Help with Case 1840 skidloader

jacksonduper · Feb 11, 2019

I have a Case 1840 skidloader that won't start. Two weeks ago the day before the really cold snap in Wisconsin I used the 1840 to scrap a little snow in preparation for the weather. While I was using it died on me and wouldn't restart. I thought it was gelled up but when the weather has warmed up it still won't start. I have fuel to the fuel filter but it won't fire. I'm not getting any puffs of smoke out of the exhaust when it is turning over. What should I check next. Thanks for any and all help in advance.

You don't say if you have fuel to the injection pump. Good chance the filter plugged if the fuel gelled, they won't always clear just because it warms up. I would start by changing the filter(s) and bleed the system. If they are spin ons fill one with Howes Conditioner and put the rest of the bottle in the tank. A few gallons of K1 in the tank wouldn't hurt either by the sounds. If it has an electric solenoid to turn the pump on/off check to see that it has power. Just my thoughts.

Did you change the filter? Once waxed up they aren't worth leaving on the engine. Probably have to bleed it at the pump.
