Found an intruiging deal on a Case 1845B. I dont know what year it is. Its got 6,000 hours on it. It has the old Case 188D motor in it. I think the guy is trying to pull a fast one or hes misinformed because hes calling it a 1845C which would have a Cummins motor in it. Any experience with these old Case machines? comes with a 6 foot bucket and a set of forks is it worth 8 grand?

6,000 hrs sounds high, check the undercarriage and hydraulics. Motor would be least of my worries.

yeah I'd say 6000 is high. and you can drop a lot of money fixing things worn out, before getting to the motor.

Thanks, I thought the same thing.

U will jave problems from evreything but the motor thoes are good basic machines in there prime

Used equipment that has any life left in it is high right now. If anything is in question, I would move on to another machine.

Pretty fair amount of hours for what your lookin at...id pass unless he was just givin it away...older case equipment with b series cummins in them were good machine...anything much newer id stay away from...theybaint made nothin in the last 10 or so years id have anything to do with...we have had 5 580super N backhoes in 2 years..including our 2018...absolute junk..wouldnt have one.
