Another thought. Over the years I have used that extra circuit twice on the HMMH. In other words, do you really need it? Same with the locking front suspension, come to think of it. An interesting novelty that I forgot all about.

I had a similar need for my tractor a few years ago. Needed hydraulics for angling a snow plow. Looked at adding a ("third function" I think they called them) switch setup to the joy stick, but decided on installing a separate valve with a lever instead. Either way, the tractor can now angle the...

It'd be quicker and easier to add an electrically operated splitter valve to the SEE, wouldn't it? Then you'd have the same functions on it as on the HMMH.

Okay, the front mount sure looks like a FLU mount to me, but as I mentioned, I haven't measured or tried yet. The rear one may very well not fit a FLU implement, as I recall pins being involved. Haven't removed a rear implement yet. Either way, this MB 4/94 originally came equipped with a loader...

Well, I can't say for sure that things would fit on the MB 4/94 since I've never tried. But the mounts sure look the same. I can take photos later today and let you guys guess.

No, I put the blade on one of the SEEs, since it wasn't doing any good on the HME sitting in the garage. But I could've put it on the HMMH if I wanted to. As far as I know, the loader, forklift, and blade are all interchangeable. Same mounts. The only difference being that the forklift...

That combination is only two bolts away...if you find a Schmidt dozer blade. Which I did, once getting the HME. But I'll be switching things around this spring, as having the blade on the "main backhoe" is far from ideal for me. It's not that I use the bucket per se, but it is most helpful when...

I have thought about selling my spare HMMH, but now that the forklift cylinder on the one I use has sprung a leak I'm not so sure. Either way, I don't know how I got along without a crane.

You can still shift, but the splitter won't work. Brakes will lose power assist, and 4WD and diff locks won't work. I know it says not to drive before the air system is at pressure or damage can/will result, but I have yet to figure out what that damage could be.

Yes, I see no reason why you couldn't do that. The other way around is a bit different since the SEE doesn't have the button on the curl lever to operate the rotation of the forklift. Also, be prepared for a lot of front heaviness, as the crane doesn't weigh as much as the backhoe.

Especially if it hasn't been used for a while, be sure to clean off the rods on all hydraulic cylinders before trying to operate the loader or backhoe. I liked buying the ones listed as non-runners as the seals were still intact, and it was usually easy to get them started. Also, it sounds like...

Yeah, you'll find photos in the long thread. It was probably about four years ago, and they where a bit spread out as I recall since it involved both the quick tach and putting a plate on the bucket. I'm overdue for a re-read but won't get to it for a while.

Now you know why I converted. And to hook up the snow blower wasn't the only reason for the quick tach.

Since you're already on this thread, like Speedwoble suggested, just go back one page.

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.

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.

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?
