Good, that gives you more options to plug in an air hose. Taking fittings apart, at least partially, makes it easy to find out how far the pressure does travel. Or doesn't.

Uh, oh. Mine's sitting with the outriggers chained together. Luckily, the backhoe is still attached to the SEE. Oh, and not to rub it in, rtrask, but when I got in my Winter SEE today it still showed 60 psi, after a month or so. And that's with the original drain valves.

Ron, you'll save on cold starts, fuel, and frustration by feeding the SEE air pressure from an external source. Easiest to use the glad hands. Second best is to turn the engine off and then listen for leaks. They'd have to be substantial to be louder than the engine. That the compressor's...

When I had fuel line problems, being lazy I just sat in the seat and sprayed starting fluid into the bottom of the cover on top. Then kept squirting as needed until the fuel system took over. One thing I've never tried is giving it more throttle than just over idle. Oh, and I do use anti gel.

At least you won't have to worry about the Gov-Lok blowing up...again.

It's better to be lucky than good, Speedwoble. My first SEE was clean and well equipped, but also pricey. The second one, meant to be a parts car, was quite cheap and turned out to be even better in many ways. Between the two, I could've almost bought one from C&C. Since I have different uses...

Hey, I'm down to a mere five, after having sold a SEE. Which I kind of regret. And the one FLU I would consider selling is not a SEE, but it would be expensive.

Well, in your case it's the seal for the rod that's endangered, and the piston has to come off to replace that one. And since the rod has to be replaced anyway, yes, you might as well replace them all.

You can replace the piston seals without taking everything apart, but not the rod's seal.

Unless you're going for a concourse restoration, why not use a universal reservoir? I did indeed buy two diagrams from G. Hood, and could sell one.

Buy spare seals. Lots of them. Or get a new rod.

Congratulations! I like hearing when gambles pay off. And with the snowblower, I can relate. I do the start-up routine differently, though. Maybe because I hate slipping clutches. I always keep the hand throttle at a low idle, except when running the backhoe - then it's set at around 1,200 to...

I think it says New Jersey, but either way, it's not a FLU.

There's a lone SEE coming up for sale, next week, I think. At least at a quick glance, it didn't look overly tempting.

The quick tach conversion (done primarily for the snowblower) was fairly well covered in the main SEE, HHMH, HME owners thread about two years ago. The blade just hooks onto the same mounts as the loader uses. And speaking of using, pictured is the first time my pavement breaker was used. The...

Here are three different ways to clear snow with a FLU. I have pushed snow with the bucket to the point that the fenders bent a bit. I only use the bucket to move snow piles out of the way. The snow blower setup works fairly well, the main drawback being that at the rpms the snowblower likes...

Chris, it sounds like you'll have to work on your SEE for a couple of days before worrying about washing and waxing it. Welcome, and enjoy!

Getting at least one of them off would be nice, since there may be a manufacturer logo or part number on it. I didn't try with completely locking the reel in place, so that's still an option I should try. It'd be interesting to compare the internals, I think. With any luck the swivels are from...

Other than the NPT on the reel end, the swivels I looked at were all different. So far I've only plugged the hoses and yesterday I parked the (formerly) leaky one in the garage. Now I can disassemble one swivel and see what's in there. They won't come off without a fight, which is why...

Umm, have you considered the geometry of such a chain-up? LOTS of stress on things unless you lift the loader up above the cab by a bit.
