Brake/Clutch Bleeder Kit
Purpose: Essential for bleeding the brake and clutch circuits on a SEE/HMMH
Usage:
-Fill both reservoirs to the MAX.
-Attach the caps of the kit to both reservoirs. (An additional seal is provided if one of the reservoir neck does not seal tightly)
-Close the valve on...
"Pushing" with significant pressure from the differential side is not an option due to the risk of blowing out the seals towards the central tube or axle housings.
'NOS" means "New, old stock" basically stuff that has never been used but sitting around forever. The pump I was referring to is a...
This thread is for posting seldomly used tools that fellow SS members can borrow by paying only for shipping.
After a week or two, the borrowed tool gets shipped to the next member requesting it or back to the owner.
In the following post I offer my brake bleeder kit that you can reserve by...
I have a NOS hydraulic handpump from a mobilizer dolly laying around that would make a nice setup for freeing stuck lockers. What are the thread dimensions on both (top/bottom) ports?
Fortunately, OSHA does not have any jurisdiction in my neck of the woods. However, I made a sketch of a quick attack guard rail that turns the self-leveling loader into a decent aerial bucket. A safety harness is not going to be very useful if you come to rest face to face with the loader teeth.
Had a good, productive day today.
First, I created some water diversions with the backhoe by positioning the FLU419 at the drain side of the diversion and fully extending the bucket to act as a scraper. Then pulling in the fully extended dipper while adjusting the boom height and turning the...
Does anyone know what needs to be modified to deploy and stow the backhoe faster?
I get that the movement speed needs to be limited to avoid damage at the end stops but on my FLU419 it is agonizingly slow while you hear pump and engine straining against a restriction in both directions.
I would use a snatch block so that a helper can drive the vehicle down the driveway while pulling the tree in the desired direction as it falls. Then a correct felling cut
proper felling cut ,
some wedges, maybe some pre-tension with the truck and the tree will fall exactly the way you want...
Did you by any chance buy the FLU419 in Atlanta on ePay? I had to cancel the purchase of this one because it could not be loaded and transported due to the backhoe being stuck in the working position.
Anyways, the two lock cylinders are plumbed in parallel. If one moves and the other not, it is...
Couple questions about oil for the hydraulics:
Will replacing the oil in the front reservoir with AW32 substantially improve the response of the loader?
Can AW32 be added to the existing motor oil?
I plan to stick with the motor oil in the rear tank because the backhoe seems to work well with...
Even with the radiator out there is no way to get to the PS pump adjustment screw from the front. Only access is from below - blindly as far as the screw head is concerned.
After spending about 30 hours over the last week on my "new" FLU419, the following things have been accomplished.
-Built jack for front loader and removed loader to gain easier access to engine compartment.
-Replaced fuel filters with new assembly from EI and got engine running without much...
