1978 Case W14 loader

GovAuctions Summary

A 1978 Case W14 wheel loader with a 336BD diesel, sold as-is. Its rebuilt engine is leaking coolant between the head and block, the parking brake does not work, and the air brakes leak, so it moves only a short distance. Heavy equipment dealers and parts buyers are the likely market, with the hydraulics, new hoses, and tires as selling points. Confirm the coolant leak and whether the hydraulics work under load, and note that no attachments are included.

Full Description

1978 Case W-14. 336BD 4 cylinder non turbo diesel. It has an engine issue. Engine was rebuilt October 2024. Only has a handful of hours on rebuild. It will start and run, but coolant is coming out from between head & block. The company that did the work is no longer around. All 4 tires (16.9-24) are a couple years old. Newer radiator, starter, multiple new hydraulic hoses, electric block/coolant heater. Engine will start and run enough to move unit short distance. Hydraulics work. The parking brake does not work, and air brakes have a leak. The unit is set up for a quick disconnect, but no attachments are included. We don't know if this is a standard hitch or something someone made. It needs new batteries. The unit can be jumped so it can be loaded onto a hauler. Dataplate on unit lists overall dimensions: L224", W86", H124" Weight 14700lbs.
