10-12 SEEs would about double the population of his home town! With or without extra rats.

Hmmmm - what is your address and when will you be at home? :D Actually I am not the only guy I know that has 1 of each. It's a small club.

Can't claim credit for that, my contractor/friend is a real renaissance man and came up with that. Just be sure and add some outriggers to broaden the base side to side and put casters on there, you need to fabricate the long supports in the back as well. Everything was straight bolt on, and...

Nooo. The SEE was not my first government surplus item.;)

I don't know if it will help, but we used an excavator as a 'crane' by welding 2 loops to the back of the bucket, with complementary loops on a backing plate for the winch, put a 1 1/2" pin through it to hold it on while in use. We had a remote control, but changed to the wired control for more...

Thats Billy Bob big riggers down here. :D

Please thread those very carefully at first, so many of the metric threads appear at first glance like the SAE could work, until they cross thread and jam. (I don't pretend to know what parts were Mercedes(Metric) and which might have been spec'd as SAE to be compatible with the rest of the...

Are either of those products routinely added to PREVENT the problem, or only used to treat it afterwards? Would Sta-Bil or another product do anything for this issue, or is that just for chemical breakdown of the fuel? Thanks in advance for input from the forum.

I have to say, I am amazed at the collective wisdom, cooperation and experience of the forum members. I knew going in that the SEE was a very lightly produced item (1,431 +/- if Wikipedia is correct) I also knew that many are in a serious state of disrepair, judging from the auction and...

SNOW??? It's 82 f. here today. Take I-95 south until the hotels don't have plugs for block heaters. That's far enough south! (Lived in North Dakota and Wyoming) ☃😬

Mine included a 5 lb fire extinguisher, but it is loose in the tool box, not the cab where at least 1 belongs, with maybe a larger one outside for bigger issues like fuel or brush, or hopefully anything except my SEE! 😬

If I did that, I would add another BIG A** Fuel filter in line before the pump or anything else that mattered, because Murphy's Law is really in play here. Good news is you will have plenty of 'stuff' to apply onto any noxious plants that need addressing. (oops, did I say that out loud?)

Thanks for your efforts on behalf of this SEE newbie. It will save a lot of looking and frustration later.

Very unhappy times indeed. I've never seen anything that bad before. I hope somebody has an easier solution, but I suspect your diagnosis is correct. Even if someone planned to part out this unit, why not keep parts in good shape???

I would like to keep it out of moving parts and excessive heat while in use, I wonder where the best place might be to put/hang the packets to deter vermin. In buildings, I put them near the doorways, autos on the floor near the dash and in the trunk, FLU419 SEE's - no idea yet. Probably 1-2...

Has anyone else used the Balsam Fir Oil anti-rodent packets from the Tractor Supply chain. I have had good luck in buildings and autos. Didn't know where the best place to put or hang packets to repel mice/rats from dash wiring. Any suggestions?

My mistake, PS529 Dec 1996 referred to to the backhoe arm pivot zerk. I will have to double check my SEE and make sure not to miss that fitting. Thanks for posting. Mark1954

FLU Farm, wasn't there one of the Army cartoon service bulletins that dealt with that particular zerk issue? I don't remember the solution, but they had a recommendation.

Is the Actual Midwest in KS or elsewhere?

Oooohhhh! Drooling.
