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.

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

On top of the cooler.

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.

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?

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...

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.

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.

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...

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.

Alright, so I recently bought an M936A1 and have been trying to read up on what makes those things tick. It'll primarily be used to move a few things around, such as containers, and also to get my FLU 419s unstuck as needed. It wouldn't surprise me if I get volunteered to get other people's...

It's the typical Case 580 over-center design, so the boom can't reach the lock without reversing the flow right before it runs out of travel. And it's not an rpm issue. I prefer locking it at idle. Less noise, less stress on the parts involved.

Ether smells great, I think, but using it for bead seating can be an acquired taste. When shopping for a bead blaster, avoid the ones with a normal ball valve. The good ones have a "trigger button" which releases all the air now.

You need a good bead blaster...or starting fluid. With the tire off the ground, of course.

I don't think I tried to attach a photo. Anyway, did buy one this morning, and it'll hopefully be here in a couple of weeks. It'll be interesting to see what kind of trouble I can get into with a vehicle that weighs nearly 40,000 lbs.

Okay, so I sold a FLU or two, and an M1031, but it looks like I'm getting an M936 to get the other stuff unstuck with.
