Serial Number Location:
For Case CX180D models (manufactured from approximately 2017–2022), the serial number plate is typically mounted on the right-hand side of the upper frame, near the boom base or just under the cab access step. Always verify the serial number when ordering parts, especially to differentiate from earlier C-Series or newer E-Series models.

Common Issues & Fixes
-
DEF System Faults or Derate: Usually caused by low-quality fluid or clogged filters—flush tank, inspect injectors, and update ECU software.
-
Hydraulic System Lag or Drifting: Caused by worn valve seals or pilot pressure loss—test and replace as needed.
-
Cold Start Exhaust Smoke: Clean EGR valve and intake—carbon buildup is common in Tier 4F engines in cold climates.
-
Swing Motor Sticking: Drain filter or case drain line may be obstructed—inspect and clean hydraulic returns.
-
Fuel Starvation Under Load: Replace both fuel filters and inspect lift pump if stalling persists.
-
Arm or Boom Creep: Indicates internal bypass in cylinder—reseal and polish rod surfaces to restore function.
