Effingham, IL | I just lost a chain this morning. Have never worked on them before. I assume it broke haven't tore in to it yet. Can you do anything through the inspection doors or do I have to slide the rops? Have looked at the owners manuel and still need more info. Any help appreciated!!! Craig |

Southern Ontario, Canada | Remove the plastic covers to visually see which chain is broken. Have always found it best to remove the wheel and axle housing. After the bolts are off axle housing, pull housing away from machine 1 or 2 inches. Reach in through inspection cover on top. Remove cotter pin and nut. Then pull axle assembly out leaving sprocket inside chain case. Remove old chain and debris. Install new chain and rejoin chain at link. Put chain over sprocket and reassemble in reverse order. |

Leesburg, Ohio | Deewight has it right. Been awhile since I've done one, but have rebuilt our old 1845b a couple times, and the "c" model once. Not a hard job at all, just need to take some time to clean the chain boxes out, and clean up the mating surfaces before putting everything back together. That oil in the chain cases gets full of water and sludge...really needs to be drained and cleaned once a year, especially if you pressure wash the loader very often. Hard to keep the seals under the plastic lids from leaking. Check your stub axles bearings closely while you are there...good time to replace or at least repack them. We broke a stub axle once...you don't want to buy one...$600 about 4 years ago before steel went up! Good luck. |
