Yeah, those are better than nothing. They (I?) are nowhere near precise enough for what I like to achieve, though. In an ideal world I could pick up dirt and leave no more than a 1/4-inch, without disturbing the grass. Every year I get a little better with the tractor, and snow removal is good...

It was extremely tempting to make a joke about your age and removable teeth here, but out of respect for the elderly, I won't.

Being that I tend to use 2WD in anything I drive until 4WD becomes a near necessity, that's how I've always done it with the SEE. Not that much dirt has been moved or scooped up with it since it's much more of a hand full than doing the same task with the tractor. One lever instead of two, hydro...

Several times? There's been times when I stopped counting pump strokes at 100. Which inspired me to plumb in an electric pump, and later why I pressurize the tank. You may have a simple air leak at the tank or strainer at this point, that's all it takes to require lots of pumping. Often with no...

There could be another reason for a non-starter. I just remembered unscrewing the wingnut on the air cleaner, for whatever reason, while the engine was running. That lid practically had to be pried off because of the negative pressure inside. Made me wonder if that is how it's supposed to be, or...

You really are planning on rolling that one, aren't you?

Yeah, I've never seen anything quite like it on a vehicle,with that kind of coloration. And it's one of half a dozen such spots on that car. If you recall me putting up a shade roof by the garage last year, this photo is of the post that faces southwest, which is where the rain usually comes...

Remember when we discussed rust and low oxygen levels on another thread, Ahab? It may indeed only be a matter of time, but this car had a smaller lack of paint in this spot when I bought it locally in 2010. It has been parked outside ever since, and is driven when there's salt and crap on the...

While I've never used it on the SEE, I have an adapter from quick attach to 3-point. Of course, it requires a quick attach conversion on the SEE's loader in the first place. With the tractors I've used it a few times to pull snow away with a box blade, and to move implements around with, which...

Except for the window glass, tires, and hoses, it probably morphed into iron oxide. It is Hawaii after all.

Nathan, I don't know why it wouldn't fit. But you won't get the same amount of lift out of it because of the increased weight. More importantly, it may not last as long if the springs aren't made of quality material.

Nathan, you may be able to simplify things by not looking for M1009 suspension, but a K-5 with the 6.2 diesel instead. It's fully understandable that suspension companies haven't recognized the M1009, I think. The diesel K-5 wasn't overly common, so you may want to include the 6.2 Suburban in...

That'll be one much photographed undercarriage should you end up on your side, cucvrus.

I'm not going to worry about the additive. That's after having run without it in all the clutch type diffs over the years with no problems, front and rear, and no ill effects that I know of.

Haven't had to look into what makes the fuel shut-off tick, either, but if it's stuck in "off" for some reason...

Good. Now all you need to do is to spend some quality time checking those fuel lines and connections, again. By the way, if hitting the starter button with your right hand, you can spray the ether into the snorkel intake with your left hand. With a little practice you can keep it running fairly...

Nick, I've done those same things, with the same result, a few times now. What I haven't done is replace the injector pumps. So far it's been air leaks and dirt that kept the engines from starting, or running right. I'm not saying that your pump is good, but rather that there's a very good...

I have spent my fair share of time there. Just wish my brain cell could retain more of all the good info.

That wouldn't bother the local LTL shipping company. They'd simply fold that rod in half to make it fit. Unfortunately, here UPS has started handling freight in a similar fashion. Had to spend quality time with the hammer and dolly to make a bolt assortment bin usable last week.

At that price it's definitely in the not-worth-making-your-own category.
