I owned an 1150b for about 5 years and sold it last year. it ran fine, no welds, undercarriage was good and had fresh paint and after 2 seperate auctions ended up taking 10 grand for it. good machine, easy to run with lots of power but constant transmission problems. over the years i put a couple of charge pumps in it, lots of screwing around with the transmission valve, and even had the transmission rebuilt by a case dealer but it was just never right. engine was simple and straightforward, i did an inframe myself for a little over 1 grand in parts, sleves, pistons etc. got the parts aftermarket from somewhere in Pa (wegners?) and was happy with that. However, i just got tired of the transmission. one day fine, next day it wouldn't move, next day the case guy would put the "hydrasluth" tester on it and there would be no problems, and on and on and on. spent a lifetime changing filters, trans fluid, screnes and the like with limited success. finally, it ran perfect for about 3months straight, which is when i decided to sell it. i did see one that was pretty ratty but it ran, go for $2,800 at an auction this summer. i still have the case shop manual for the machine if you need me to check any specs on it. I seem to remember the weight being at 27,000 pounds.
