Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
I think all my gauges are illuminated. Gotta check next time we have an eclipse.And where's the best place to buy these 24v dash bulbs?
Thanks for the pics. Is there any way you can post them with a higher resolution? I have a hard time seeing what is (or in this case isn't?) in there.Per the Michelin 12.5 r 20 dissection. Had a minute today so here you go. The damage from the "Spear Rock".
I went out to measure mine, but it is in 3pt stance, so only about a foot off the ground.Could someone please get me the height of the FLU419 pintle hitch over ground; I am working on a trailer 500 miles away from my FLU419? Thanks.
Disregarding two at 31 inches (low tires, uneven ground) it looks like you should set up your trailer for 32 inches.Could someone please get me the height of the FLU419 pintle hitch over ground; I am working on a trailer 500 miles away from my FLU419? Thanks.
I don't know what you guys are complaining about. It is probably the easiest of the three to adjust it in and out.I was afraid that might be the case.
By the way, did you also get to enjoy having the bolt turn when trying to move only the locking nut? That was the highlight, I think.
Ended up putting long-nose Vice Grips on the bolt's threads, on the left side, to enable turning the locking nut. That was cruel to the threads, but beats trying to get two wrenches (and two hands) in there.
I haven't got around to get rid of them, and nature may beat me to it. Since I never have the indicator lights on, it wouldn't matter to me if it did trigger a fault light.Finished installing drivers side front wheel seal and got to thinking about the brake pad wear wires, I will never in two life times wear out the pads. It's not like the other mogs that go on 100 mile camping trips, has anyone removed there wires and if so does it cause a problem with indicator light on dash that also is for the low brake fluid and parking brake? For the little pin that slides into the pad to touch the rotor and send a signal to lamp #3 would take 10k plus miles in heavy start stop traffic. Also the wires could get ripped off by branches in the woods. I also have corrosion at the plug on the torsion tube they might not work anyways.
Okay Ron, next time I'll just tilt the cab instead of laying down. Not!I don't know what you guys are complaining about. It is probably the easiest of the three to adjust it in and out. You don't even have to lay down or anything.
Were you able to tilt the cab just with the chain/strap in the front and the ratcheting pole?One thing that worked well was to use a ratcheting pole that I bought at home depot.

I ran a come-along over the roll bar and winched it up to get enough room for the ratcheting pole. The strap was added afterward as an additional safety measure. I did not try and lift with the ratchet strap / chain at all. Needed a sky hook, but I keep it with my board stretcher, and haven't been able to find either one lately.Were you able to tilt the cab just with the chain/strap in the front and the ratcheting pole?
So I'm not the only one who has a need for a crane, then. I'm still surprised at how often the HMMH is useful, even though I have built a "sky hook" for the tractor.Needed a sky hook, but I keep it with my board stretcher, and haven't been able to find either one lately.
