Problem – Received a call from customer saying they are having trouble starting the engine on their Case 430 Skid Steer Loader. After a series of questions it seemed the machine had rolled over & the operator had failed to shut down the engine…. Hmmm…
Diagnosis – An on-site inspection was carried out & amongst an oil drenched belly pan, a two inch long piece of camshaft was found. Engine access to a 430 is very limited with the loader frame down & inability to raise the cabin, however some tricky camera work with a mobile (cell) phone revealed the exit point of the item in question. Discussions were made with owner of the machine & he decided to take it to the local Case dealer for a quote for an insurance claim. A couple of weeks passed & new contact was made, insurance claim was rejected & the Case dealer wanted an astronomical amount of money to replace the Iveco 445/M2 engine. I made some calls to some contacts & came up with a replacement price of just over half of the dealer quote.
A recovery mission was undertaken to the Case dealer, to prepare the machine for transportation & gather all the dismantled pieces for some TLC at the ALR Laboratory – all this was included in the ALR repair price!
Repair – Brand new Iveco 445/M2 was fitted with a huge $$$ saving to a very happy client. 😉
Looki ng for a used engine for a case 420 ct skidsteer it’s an iveco motor
Hello Steve,
Finding used engines for skid steers is very difficult.
If you are looking for the Iveco engine, you would have a 420CT Series3 – correct?
To locate a used engine in Australia, is quite a challenge. Are you in Australia?
A new engine will be about the only other way to get your machine going, short of rebuilding your existing unit – depending on the amount of damage it has.
If you are in Australia, feel free to give me a call & I’ll see what I can do for you.

I’m curious as to how a yanmar engine would go as a replacement in a Case 1845 that a friend has a seized engine at 1400 hrs. He is in Australia btw
Hey Cameron,
My guess is that if the horsepower is near the original it would be fine.
Taking into account reworking the mounts/exhaust/fan shroud/throttle etc, It’s always easier to rebuild or replace with the same engine.
Is this a Case 207 or a 4-390 Cummins 4B?
cheers!

Hi from Oz have a case 337 skid steer with a blown Ivico motor con rod through the side stripped it down parts over 12k what better engine can go in thanks Brian
Hey Brian,
That’s always sad to hear.
I’m not sure which model you have as 337 doesn’t come up – 370B maybe??
I have actually tried to fit different types of engines to machines when they fail. It can cost more if it doesn’t fit straight in & you need to pay someone to make it happen.
Without the proper machine model & engine type – I’m really only guessing…
Cheers
