    Flu419 loader to fit a u500

    Ouch! That's about four times more than it costs to do it yourself. Or maybe about the same cost if you need to buy a good MIG welder, too, which is reusable.

    Flu419 loader to fit a u500

    It did make sense...except, I don't know if the claw setup is strong enough for loader use. On my 4/94 the two systems are completely separate, bolted on to the same frame obviously.

    Flu419 loader to fit a u500

    Those are not what you need to mount a SEE loader, if I understand this even halfway correctly. What you need has two large pins at the top and two blocks with holes for bolts at the bottom.

    Flu419 loader to fit a u500

    I haven't measured, or tried anything yet, but it sure looks like what's on the front of my "new" MB4/94 has the FLU style mounts bolted on there in addition to the plate with the triangles. For the quick tach plate conversion I used a setup from palletforks.com.

    If you find two of them, please let me know. I could use a partial loader.

    Unimog Tires 20" rims. 12.5 r20

    I wouldn't spend any time or money on one more of those. But if you insist, I do have a few left over.

    See loader bucket

    I recently got an MB4/94 with crawler gears. They're wonderful. Even being in only the working gear range is much better than the SEE's gearing. If the SEE went that much slower, the snow blower would work a lot better. I should start looking for those claws, too, if I end up mounting the snow...

    Unless the backhoe is being used , there should be no reason to latch it. Gravity will be more than enough to keep it there. Of course, I forget if using it was part of the plan.

    I would've gutted all the front axle stuff, and they probably did. Tire speed ratings? That's for sissies. If you're still worried, use tight snow chains to keep the tread attached to the carcass.

    Yes, please do. I don't need the bucket itself, but most of the loader assembly.

    EI is listing a SEE wiring harness

    Yeah, there are a few of you that I can see not mind having to pay that. Again, I lucked out.

    EI is listing a SEE wiring harness

    Ouch, $700. I am so grateful for having been able to avoid rodent damage, my cats, and General Hood's schematics.

    Anyone Change out a master disconnect switch yet?

    Hate to tell you, but that new switch is still in its box...somewhere. On the positive side, as I recall that switch can be replaced without having to raise the cab, according to some thread here.

    Air leak in 4wheel/differential lock switch

    If I remember correctly, I had one that misbehaved. Sprayed some lube down there and it has worked since. That's not consistent with my luck, by the way.

    You should be able to either "tow" the backhoe backwards, or the FLU forwards.

    FLU419 SEE HMMH HME Owners group

    Yeah, it sure looks new. Interesting that it never even got painted. Now the enemy can see you drilling away...as if they couldn't hear it.

    Nice! I removed all my stuff almost instantly. It's a lot of extra weight. Now there's room for chains, straps, various tools, and some fluid.

    Ouch. I could hear that with the speakers disconnected. But yes, the principle is correct.

    That could be because you're running high rpms. Once I learned to do the digging at 1,100 to 1,500 (unless full force is necessary), operation in general got much smoother. As mentioned, when stowing it I like to run 800, maybe 1,000 tops. My goal these days is an inaudible latching, and four...
