    Soon to be a new FLU419 owner (maybe)

    And you probably wouldn't get a cab with a heater with a 28K tractor.

    Soon to be a new FLU419 owner (maybe)

    I have learned that the hard way...a couple of times.

    It sure does. But that doesn't mean it can't be a good machine, once repaired.

    Soon to be a new FLU419 owner (maybe)

    This late in the game (no more auctions, really) you're at the mercy of what's out there - which is all over the place, physically and price wise. Let's say I sold you my meant-to-be parts SEE, which turned out to be great mechanically, for the 5-something K I paid for it. Well, by the time it...

    Soon to be a new FLU419 owner (maybe)

    Considering how clean it looks, that the hours are most likely 300, not 3,000, and that it's already close to you (shipping would be a killer), I'd offer 22K and hope for the best.

    FLU / SEE

    I would not make that one Couch bought back a priority buy. It must've taken a bit of a beating, based on the "history" in the thread. Then again, if it lived through that ownership, it can't be all bad. The one for sale I saw is here on S/S, by the way. Looks like it has a broken cylinder...

    FLU / SEE

    I saw one for sale somewhere yesterday, so yes. You probably won't find any on the normal auction site these days, though. And I have two.

    FLU / SEE

    Well, a SEE is one version of the FLU419. Then there's the HMMH (crane/forklift) and the HME (trencher/dozer blade). If memory serves me, that's 2,800, 138, and 13, produced respectively.

    You have a button between the seats, and then the trailer brake on the column. But what you need now is a hydraulic impact to run off of the SEE. I was so impressed with the 3/4" that I bought a 1" version, too. It's supposedly good for 2,500 ft.-lbs.

    I dunno. If in a pinch, sure I'd use the SEE's compressor. But aside from being painfully slow, it's not the clean and dry air I'd want in my tires.

    Not knowing where that air outlet is in the circuit of the regulator, you could still use it to help trouble shooting, I'd think. I've filled the system through a gladhand to search for leaks, without engine noise, and needless cold starts.

    Using my SEE for real work

    Potted plants and an umbrella?!? What's next...fingerless driving gloves?

    FLU419 SEE HMMH HME Owners group

    Uh, oh. That reminds me. I have a (left, I think) outrigger that operates normally when extending, but requires pulling HARD on the lever to get to go back up. I need to remove the cover and see what (not) going on in there. Before I break something.

    Wish I remembered how (if) I fixed that same issue on one of my SEEs. I know that I removed the left side of the tubing, but not what the result was. Of course, if it was on my latest attempt at getting a parts SEE (which is likely), it was a rushed attempt at getting a few things working...

    Try removing the tubing at the other end instead. That way you'll know if any air makes it through, and it may help blow some crap out.

    Sounds to me like your regulator is doing what it should, but the air never makes it over to the tanks.

    Supposedly right at the cylinder's connections.

    When I first got mine, I must've stepped on the right pedal at least three times when climbing up - and that was before I learned to keep the rpms down. Either way, I'm somewhat surprised that I haven't killed or maimed myself with a SEE yet. If I use the high idle switch, it's when I get bored...

    FLU419 SEE HMMH HME Owners group

    I'm guilty of operating the pedals by hand, while standing on the ground, somewhat frequently. With my knees and back I'm more likely to hurt/kill myself getting up on and off the machine, I think. Besides, I run mine at 900-1,200 rpm for the most part, so nothing moves quickly. Still, it's not...
