    FULL COVERAGE INSURANCE?

    I have State Farm liability and comprehensive. A few years back I had a claim for a small engine fire. They paid up immediately without any discussion.

    M1009 How To Roll Down the Rear Window??

    If the shaft is still sticking out put some vise-grips on it and turn it that way. If the shaft is broken off I don't know what you could do.

    Hooking up my 803a step 1-help

    Have you talked to your utility? They may be willing to work with you. I get power from Blue Ridge Mountain EMC in North Georgia. I purchased a 400-amp manual transfer switch on Ebay for a really cheap price - $180.00. I ran conduit underground from my generator to the transfer switch. I...

    FLU419 SEE HMMH HME Owners group

    What is everyone using for the hydraulic systems on the FLU419? I've been using 10W engine oil from McMaster Carr at $80.00 / 5 gallon pail (Cat. 1361K36) which makes it $2.00 per quart. I couldn't find anything cheaper and it seems to work well.

    Unconnected and Unknown Wire and Connector on FLU419

    Anyone know what this wire / connector is supposed to connect to? It could even supposed to be connected to ground. It is located directly below the K1 - K5 relays. Everything on the SEE works so that doesn't help. There is no obvious connection point.

    Do I have towing on my policy?

    I have State Farm insurance on my M35A3. It is insured via a commercial policy for non-commercial use. I was told by State Farm that I could add a towing policy for the truck, but that they only supply tow trucks designed to tow cars and light pickups and vans and that if the tow truck shows...

    FLU419 SEE HMMH HME Owners group

    I ordered a new hand guard for my hydraulic chainsaw from Southeast Railroad Tool Service in Ellijay, Georgia, the closest Stanley Infrastructure dealer to me. It only cost a little more than $13.00 and Stanley drop-shipped it to me from Oregon at no cost. Fantastic service from both Stanley...

    A little duct tape! I need to replace the tires on my FLU as well. I think mine are older than yours.

    Replacing Starter Solenoid on FLU419

    I finally got my starter rebuilt and re-installed in my FLU. I had it rebuilt by Sleepy Hollow Rebuilders (SWR) in Cumming, Georgia for $125.00 . They did an excellent job. It looks brand new and functions perfectly. I supplied an NOS solenoid I found on Ebay, although they had a new one...

    FLU, no clutch disengagement, and unrelated, no air pressure

    Since you don't know what is in the systems, I would recommend flushing both the clutch and brake systems thoroughly and replacing with DOT 5 as Speedwoble suggested. DOT 5 and DOT 3 or DOT 4 are not compatible to mix. DOT 5 is far superior. Don't use DOT 5.1 as it is totally different from...

    Starter bolt backed out and fried the starter

    I'm assuming that you know for a fact that the new starter is a good one? You can take it to a starter shop and have it tested. As suggested above, check/replace the cables, but also check the batteries. I had something similar happen once and one of the batteries burned one of the post...

    What Is This Patch Cord For On FLU419

    I can't believe I never saw that in the -10 manual. I thought the cord might have been used for some sort of test equipment. Thanks.

    What Is This Patch Cord For On FLU419

    Does anyone know the purpose of this patch cord on the drivers side loader arm? I'm assuming here that it is a patch cord. It's interesting that it is stored out in the weather.

    Clear Coat Over GCI 383 Green

    When I was in the Army 1970-71, guys that were repainting vehicles with the green semi-gloss always tried to sneak in some diesel fuel into the paint before spraying. It was totally against the regs because it made the paint shine really good. However, I am NOT recommending anyone add diesel...

    Official 2020 Georgia Military Vehicle Rally (20GMVR) information thread

    Clint, Why not ask Clint, Why not ask for people to confirm that they are coming and to commit to paying the fee for the good site you found. If enough people confirm they will attend and you reserve the location, then ask everyone coming to pay ahead of time so that you don't get stuck with...

    Air Vent From Flu419 Power Steering Reservoir

    I found a photo on the internet that shows the vent line coming from the power steering reservoir connecting to the vent line on the timing cover. I'm not sure why they connected these two, but it is obvious that they did.

    shop that is reasonable? im in nj

    I have to disagree. I have purchased both vehicles and parts from Eastern. In all cases they were very easy to work with and accepted lower offers from me from prices that were already reasonable.

    M35A3 Transmission Temp

    Check the voltage going to the gauge and make sure it is 24 VDC. It's a very simple circuit. 24 VDC goes into the gauge on one side and the wire coming out the other connector on the gauge goes directly to the sensor. Make sure the connections are good. If everything looks good, I would go...
