Looking at a Case 1816 skidsteer. What price are they going for (in good to poor condition)? What years were they made? What is the specs on the loader (lifting lbs., hight, ect.)How much do they weigh (need to know for hauling)? Are they reliable? What engines were used in them? I seen one with a Tecumseh OH160 cast iron single cylinder(great engine in its day). Thanks, Ash

Not sure about the going price today but when new they sold for around $8,000. The weight was around 2000 lbs, we used to carry them in the back of a pickup, prefered to use a 3/4 ton model though. Originally they used the OH160 Tecumseh until the 1816C and then they used the B43M Onan. Earlier models could be fitted with the Onan but required a little body work with a sledge hammer to open up the area a little between the loader supports. The first 1816 came with a temperature guage for the hydraulics but due to where the sending unit was located they were doing a lot of warranty work on the hot hydraulics, after removal of gage, no hot hydraulc problems. I think that the first 1816's had the electric clutch for the hydrostats and later they put on an over center arrangement which is the one I prefered. The electric clutch came on so quickly it would stall out the engine. Never had to work on any of the clutches though, just replace a belt or two and that required the engine to be removed. The Onan was the better of the two engines for it was designed to run at 3600 rpm where case had these set at 3750 to operate the hydraulics. The Tecumseh would do fine but it required a more frequent oil change like every 20 hours and then the average life would be around 450 hours. Due to the high rpm, the Tecumseh required closer attention to oil leaks, it had the splash lube system and if you had a leak then the vacuum would be lost and it would run rough. If it was continued to allow running in this condition an overhaul would be required. The Onan had an oil pump so this wasn't as critical but still needed to be maintained. The loader would lift about 900 lbs. There was two buckets available, 36" and 40". The wider of the two got the wider tires for better stability. In my opinion these units operated better in wet, sloppy conditions but you had to watch the bucket for there was no self-leveling feature. The best part is that they had the nickname of 'motorized wheelbarrow' within the Case company but with all joking aside, those were some real working machines. The only other options available back then besides the buckets and tires were remote hydraulics used for the optional grapple for the bucket. I think these ran from 1978 to 1985 and then they upgraded to the 1818.
