The good thing with those rodeo horses was that they didn't have 20 to 30 year old Michelin radials on them. Buying a trailer and putting an extra four to six spare tires in it may not be a bad idea for a longer trip. Yes, I dislike radials, and really hate old radials.

I agree, oddly enough. Oddly, because I'm usually the first one to go on an adventure in uncharted territory. One reason I have been getting away with it so many times is probably because "ignorance is bliss". Knowing what I know now about SEEs, I wouldn't want to go on a trip of any real...

I had it happen to me today, again. Sometimes it seems to help to turn the master back off and then on again, while holding the clutch down. And speaking of pushing the clutch in. I forgot to mention that after fiddling with the tool switch, when I pushed the clutch in there was a distinct...

While there were some wild poppies growing behind the house, it was weed I was worried about. Lots of brush and very varied topography made it practically impossible to see what was growing where. In what was probably a perfect climate for growing weed, and with known growing in the general...

Well, not quite. Just like with the engine, trans, and axles, there's a vent to allow for expansion and contraction of the fluids and air inside. Without those vents we'd be changing a lot ​of seals, and often.

Oh, those are old circumstances. No longer a valid excuse since I not only sold that house, but left the state. Although, I still have those waterproof bags, should you decide to walk over to the river...and fall in.

Yeah, they are indeed Eighties tail lights. Together with MUCH other stuff, they were in the attic of a house I bought. Interestingly enough, the owner left in a big hurry (there was even food in the fridge, still) and I found water proof bags, maps of Columbia, hidden compartments in the house...

Well, yeah, I don't waste time on building housing for coyote food...err, I meant the chicken coop that apparently kept you from finding out what's wrong with your SEE #2's rear axle. Anyway, I did add a non-American (it's a Grote, but surely made in China) spot mirror today. And I do have the...

To counter the bad news about Foxyjosh's tranny, today was a relatively good day as far as the (formerly) parts SEE goes. Found out why one Zerk on the upper pin for the bucket wouldn't take grease - had to drill out the passage, it was full of very hard ex-grease. Thankfully the pin still...

Sorry to hear that, Foxyjosh. Like patrol578 mentioned, it puts my SEE issues in a new perspective. I would think that Couch may be your best bet. From what I understand he's familiar with the procedure, and only about half as far away. The latter alone would represent a noticeable amount of...

Well, that was easy. At least I'd like to think that having the ferrule installed correctly will help prevent air leaks. The idiot that installed it backwards yesterday will be punished accordingly.

Like cucvrs says, it's not easy to overfill the transfer case. Unless you're parked on a fairly steep downhill. If the timing for a real repair is bad, for now you could open the fill plug once a week or so, letting any excess out. Just don't forget to keep an eye on the transmission's fluid...

Okay, my usual suspects are the master switch and the clutch interlock. I'm guessing clutch in your case. And you should touch it. Literally. There has been times when "slamming" the clutch pedal down won't do it and I had to push it in by hand.

I just don't understand how any of those things would keep it from starting. Does it act like a bad connection when you hit the start button? If not, it could be that darn switch at the clutch.

For sale: Slightly used SEE fuel troubleshooting setup. Possible trade for 2-inch widened wheel that doesn't leak, a functional left door latch, 50 gallons of AW 32, or something similar. Well, that's what I intended to post, but once again I can relate, patrol578. As soon as I had removed the...

I can call and cheer you on. Repeatedly. Think it'd help? Besides, what fun would life be without continuity?

I don't think I've ever tried any wipers on a dry windshield, but how do your wipers work under the conditions they are supposed to work in; a wet windshield? Rubber and glass have a lot of friction when dry.

I can relate. Except in my case it's been months. Had a few minutes, and the desire, so today I hooked up a portable air tank to the vent. Loosened the small plug at the filter housing inlet (there as a result of removing the diagnostic gizmo) and gave it some air. Nothing. Tried again, nothing...

Did you already forget about those seats from Surplus Center? As I recall they were about $20 a piece, which is why I bought two...shipping on one would've doubled its price. And, no, I haven't tried to install one yet. It's four bolts, how hard could it possibly be, even if the pattern doesn't...

See that little coupler near the engine? Those things only get around by being towed. As in Fort Towson. Never seen one in real life - they must all be in the so-called midwest.
