CASE 435 to SV300 specifications

Original 435 and 445 loading functions differ from their options

The original CASE 435/445 brochure identifies Power Reach vertical-lift linkage. Its optional hydraulic self-levelling feature keeps the bucket level while the arms rise. That description does not promise automatic levelling on the lowering stroke. A used-machine demonstration should distinguish a missing option from behaviour outside the function the brochure describes.

The same publication names a turbocharged Family III 334T/M2 for the 435 and a 445/M2 for the 445. It does not identify them as the later Series III engine package. Keep that distinction when comparing service records or ordering fuel and cooling components from the model table.

High-flow auxiliaries are another option, with different output entries for the two machines. An electrical auxiliary control and the additional front auxiliary package address control of attachments; neither alone proves that the high-flow hydraulic installation is fitted. A brush cutter or planer enquiry needs the flow package and control functions identified separately.

The brochure's rear service arrangement places daily fills and the engine dipstick under the hood, while the swing-out door exposes other level checks. Its pull-out radiator provides cleaning access. An invoice for an oil change does not show that the separate coolant and hydraulic-level checks were performed.

The original 465 electrical values were transposed

The 2005 operator manual for the 450, 450CT and 465 specifies a 12-volt alternator rated at 95 amps, with a 12-volt battery and starter. The earlier comparison had reversed the voltage and current fields for the 465. Corrected rows now identify the actual quantities, with both rejected entries retained below so the discrepancy can be traced.

That manual also separates the main supply fuse block from the accessory block. It lists the interlock-related circuit separately from accessory auxiliary controls. A machine that loses drive and a machine that loses attachment controls can therefore require different observations even when both complaints are described as electrical.

Record the warning shown, the affected function and whether the engine continues running. A generic account of another owner's seat-switch fault does not establish a failed switch on this machine. Follow the applicable diagnostic procedure rather than bypassing the operator-restraint circuit to imitate a forum suggestion.

The corrected electrical identification applies to the original465 documented in this manual. It does not replace the separate engine and equipment specification for the later 465 Series III column on the companion comparison.
