    Throttle bushing retaining pin

    Thanks for finding a source for these clips. I wimped out the other day on the adjustment of the linkage when I realized how tight the access is.

    FLU419 stuck in 4-wheel mode, not engaging in differential lock

    "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...

    SEE/HMMH loaner tool exchange

    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...

    FLU419 stuck in 4-wheel mode, not engaging in differential lock

    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?

    "Nothing" would almost be better than this clog-o-rama.

    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...

    FLU419 stuck in 4-wheel mode, not engaging in differential lock

    Looking at the SEE parts diagram, it appears that the locker dog/clutch and piston is accessible after removing the short side of each axle.

    Where did you find the hydraulic diagram?

    I looked at the parts manual but could not find anything that jumps out.

    What is the Texarkana method as it relates to stowing/deploying the backhoe implement? Does it involve a forklift?

    FLU419 SEE HMMH HME Owners group

    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.

    Pull tree with a winch?

    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...

    Back Hoe Lever Lock ,right side wont Unlock

    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...

    Twisted minds think alike! I did exactly the same with a vice grip.

    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...

    Thanks. Were the SEEs originally issued/fielded with Dot 5 (I am unable to take a sample of my SEE right now)?
