New doesn't equal good, unfortunately. If you open one bleeder at a time a little, you'll have plenty of time to keep an eye on the level in the reservoir. You know you're done when the brakes work perfectly (sorry, couldn't resist, Ron).

If you go back about two years in the main (owner's) thread, or maybe it's almost three by now, there are scattered posts showing how I did my quick tach conversion on the Winter SEE.

Yep, gravity is our friend. I have a car with a notoriously hard to bleed clutch, and found that if I just add fluid and left it alone for a day or two, the clutch was fine. rtrask, it could be worth trying a simple gravity bleed; leave a bleeder open for a while without touching anything. Of...

I do not want the air out of a FLU going into my tires. Not unless I run it through a good oil/water separator first.

Yep. That was the main reason I went with the wider wheels and tires on the Summer SEE. With the stock setup, cleaning out a ditch almost resulted in three ditches - two of them from the skinny tires.

I'm glad to see that you wrote "nearly".

There are at least 12 more out there...somewhere.

Hey, I'd like to see that thing in action myself, but I'm not about to try walking backwards in front of a driverless snow blower. Even if I had a video camera.

We also got some snow to play with this winter, so the SEEs got to work.

I've had good luck with the Super Swampers on the Winter SEE, and the Pit Bull Rockers on the Summer SEE work really well.

Appreciate it, Ron. I'd like to finally meet you, but generally I don't stop for food on trips. Actually, the only thing I stop for on trips shorter than 1,000 to 1,500 miles is fuel. But I'll make an exception to meet up with you. I'll be going to Colorado Springs to grab a car, so the ideal...

Thanks for the invite, Joshua. I went past your place about six months ago, coming back from Provo, and used to go to Richfield somewhat frequently, but now there's nothing on the horizon for going your way. I'll be in rtrask's neck of the woods in about a month to pick up a car, and most...

Welcome, Joshua. We're practically neighbors, probably less than 450 miles apart.

Haven't got around to it yet, but some day I'll cut a hole next to the pintle hook and inset a piece of receiver tube. It'll obviously be a bit offset, but that's better than having it low and dragging in the dirt when the backhoe is deployed.

As I recall, they're normal 5/20W bulbs with bayonet, as in most earlier vehicles. Except 24 Volt, of course.

I wear ear protection when running the snowblower. 2,200 rpm and the 'blower makes for a lot of noise. The back up alarm isn't a problem for me as it's extremely rare that I put the dash switches "in the wrong position", making it work. I wouldn't mind having the low air pressure alarm hooked...

That should be as simple as using the wire for the alarm to trigger a relay for the lights. In the process, it'd be the perfect opportunity to "forget" to hook that miserable alarm up afterwards.

I knew you wood come up with some good ideas.

Yeah, I still think it could be air shifter related. If it were me, I'd make it work in low range and leave it there. I never mess with that splitter anyway. Of course, I don't usually drive the FLUs on the road.

If shopping for a bead seater, avoid the temptation to get a cheap one, with a ball valve. There has been several instances when people have been unable to seat tricky beads...until we used my Astra. A ball valve type just won't release the air fast enough to be useful in many cases.
