    FLU419 SEE HMMH HME Owners group

    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.

    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.
