It is a buddy's Case 1840. he wants to sell it. I was rather interested myself, but man it's beat up.
I am now offering to fix it for my other buddy who wants it, in trade for using it a while.
I am considering using my 1-3/16" bridge reamer (reverse spiral taper tip that transitions to straight sides) to simply ream all the 1" pin holes to 1-3/16.
the holes are worn really really bad. 1-3/16 may not even clean them up completely!!! the original pins are long gone, there are now installed 1" bolts. It's probably been few a few sets of bolts.
I think this is an appropriate fix at this point in the machines life.
just wondering what all of your thoughts are on repairing it. should I remove the cylinders and bore and sleeve? I cannot think of anything that will accomplish that just reaming in place will not. and I can remove the lift arm frame and get it in my mill anyway. to small and pointless to set up to line bore
Thanks.
