Yeah, that's what I figured is what we all have. During my search for leaks I pressurized the tank through that vent fitting several times. To the point that I may have gained a bit in tank capacity in the process. Anyway, I don't think I've ever removed a vent so I took for granted that it's...

Is that in the elbow, or did you have a hose with other accoutrements attached to it? I've put compressed into the tank through the elbow a number of times.

I had bad algae (and who knows what) in a tank. Couldn't remove that one easily, but kept flushing it out. Also blew the "filter" at the pickup out numerous times with compressed air and cleaned the strainer LOTS of times. Eventually, and after using Bio Bor, it worked out fine. Each case is...

Forgot about the strainer gasket, peakbagger. That one was what kept me busy for a while, after having fixed everything else in the system. These days the FLUs fire up instantly, and some even have a bit of pressure in the tanks after sitting for months. It does make all the time spent chasing...

One of these days (years?) I'll have to look into the charging issues on my Winter SEE, which likes to overcharge (32 Volts plus), or after fiddling with the master switch only charges to 26 Volts. But in your case it sounds like you have no charging at all...which would explain why the tach...

Thanks, but no thanks. I already sold one SEE, and probably should sell another FLU.

This sad subject has been covered quite extensively in the past few years in this thread. Heck, someone (me?) started a separate thread on it. Basically, you need to eliminate all air leaks from the tank on up, and make sure the fuel can come up from the tank in the first place.

After three months of on and off progress, the FLUs can finally enjoy covered parking.

I used 1/8-inch, possibly 3/16...what ever I had laying around. I think 1/4-inch would be real overkill for this application, and just more work to move around. But then, with a bad back and knees, I try to keep things light.

This is as far in as it'll go with the little bucket...almost latches, but not quite. Close enough for me, though.

Now you're gonna make me look tomorrow. I don't remember if it latches or not.

Yeah, I noticed that the 12-inch bucket I installed won't tuck in as far as the stock 24-incher does. Oh well, having the out rigger stick out a bit more doesn't hurt anything - until you hit it.

Thanks, Alpine! Not where I had expected them to be, that's for sure. Easy to get to, right? I really like that.

Okay, here's a pic of the dirt simple stand I made. As you can see, one weld to make the 90 at the top and one for the jack towards the bottom. Having a jack is obviously optional, but it does make things easier and more controllable.

I'll try to remember taking a photo tomorrow, Ray.

August, I hate to tell you, but the reel is running off the front pump as I recall, which means that your brush hog better not be larger than a one or two foot diameter unit. But since you're going to run a rear mounted implement anyway, why not use the rear hydraulics instead? And sorry, but I...

If you have the patience to look it up in the SEE/HMMH/HME thread, there are photos of a simple one I made maybe a year and a half ago. It has two welds, but if not incorporating a trailer tongue jack it would've only been one.

Couldn't you modify one of the bits for the jackhammer, making it into a tamper? Should be a heck of a lot cheaper.

I have a couple of tweaked trailer tongues from doing similar things. So, no, it usually isn't good for the trailer.

I dunno. By now I'm better at the goofy Case SEE setup than with the more logical twin sticks. Takes a few seconds to get up to speed with the SEE, but up to an hour with the twin sticks. Of course, that because of a 50 to 1 usage ratio in my case.
