If you mount the fronts "backwards" you'd get better longevity, and more importantly, better ability to back out of trouble.

Those valve stems should work, Ron. Just be sure to use the correct size grommet. For breaking the bead, I've been using a Hi-Lift jack, in my case under the drop leg of the HMMH, but anything heavy enough will work. If using a Hi-Lift, be sure to get the base as close to the rim as possible...

Not sure if there are any left, but I remember seeing complete new or rebuilt axle assemblies for sale at surprisingly low cost. You may want to poke around on the interweb a bit.

Sounds like you may have overheated the hubs, and I do remember reading that they like to spit oil out when driven fast. Are they back to normal after having felt like you were in 4WD?

That's why I left the state. Well, one of many reasons, really.

Okay, it wasn't with an M1009, or using a Bubba rope, but the one time I tried to pull a large forklift out (using two snatch blocks and an 8,000-lb. winch) I ended up slightly moving the 80,000-lb. building I used as an anchor, and ripped the rear cross member off the frame. It was a govt...

That one looks a lot like mine, except my end doors are at the far end from the front of the garage, not centered. Seeing that one also reminded me of one inexpensive option I really like; eaves. Even just a foot makes a difference in looks, I think, and it does keep some snow a bit farther...

Sounds like you would be using yours much like I'm using mine (quick attach, ditches, running hydraulic tools, etc.), except for the 3-point. The military videos show much of what you seem to be interested in, and I think all of it has been discussed in the SEE, HMMH and HME owners thread at...

I would imagine that most, if not all, videos of FLU419s are on available on You Tube. If I'm guessing right, you're interested in the SEE and there seems to be quite a few of those videos. Not much if you're after the HMMH, and hardly anything about the HME. I'm also trying to understand...

Watch one of the videos?

For clarification, the odd and difficult to disassemble cylinders are used on the HMMH, not the SEE. Not that the SEE's cylinders come apart all that easily.

Since there's no snow yet, the HMMH has seem more use than normal (and the SEEs less). Loaded a trailer onto another trailer the other day, as I sold both to the same guy. Today I put the new 10-foot mower on top of a container. Partially because I wanted it off the ground, partially because I...

Brent, unless I misunderstood your post, the reason the seals didn't fit the loader is that it's a Schmidt, not a Case.

I'd think that if the air supply, or the cylinder itself, isn't working right for the 4WD part, it wouldn't prevent the lockers from working.

Okay, mine's a Utility King, and I'm very happy with it. As Daybreak pointed out, decide on what you want, find the best possible contractor, and go at it. We also have a few Morton buildings, plus the Utility King, and the procedure was about the same. Morton is far more expensive, but takes...

Welcome, Mountain, and good to hear that you got yours through the system. Not that I understand the urge to drive them on the road, but hey, it's one way to wear out those useless Michelins a FLU comes with.

Naturally, I don't remember the name of my metal garage now, but I'll try to remember to look at the sign in the morning. In the meantime, my main suggestion would be to go as large as humanly possible. Rob a bank if you must, but build it big. Also, I'd recommend a heated floor (go back, but...

Karl, I suggested Colorado as I know that there are several Unimogs (almost a lot of FLUs, actually) in the area, so no, I'm not talking about the D-Day park. Couch Off Road is by Denver. Jay mentioned the size of his place when we talked, but unfortunately I don't remember how large it is...

Thanks. For the most part, whatever tasks the HMMH is used for could be done with the tractor. But it's usually easier, and definitely more fun, to use the crane or the more meaningful forklift.

Took the CUCV camping.
