Case 1840 won't go cold

mshultz · Oct 27, 2013

Has anyone ever run across this problem: When it gets much below 45 degrees, our Case 1840 skid loader one hydrostatic drive side won't drive until the machine warms up a few minutes. It's either go or no go - it doesn't slip at all once it decides to go (you can stall it when digging into a pile). Once it is warmed up, you can use it all day with no problems, and if it's above 50 it works even when cold.

Any ideas? Thanks!

I am not a whizz kid on 1840 hydrostats, but perhaps there is an issue with the filters, or the cold oil relief.

where would one find the cold oil relief? It almost acts like a water pump that"s trying to prime - you can drag it along with the other side for a bit, and after it moves a while it starts to catch up and then she"s ready to roll for the day. Thanks!
