Case SR175B Troubleshooting

The Case SR175B skid steer loader is powered by 135.2 cu.in (2.2L) Perkins 404F-E22TA 4-cylinder turbocharged intercooled diesel engine with a rated power of 64 hp (47.6 kW) at 2800 rpm. The Case SR175B is equipped with a radial-lift loader boom, one-speed or two-speed hydro transmission, ASA 80 drive chains, and 10.00x16.5 standard tires. The hydraulic system has a pump with fluid flow rate of 20.6 gpm (78 lpm) or 30.7 gpm (116.2 lpm). The skid steer loader has a rated operating capacity of 1750 lbs (790 kg) and tipping load of 3500 lbs (1590 kg). The lift height is 122 inches (3100 mm) to hinge pin, and dump height is 97.2 inches (2470 mm).
