    FLU419 SEE HMMH HME Owners group

    I've got the FLU cough cough.... gee I bet I am the first to come up with that one. I will give a full run down later, but the starter fired it up twice with no problem. The third time was not the charm though. I just spins with out engaging the fly wheel. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using...

    I want a sign like that. - I second FLU Farm's need for such a sign. It could prevent his SO from ever detecting new purchases. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using Tapatalk

    The SEE that is "allegedly" mine is sitting on a trailer some where between here and Hook TX. The diver is treating it as a partial load.It should get here Tuesday or Wednesday depending on when he gets a full load. I "won" the auction on May 17th, so it is trying even my patience at this point...

    One could legitimately question my wisdom on "clicking here to buy" on my FLU, (or any of them for that matter) but what fun is that? Sometimes it takes a fool to get anything done. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using Tapatalk

    Thanks for catching that Speedwoble. I was just going by LO 3-2420-224-12 that shows the same GO-80/90 for the transmission, front and rear differentials and the front and rear axle hub drives. Is this the article you referred to...

    I priced NAPA $450 for a 55 gallon drum, with a 10% discount, that would be $405. Petroleum Service Company sells Coastal AW-32 Premium for 290, Bluesky Pureblu for 297, Sunoco for 310. They offer flat rate shipping for $95 for up to 2000 lbs. I only need 1 drum at most. But at 290 that's...

    Supplies List Still no FLU, I talked to the shipper, and the army yard boss is not going available until next week. Either that or the shipper is feeding me bull, but it all amounts to it will get here next week. So while I am waiting I have been gathering supplies. If one of you kind souls...

    That was directed at me :D I don't know if I did enough of my home work, or not (I suspect not). I have been looking the SEE, and other wheeled front end loader / backhoes for about 4 months, and ultimately came to the same conclusion as you did that for the price it was likely my best option...

    Beat me over the head enough times with the same information, and eventually it will get through. I will follow your and peakbagger's advice. I will try to get the shipper to roll it off the trailer rather than drive it. It is sound advice, and I know in my heart it is the right thing to do. The...

    After looking through several inspection reports there's no doubt that they are a little careless with the fork lift, and my exhaust pipe shows a mild example. Good advice on asking the driver to pick up stuff on the ground around the SEE. None of the pictures show the engine hatch cover on my...

    I was surprised at the generals post too, because the GP web page says under pickup terms "No Loading Dock, Ramps, or Forklift Available: Only RGN or trailers with ramps can be used to pick up this item at this location. Seller will not allow item to be loaded on a step-deck or flatbed trailer...

    Perfect timing, I was just putting together a NAPA order, and have been trying to sort out the belts based on NSN number and compatible part numbers. 2 of these are about 7mm longer, and all are solid rather than notched. All of them are currently availabe at my local NAPA so I am going with...

    Well it is in the Texarkana region, at the time of the sale it was at Hooks Texas, but the shipper said that it could be at any of the three locations in the area, New Boston, Hooks, and Texarkana.

    GP has released the my FLU419 to be shipped. I was out of town at the time I won the auction, and that meant I had only 1 day to wire the payment without paying a late payment penalty. I went to the bank Monday and told them it had to go out on Monday, and was told there was no problem. Sure...

    Welcome to SteelSoldiers. You are way ahead of me. I will be taking delivery of mine sometime next week. Yours looks really nice. Mine is running, but if it takes me less than a year to get all it's issues sorted out I will be pleased. The people on this forum have been very helpful and there...

    Thanks FLU farm, I would love for you to get a peek at it. It will be in the northern part of the San Luis Valley, so depending on where in the true Mid West you are it might not be too big of a jaunt to make a connection. It is funny I've always thought of everything East of the Mississippi as...
