parts diagram that may help you.

Thanks! I think I should buy a manual. Any suggestions or should I just go to my Case dealer?

I have a IH 3200 Series A Skid Steer, 1970's model. It requires 7 1/2 quarts of SAE 20 to be put into the chain case housing. Not sure if you have a leak or if your machine requires same. Attached pdf file is an excerpt from my operators manual.
