Ron, we don't know about your SEE yet, but General Hood is definitely in a glass house situation here, calling my fine collection "debris". At the very least it should be "mostly functional debris".

Ah, I forgot about those. But now that I have a SEE with a tweaked rear toolbox... Guess that means that the M1008 gets the old one, not a new one. Either way, I'm looking forward to the delivery in person. You may not need a trailer to bring it all (starters, tool boxes, plus whatever I forgot)...

I may have some photo that shows the potential problem, but I'd have to dig around for it. For now, picture a modified Japanese car. Those guys really take the wide wheel/narrow tire concept to the limit. Low riders have nothing on them. Even the 12.2R20 Michelins are really too narrow for the...

She did buy me a T-shirt that reads "Only one more, I promise" on the front, crossed fingers on the back. But that was a while back. I think that hiding it in plain sight worked.

The main drawback with skinny tires on a wide wheel on something that goes off the pavement is when dirt gets forced in to the bead. That can be accomplished by crossing a ditch diagonally, or driving along in a crevasse, like I did. After that you'll have a slow (if you're lucky) leak and will...

No, that I have not. I figured that if the hole starts bugging me, I'll either put a larger diameter boot on the shifter, or make a cover plate of some sort. And I'm still in denial over having actually seen a non-eaten, non-ripped seal for the loader levers. But now you got me thinking. Since...

Okay, okay, I'll stop whining about it being hot here. That it didn't get into the 40s last night was bad, I thought. By the way, at this point my girlfriend has walked by the "new" SEE at least six times...within two feet of it. It's not exactly hidden, but parked parallel with the driveway...

Unfortunately, there's no way I can look through a few thousand proof sheets (negatives for B&W photos) or about the same number of color slides. Yes, lots and lots of photos from the 80s and 90s. I don't even remember what shops those broken cases were in. And yes, it obviously takes something...

Are you hoping that someone will post that they don't help strengthen anything, or that they can make things worse? I'm hesitant to write this, for obvious reasons. but I have one 208 (and have had a few) with the rod. I have also seen split cases as a result of the chain wadding up. Sorry.

Two months, huh? I'm, guessing a couple three weeks less. But with an ever increasing amount of vehicles, they are harder to keep track of so you might be right. And a dilemma it is. I don't have time to fix this one up to the standards I'd like a working or sellable machine to be at. Heck, it...

Not a single post refers to it as "useless". The debate seems to be about how useful it is, and for what. Okay, so here's one theory for why that rod exists. On civilian vehicles it serves to keep the big chunks from ending up on the highway when the chain in the 208 breaks the case in half...

General, I'm suspecting that you may have owned this one in a former life. The paint is really nice.

Does that mean that you have the switch, but no key for it? If so, don't fake it like I did, first with a twig and later a key for the same type of switch but not the correct one. That's probably why the switch doesn't seem to work quite right now.

Please. You shouldn't have posted that, Ken! Now there's two of us for them to hate.

I thought mine, in the "new" SEE, was toast earlier today. It wouldn't turn. Until I noticed that it turned counterclockwise just fine. Yep, it was already on.

GP is letting them age, like good wine.

I think that even HF's lowest rated steel jack stands would work. A 404 doesn't weight that much. For a floor jack, it has to be rated at least at what your corner weight is, so again, almost any of them should do the job. And the reach can be achieved with 4x4 and or 6x6s.

It's a running....parts car. The two rust spots, in the bucket and the fuel tank, pictured here.It figures that the only steel tank I have is the one that was full of water. Cleansed the system, changed filters, and bled it. In the process, installed new copper washers at the banjo fittings...

As I recall, it's 2,800 psi. Enough to run my snowblower, but with very little to spare. Especially since I like to keep the rpm down.

That does sound like a better solution. But as is, there might be a restrictor or regulator for that cylinder. It's painfully slow, I think. Then again, a 3-point doesn't have to move all that fast, and your linkage can be made to speed the movement up.
