    FLU419 SEE HMMH HME Owners group

    I liked my 3/4-inch version enough to also buy a 1-inch. The 3/4 was NOS and quite affordable, but the 1-incher was bought used. Either one is great, but I wouldn't use the heavy and cumbersome 1-inch if the 3/4 would do the job. Either way, your 40 gallon tank is likely not the issue. A good...

    FLU419 SEE HMMH HME Owners group

    I would leave them dry, as intended. Whatever you put on there is likely to attract dirt, and it's doubtful that you'll have to remove those pins again anyway. If anything, machine them down a few thousands in diameter if they're a tight press fit. Slop doesn't matter in that application. On...

    FLU419 SEE HMMH HME Owners group

    Once you get one of them out it's easy enough to drive the other one out with a drift. Just don't use a large one and risk mushrooming the inside, too. And the outrigger must obviously be well supported for the hammer blows to be effective. Worst case, start drilling through the remains and...

    FLU419 SEE HMMH HME Owners group

    I fought a pin on the backhoe bucket much like your situation. I think the trials and tribulations were documented in the owner's thread. Anyway, I never resorted to heating anything, but did apply 50/50 ATF and acetone over a few days. Also, to avoid mushrooming the pin, and to create a way to...

    FLU419 SEE HMMH HME Owners group

    Now that I know how to do it, after a fair amount of experimentation, it's quite easy. Basically, remove the spiral snap ring at the top and drive the rod out of the plate. Next I'd remove the hose from the bottom, which is relatively easily accessible at any time during the procedure. Next I...

    Alright, I did finally succeed in removing the 3-stage cylinder. While it's in the hospital getting resealed I'll tackle that uncooperative outrigger again.

    FLU419 SEE HMMH HME Owners group

    Anyone here that has (successfully) removed the 3-stage cylinder from an HMMH's forklift? That thing is fighting me. Makes trying to figure out why a SEE's outrigger won't retract seem easy in comparison.

    FLU 419 help!

    In your case, no. But they should, since as you can see in the little junction box, they're wired in paralell.

    Never did try if a 419 implement would fit, but what was on my MB 4-94 sure looked the same. Think I even measured a couple of distances just to see if they were the same. Haven't removed a backhoe yet, but as I recall, the rear mounts also looked a lot like a 419's. Makes sense since this...

    Should be standard Stanley stuff. If the jackhammer is also a Stanley, which I don't remember.

    Battery switch question

    That's because you didn't turn the ignition off first, like you're supposed to. After shutting the engine off, obviously. By any chance, did you turn the master switch off with the engine running?

    Battery switch question

    Wish I had that problem, instead of the opposite. One of mine doesn't want to complete the circuit like it should. Anyway, spray a penetrant of your choice (as long as it isn't WD-40) down the hole and see if it frees things up.

    I don't know the model numbers off the top of my head, but the forklift for an HMMH uses the same mounts, as does the dozer blade for an HME. And I would imagine that there are many other implements that also fit, since the MB 4-94 I recently sold had the same style mount, in addition to the DIN...

    Well, I ran a low flow skid steer snow blower that way for a few winters. Keeping it at 1,800 to 2,000 rpm to make the 'blower run efficiently understandably made the fans come on, though. That has only happened once or twice while using the backhoe. Should be easy enough to add capacity to the...

    Not hydraulic related per se, but the 419 can accommodate a dozer blade or a forklift in the front, not only a loader. For the rear, instead of the common backhoe, also a crane or trencher. But the size and shape of the toolboxes won't allow things to to be completely interchangeable between...

    FLU 419 help!

    For electrical I use various products, including but not limited to, CRC stuff. When a penetrant is needed, nothing seems to beat 50/50 aceton and ATF.

    FLU 419 help!

    After reading the TMs, and maybe the owners thread (where all these things have been addressed), you should consider running over your can of WD-40 and get something that works. The world of Unimogs, and especially the FLUs, is not a Better Homes and Gardens environment.

    Complete 936 newbie

    Thanks, guys, this is great info. I really appreciate it. Ironically, I had already thought about making the front axle not automatically lock in, since I prefer 2Low on most things. Would've never guessed it'd help things. Maybe the hardest thing for me to learn will be running the engine at...

    Complete 936 newbie

    Thanks! It would've never occurred to me not to back up in Low. Most of my stay-at-home vehicles are always in Low. Ideally 2WD Low. By rear PTO I guess you mean the winch, and that the reasoning is to avoid creating heat. I'm a low rpm person, so I'll have to keep that in mind.
