That is one brave hot shot, joeblack! I haven't tried putting a SEE on my tandem axle with duals yet, a gooseneck with 10K axles. Some 8,500 lbs. of trailer and 16,000 worth of SEE alone puts me within 500 lbs. of the trailer's GVWR.

That sounds great. No matter which lane he favors, it couldn't be that far from going by me.

Appreciate that, Johan. The bummer is the long drive, or high cost of shipping. Unless you happen to have contacts.

Only five, since I sold what should've been a parts car. It was way too nice, just like my first attempt at buying a parts car. What I really could use is a loader, or partial loader, and since yours is already off, would you mind mailing it to me?

So could I, but patrol is too dang far away.

C'mon, patrol, give it another chance.

Nice! That's what I need to get around to do, too.

Ah, I'm lazy and just reach in over the tire. Had I needed to remove the hood every time, I would've given up and sold the SEE. I also gave up on bleeding at the filters, except in the most demanding cases, and just used the primer pump. Keep in mind that I had to go through this every 5 to 15...

Uh, oh. I thought that was common knowledge. Pumping the primer if it wouldn't start/keep running, that is. Also, I don't fully understand the hate for the old style primer pump. Yes, I replaced one with a new style, but that was because the old one started leaking. I'll rebuilt it at some...

Good question. I'm so used to these things that I can't say for sure if the rest comes on or not. But I'd say it does, or I'd remember. I also need to get into the valve compartment, as one outrigger lever is all but ineffective in the retract direction. Might be quickest to cut a large access...

I often have to turn the master switch off and back on again on the Winter SEE, leaving the clutch depressed. Not enough of a hassle to make me find the real problem (which in my case is likely the master switch).

I probably turned the fan to get them past it. Well, you'd have to, I think, but never did turn the crank.

Hmm. I don't recall getting the belts in place was an issue. Sorry, no help there. Adjustments were less than fun, though, that I won't forget.

I bought a used 12-inch bucket for a 580 for one of mine. The geometry isn't exactly the same so it won't quite fold up like it's supposed to, but that doesn't matter to me. Anyway, you can find aftermarket buckets and used ones on eBay or Craigslist, for example. The pins are standard issue...

whoever bought the '90 today got a good deal, I think. Hopefully it's an SS member.

I need to look at the bead areas, and a wheel, again and refresh my memory. As I recall it seemed fine. And it was much more work to get the Michelins off than to mount the PitBulls and Swampers.

And to pick back, of course they don't. I have much more enjoyable vehicles to drive on the road. Should a SEE need to be 25 miles from here, it'd go there on a trailer. And if it had surplus radials on it, I would consider trailering on the property, too. So there.

Like you, I wanted better tires than the stockers (which is almost anything), but not radials, and definitely not surplus radials. Also wanted a wider stance and lower contact pressure, so on one SEE I put 39.5x16.50 PitBull Rockers, on 2-inch widened rims. That setup works great, and there's...

I remember seeing what I thought was surprisingly reasonable rates. Not that I recall what they were, but it was for large and heavy machines. As far as non running goes, I'd spend and hour or two to get the better one running. It's usually quite easy. Most any broker should be able to get you...

Did anybody notice the two coming up for sale? At least one of them seems to be well worth the shipping cost, if the bidding stays reasonable, which it seems to do.
