Popular Post JoeH Posted March 29, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted March 29, 2019 1970something Case W18 wheel loader today. No check engine light, no computer, none of the gauges work, brakes are iffy, we've been running it as is for 25+ years. Except for the half-ass (literally, only the ass-half) paint job last year. Like most projects, we needed it running before we finished. This one the cab sits on the front half, wheel loaders nowadays have the cab on the rear so the operator has a better idea of where the back of the machine is pointing. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeH Posted May 25, 2019 Author Share Posted May 25, 2019 Probably same way this unit us completely rust free. We have owned it for decades, and all it does is load our concrete trucks, and clear the snow around the property. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullheaded Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 Nice shape. When I was hauling wood chips the company I hauled for had all Case wheel loaders to load the chips and hog fuel. We all used to load ourselves. I found they were slow, but they had a LOT of pushing power. They would push straight up those hog fuel piles. Then I got working for a company many years ago where I ran 988 and 992 Cat's. Then some days I would have to jump into a big Hough that articulated like your Case. That would throw you right off for a while until you got used to it, LOL. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
