You can remove the FOPS canopy with the backhoe dipper as shown here.

Thanks for the offer but it looks that I got the dimensions needed to fabricate the plate. (Translated into German: Danke für das Angebot. Es sieht so aus, als ob jetzt ich alle Dimensionen habe, um die Platte herzustellen.)

Hold your horses, gentlemen! I just got some drawings for the mounting plate emailed from Wausau Equipment here in the USA. Fortunately, they only used one size in the States. That means that every Wausau plow with that mounting system will fit on the same vehicle plate. For building custom...

Hi Migginsbros, I am thinking about mounting a front plate according to DIN 76060A, DIN 76060B, EN 15432 F1 or EN 15432 F2 (in Germany generally known as "Kommunalplatte") between/below the SEE front mount for the Schmidt FL4 loader like shown here. These type of plates are standard on a lot of...

The brackets I bought from Speedwoble sat in my shop for almost a year but I finally broke down and tilted the cab to replace a chafed brake fluid line and some of the pneumatic plastic lines. If the weather stays mild, I will also properly install the HMMH front axle lockout system I got a...

Count me in for a cab gasket.

On the air pressure system, work your way from the compressor down to the components first checking for blockage and then for leaks. You will be surprised how much junk can be in the regulators and alcohol injection valve. If your SEE had been sitting any time without the hood and deteriorated...

The lever will stay in the float position after you fix/replace the spring and ball detent in the end cap of the spool valve.

I used a cutoff wheel to slit the hinge bracket vertically, drove the pin stub out, and then tack welded the slit.

Shall I open the case and take some pictures of the inside before I haul it to GA?

FOR SALE: 500 gal Drinking Water Drum, new, 3 available, $175 ea These have never been filled. Original bag with manual and valves for both ends included. Drum and a couple of straps converts any trailer to a water buffalo. Drum can also be towed behind a farm tractor, Unimog, etc. TH400...

Good to know that it is possible. Connecting the hoses on the vehicle side will also keep the circuit open and would prevent damage to the pump and/or high pressure hose in case the PTO is engaged accidentally.

Check your PM. I can take the generator/trailer to the rally if you are interested.

The problem with leaky cylinders on the backhoe is that a lot of the seals are below the level in the hydraulic tank. The oil keeps slowly seeping past the spools in the lever valves and drips out of the busted cylinder seals whether you use the hoe or not. Disconnecting the two main hoses going...

My tank has a removable, round lid with suction tube, return, and level sender attached to it. There is an additional pipe bung welded in on top of the tank where the vent fitting is screwed in. I was referring to the latter.

Just found out that my vent on top of the fuel tank had a valve in it that would only let air OUT of the tank. While that would make sense for deep fording, it did not allow enough air into the tank to replace the burned fuel volume and at some point the engine would starve of fuel. When I tried...

The angle fittings with the orifices are easy to remove after pushing out the pin on the cylinder rod end and tilting the whole cylinder to vertical. That position is also good for bleeding any air out of the circuit.

Hydraulic orifices for backhoe stowing and deployment. I finally found these buggers. They are in the angle fittings on the hydraulic cylinder. Original size is .031". I opened them up to 1/16" (smallest drill I had). Now, the backhoe deploys and stows within seconds rather than taking painful...

Yes, the FLU419 uses a modified Case 580 hoe. However, the bucket curls further to within 2" of the dipper to facilitate stowing the folded hoe over the rear of the Unimog chassis. Any thumb has to be relieved for the middle bucket tooth and the thumb attachment on the dipper should be two...

There is no question about the usefulness of a thumb. The big question is which thumb can be put on the FLU419 without causing too many problems when stowing the backhoe. If we cannot find anything off the shelf, we may have to experiment with plywood mock-ups and then have the steel parts...
