    FLU419 won't start. need help!

    Just remembered...it's Belmetric. And don't forget to ask Matt about sending the washers for the banjo fittings, too. You probably won't need to replace all the fuel lines, but if you can turn one on the fitting, that's a leak point. Also, the gasket on the strainer is a likely source. I...

    FLU419 won't start. need help!

    I chased several air leaks, and severe bacteria in the tank, for a while. BioBor took care of the bacteria and parts and pieces from Matt (of course I can't remember the company name now) solved the air leaks.

    Depends on what you consider "new". They've been using the soy lube for about 20 years by now.

    Let me know if you're interested. I have nice one for sale.

    Would you mind an HME?

    They should be the much better flat face version. As I recall, the ones on the tool reel are the same, so get the part numbers from those. I've used Google, then eBay from there.

    Or I have the wrong alternators in mine. They exceed the battery at rest voltage by quite a bit, much like all the other alternators in other vehicles I have. That's not based on my opinion, by the way, but knowledge of basic electrics and experience.

    With the charging system working correctly, yes, that's low.

    Flu-419 parts

    I tend to buy from whoever has the stuff for a good price. Which can be numerous places, including eBay.

    Where is it? What does it look like? There's something leaking a bit in that general area on mine, but I haven't tried finding the source.

    I left the backhoe in place and folded up when messing with my outrigger valve. Not many hoses in the way, really. Then again, I never removed the valve itself, just the plug at the bottom, so I could pull the guts out and clean things up. Glad you got yours fixed, too. Having the outrigger not...

    Welcome, ODB. I think you're doing the right thing reading through this thread. There's lots of good info in it (and then there are my posts, but hey, no thread is perfect).

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    You may want to clean off the hub surface that the spacers rest against. And that doesn't look like much thread engagement on the bolts holding it on. Either way, don't forget to retorque the spacers after a little driving.

    FLU419 front loader hydraulic pump issues.

    Wouldn't the pressure relief be on the actual valve, behind the cab?

    Swing Pedal Adjustments - Anyone done this?

    Adjusting the linkages is easy, once the cover is out of the way. I cut a slot in mine to get it past that large bracket without having to take everything apart. For the stabilizers, I fixed my inoperative one (left side) by pulling the plug at the bottom off and removing what turned out to be...

    I thought they're supposed to be 20 feet. Made a pair of 20' extension hoses since what's on the reel isn't always quite enough.

    FLU419 front loader hydraulic pump issues.

    Most likely the pump didn't fail, but what you heard was the belt squealing. And the front hydraulics are a little weak on a good day.

    FLU419 front loader hydraulic pump issues.

    I may have missed it, but why is the pump suspected to be bad in the first place? A slipping belt won't kill it, just make it not work right. Not the greatest comparison, but I wouldn't be concerned with wheel bearings or axle seals if getting a flat tire. I'd just fix the tire.

    FLU419 front loader hydraulic pump issues.

    Wouldn't it be worth trying to put a correct belt on the pump you already have?

    FLU419 front loader hydraulic pump issues.

    If you're hell bent on not using the stock pump, you could run a 12-Volt pump instead. Off of one battery, of course. But don't you think that these stock pumps can take a little heat? After all, some SEEs were deployed and used in much hotter weather than even Phoenix has to offer this week. I...
