I have a case 1845 loader--I need to know whether wheels from
an 1845B or 1845C will fit it.
Also if anyone has wheels for sale I'm looking.

The biggest thing with the skid steers is the wheel offsets and the number of holes in the rim which they both should be eight hloe rims. Other wise they will even go from brand to brand! ....

You have to be sure which size rime the machine was designed for---10" or 12".

(All skid steer tires are not the same size, even with in a series or brand---be sure to buy 4 or 5 of the same size at one time. If you don't you break or put cause undue wear to the drivetrain, not just wearing the tires.

10" rims use smaller height tires than 12". 12" tires can be as much as 1-1/2" taller, which doesn't sound like big deal, but if your machine is designed for 10" and you install 12" that will raise the whole machine as much as 3/4", which lifts the back of the bucket about an inch or more making it impossible to keep the bucket flat on the ground.

1845's are notorius for wheel bearings/axle shafts failing, especially the rears. My buddy paid #3,000 for his two rears to be rebuilt. Another friend put $1,500 in parts on his.

Radiators are also an expen$ive i$$ue.

Another tire option is pickup truck tires. I don't recall the brand but I've seen some machines with Ground-Hawgs, or something like them (looks like very wide, old-school "snow tires". In fact, before skid steers were popular, they came factory-equipped with pickup truck tires. If you go this route get the stiffest sidewall ones you can find which offer better stability, less bounce, better steering response, and better load rating cversus something lesser. ....
