I figured you did, since you probably know the system better than anybody here. Of course, that's largely because you've had the worst luck with yours, I suppose.

Well, to use the glad hands to put air into the system you have to use the inlet (front) ones. Sounds like you may have tried the rear ones.

Since I reached the point where I could work the FLUs more than work on them, I haven't kept up with the threads like I should. But if Johan gets that loader off (and lives to tell about it), then sells it to me, I could hopefully document whatever modifications it needs to accommodate the snow...

You can do it, Johan. Just keep in mind that the lift should be from the vehicle end of the loader, not closer to the bucket. Those lower mounts aren't vertical, and even if they were, they'd fight back. I probably used a strap on the uppermost tubing, not wanting to have anything in the...

That looks like fun, peakbagger. Well, the part where you used the backhoe. The rest makes me appreciate my trailers that much more.

Wish I remembered how and with what I lifted mine. May have used the trailer jack mount I incorporated into the stand, or it could've been with the crane. Either way, once the very stubborn bolts came off, the rest was easy.

Hey, there's lots of open spaces by the backhoe, and for a front valve I would probably mount it on the floor.

I did on my tractor, using a Surplus Center valve, but haven't had a need for one on the SEE yet. Given the very cramped space available on the tractor, putting one on a SEE has to be easier.

Many seem to be twice as expensive as they should be, probably often because they have nice paint. But it largely depends on what you'll be using it for and how handy/patient you are.

Thanks, Migginsbros! That was a great find. Many of the specs are way off, but still.

There probably is, but it's not me. Been years since I had a stick shift apart. I'll have to think about that one.

You may have lucked out here, Johan!

That is one brave hot shot, joeblack! I haven't tried putting a SEE on my tandem axle with duals yet, a gooseneck with 10K axles. Some 8,500 lbs. of trailer and 16,000 worth of SEE alone puts me within 500 lbs. of the trailer's GVWR.

That sounds great. No matter which lane he favors, it couldn't be that far from going by me.

Appreciate that, Johan. The bummer is the long drive, or high cost of shipping. Unless you happen to have contacts.

Only five, since I sold what should've been a parts car. It was way too nice, just like my first attempt at buying a parts car. What I really could use is a loader, or partial loader, and since yours is already off, would you mind mailing it to me?

So could I, but patrol is too dang far away.

C'mon, patrol, give it another chance.

Nice! That's what I need to get around to do, too.

Ah, I'm lazy and just reach in over the tire. Had I needed to remove the hood every time, I would've given up and sold the SEE. I also gave up on bleeding at the filters, except in the most demanding cases, and just used the primer pump. Keep in mind that I had to go through this every 5 to 15...
