    All you need to do is go to page 1 of this thread, and as peakbagger pointed out, take notes. As I recall, there are also photos of the shifter bushing procedure. During the breaks in the lengthy reading, I would start with checking and/or replacing all the fluids, and lubing everything. Once...

    It'd be very easy to beef any of them up with some extra material welded in at the appropriate spots, should you decide it's needed. My palletforks.com version is still doing fine, by the way.

    Using my SEE for real work

    Guess I shouldn't be concerned with the flow restrictions of the 20' extension hoses I made, or the extra quick disconnects, if 3/8" is enough.

    Using my SEE for real work

    Well, there's your problem. That pre-existing concrete is much harder to work with than regular existing concrete. Best, of course, is concrete that doesn't exist. That you can easily drill with almost anything.

    Someone with an electric car that had four miles worth of charge left?

    You can't stop us now. Mid state, just shy of the CO border.

    Where's the "double like" button when I need it?? Also, it's impressive that out of 128 made, there are four HMMHs in NM that I know of.

    Flu 419 problems. Clutch starter switch and boom not holding position.

    Damn! That had to be someone really strong. I still remember fighting with mine, and that was using a tractor to lift it. Anyway, very sorry to hear about yours. The world sure isn't what it used to be.

    how many yards can a SEE FLU 419 move in a day?

    Better yet, use something else to tow the dump trailer with. That'll speed things up quite a bit.

    how many yards can a SEE FLU 419 move in a day?

    Looking for other stuff, today I came across that the loader is supposedly good for 3/4 yards.

    The potential downside to using ball valves is that they're more susceptible to breaking off. Even the small ones I use hang down by over an inch. But I don't drive through brush, and if I did I'd put a 90 on them. Besides, I may have to hoof it for a 1/4 mile, worst case, and grab a new...

    All three drain valves are leaking slightly. I've ordered replacements from EI. Generally you can just clean out the ones you have to stop the leakage. Or replace them with affordable ball valves.

    I can't tell if it does or not from that photo, since the loader is blocking the view of it.

    All of mine has the grille, and I don't think I've ever seen one without. Not that they serve much of a purpose.

    how many yards can a SEE FLU 419 move in a day?

    I hope it would pay enough to replace the worn out SEE once the job is completed. But I'd like to observe for a while...especially if attempting to pull a loaded dump trailer with the bucket. Unless it's dinky trailer.

    See loader bucket

    Thanks, I saw that. But for that kind of money I'd probably make my own. Besides, I'm now leaning towards selling the 4/94. I'm on a cleaning spree, time will tell.

    Why not soak it all in N-terpinal or one of the more commonly available rust removers?

    Hmm, this reminds me. I bought two seats a couple of years ago (couldn't resist at $35 a piece), but haven't installed them yet. Thanks for the inspiration, guys.

    Flu419 loader to fit a u500

    Here's how it looks on my 4/94. As you can see, the mounts for the loader are farther out than the little triangles, and a lot stouter.

    Flu419 loader to fit a u500

    Another "Ouch!" But I know I can make them for much less. Especially now that I have the measurements, thanks to you.
