I think the video is proof that buying a SEE to get an affordable low mileage Unimog is not necessarily the way to go. When Fred asked what I thought would be a fair price for that SEE, I thought he wanted a SEE. When I realized that he'd strip it of the useful bits, I offered to buy the...

Merry Christmas to you, too, FarmMOG!

I think the restrictor is by or on the valves by the lever. Never did look for it while having the cover off to fix the switches. Having one weak loader, I know why you'd like to fix that issue. Mine's probably better than yours, but it's not good. Big time delay in oil pressure showing, yes...

I think I've seen one. Hopefully I saved it in some file, on some stick. Was thinking about finding the restrictor in the backhoe deploy circuit again this morning, and a schematic would be helpful for that. Not that that particular circuit could be very extensive.

Ron, if that's the typical 21x1.5 thread you should be able to get an adapter to NPT, then go from there.

Looks nice. I'd definitely consider those once I win the lottery. As far as road manners go, ag tires usually only have one manner on pavement: wear.

Don't take my word for it, but what I did was remove the level plug, and if nothing came out I added some sort of 80W/90 I had handy through the filler plug until it came out at the level plug. Probably should pull the drain plugs and start fresh at some point.

FarmMOG, you do know that those LEDs Northern sells ca be had at Amazon for less than half the price, right? Last time I bought a few they were about $8 a piece. Just make sure you get the 24, 48, or ideally 72 Volt, versions. Also, they come in 30 and 60 degree models. I would also like to...

FINALLY got the ditch done that the Summer SEE got stuck in. It took forever, between waiting for it to for it to dry out, getting stuck when it wasn't, and now because the ground is frozen, making it tricky to not pull large clumps up along the edges. It was easily the most time consuming 700...

Glad you took it off, before it came off. The way the pintle is attached, I'm almost surprised they don't fall off by themselves, without towing anything.

That light bar could come in handy. I've been meaning to put two 30-degree work lights up there, to complement the 60-degree ones that live where the stock lights were. And speaking of visibility, you should be glad that you don't have a spare.

The storage capacity of a Suburban can be good and bad. Someone may now buy mine (basically for the price of its Dynatrac Dana 60 rear axle) and if that happens I'll need to find space for quite a few parts.

Try CPO Outlets. Usually cheaper, especially if refurbished (which I usually get) and/or on sale. Inspired by earlier posts, finally got off my butt and ordered a 3/8 drive Milwaukee ratchet for an upcoming project. It was $61, I think, delivered. That was for a bare tool and all I needed...

As I recall, I used flat stock to make that bracket, which is angled down (forward) then welded 45-degree fittings to it, to make the hoses comfortable and have the QDs facing straight forward. Not that I've tried it with the SEE yet, but have set maybe a 1/4-mile of fence posts with the...

Sorry, can't help you with that one. Heck, I haven't even tried my SEE tools yet. But what I did learn from messing with the impacts (also Stanley) is that the web site has lots of good info, and that parts are readily available.

That first one looks a lot like the one I had on the tractor for a while, when needing four remotes for one implement. Anyway, I wouldn't pay extra (or bother even if the price was the same) for a 24 Volt version. I run the 12 Volt snow blower controls off of one battery, and it works fine. Come...

Okay, here you go. Had to use the tractor today, and even remembered to take photos. The valve's mounted to the floor, upside down if you will (sorry for the dirt, inside and out, but this one's been worked hard for a while now). Anyway, that's how I picture the valve mounted, except to the...

FarmMog, I forgot to take a photo of the valve setup in the tractor today. I think the valve was around $150, and then about as much in hoses and fittings. To me the real task would be to figure out the best places to tap into the SEE's system.

At one point I did research it, and there was a twin stick setup available. Buying used seemed much more feasible, price wise. Maybe I should continue that quest...except no matter what, I'll still have one backhoe with the Case levers. Unless I switch both over. That'd be the smart thing to do...

Welcome, Pinsandpitons. Even if you prefer switches over levers. And I should admit (just won't do it publicly) that there can be such a thing as too many levers. I have yet to master curling the bucket out while raising the boom and pulling the dipper in on the backhoe when digging or cleaning...
