Maybe. You have me beat by some 500 feet.

You may not need the alky system. I've been running without one on the Summer SEE ever since I "borrowed" the parts to put on the Winter SEE. Not that it's been used all that much in below freezing temps, but still. I think peakbagger has the air dryer setup figured out. Try searching for "air...

My HMMH has started doing that, on and off. I strongly suspect that the regulator is dirty. It's not an obstruction downstream, that I checked for. Normally there shouldn't be any air escaping until pressure is built up in the system, but as mentioned, sometimes that unloader valve just "puffs"...

I'd think more towing related, especially since that "handle" would lend itself well to holding safety chains. While I've considered making something that'd fit an upside down 3-point, using the locks and that tab, I have yet to think of any use for it. Not being able to adjust the height...

Not sure what it's supposed to be for, but I bought large shackles a while back that will go on there for towing/extraction purposes. Still haven't figured out the best way to enlarge the inside of the 1.8-inch shackle opening to 2-plus inches, though.

As alpine44 points out, sometimes it may be worth trying to leave things alone for a while. I had both outrigger cylinders dripping quite a bit after a bit of a mud bath, and even while in the retracted position. But I never did get around to replacing the seals. Several months later, when...

If I get around to replacing mine with three separate valves, you can have mine. If you can wait that long...it's been on the list for a few years.

Hey, I even sold a SEE a while back, so I'm down to five FLUs. Anyway, the HMMH I'm using is far from museum quality (first hint) and while it lives under a roof of sorts, it's not garaged (second hint).

Notice that I've written "I can't believe I ever got by without A ​crane." So far I have yet to use the spare one.

Okay, I never thought I'd sell it, but make me an offer I can't refuse and you can have a whole HMMH, in darn near museum quality. I could use the garage space.

Now that I think about it, since removing and reinstalling the bucket isn't that fun, maybe build something that can be pinned in using the bracket for the ripper? And I can relate to wanting a winch, too. Except I'd want it on the crane. Making a winch mount at the base looks doable, but I'm...

You could do a lot of the same things with a SEE's backhoe, just not with the same precision (with me operating it anyway) or reach. Making a "Skyhook", like what I did with a Quick-Tach plate, but to pin in place of the bucket, would give you the reach. As I recall, at least one of my levers...

Not that I've had the pleasure to use the FLUs much lately, but today the HMMH came in very handy, again. Set some posts for the carport that the FLUs will live in. Only fair that it participates in the building of its future house, I think. Oh, and tomorrow the Summer SEE will get used to...

Why do you have the engine running when trying to listen for leaks?? If the leak(s) is so severe that it stops almost simultaneously with the engine, try feeding the system from an external source. Oops. My reply was meant for post 3890.

I hope you have checked the notoriously bad/leaking drain valves, FarmMOG. I can see how high rpm could make one of them even less reliable than normal. And as Pinsandpitons asked, even small air leaks are usually easily found by ear.

I bought the correct male plugs on eBay or Amazon (can't remember which now) to avoid having two connections, but for one application it was easier to go with the adapter that Speedwoble mentioned. Also either an eBay or Amazon purchase.

Because of what's hopefully the most inept truck driver still holding a CDL, it went from thisto the ground, to this. I really don't know how I managed without a crane.

If you incorporate an electric fuel pump, mount it as low as possible. They are meant to push fuel.

Not that one turn on the idle screws is necessarily all that much on regular carbs, but as I recall, if they truly don't have any effect it's probably a vacuum leak. Having to run the choke on a warm engine would also indicate it's running lean. On the other hand, sooty plugs would indicate an...

If I'm thinking of the same one, I use that 24-Volt outlet for the strobe lights mounted on the SEE and the HMMH.
