Welcome, Ed. You may want to check with General Hood, who's in Oklahoma. Not that I can vouch for his skills as an operator, but he's a nice guy and his SEE does run every now and then. Or, you can seek out the nearest Case 580C backhoe, then imagine it being mounted on a small raft. At least...

That's what I thought it was supposed to do. But I don't have a clue about what positions the light switch levers should be in, or what moon phase we need, or whatever else it takes to make it work - or to test it. I do remember reading that it'd take a while after depressing the test switch...

That's usually how it works for me, too.

Forgot about that part. But I'm running regular summer grade...with anti-gel additive, of course.

I haven't has any issues running the snow blower (off the rear hydraulics) with regular AW32. Of course, I can't remember what the coldest temperature has been - not all the way down to -20, as I recall, but at least around zero. Running the backhoe in the morning after a single digit night...

A year or two ago somebody mentioned the possibility of a second warning beeper, somewhere in the system. Well, when taking apart the switch box for the loader and high rpm to fix a switch, guess what I found? That means that the backup alarm one can go bye bye, and there may still be a warning...

Good snow chains are our friend. Those Michelins on snow are not.

Got a very old and stubborn irrigation pipe dug out today. The lesson learned is to do this kind of stuff before the ground is frozen.

I think the video is proof that buying a SEE to get an affordable low mileage Unimog is not necessarily the way to go. When Fred asked what I thought would be a fair price for that SEE, I thought he wanted a SEE. When I realized that he'd strip it of the useful bits, I offered to buy the...

Merry Christmas to you, too, FarmMOG!

I think the restrictor is by or on the valves by the lever. Never did look for it while having the cover off to fix the switches. Having one weak loader, I know why you'd like to fix that issue. Mine's probably better than yours, but it's not good. Big time delay in oil pressure showing, yes...

I think I've seen one. Hopefully I saved it in some file, on some stick. Was thinking about finding the restrictor in the backhoe deploy circuit again this morning, and a schematic would be helpful for that. Not that that particular circuit could be very extensive.

Ron, if that's the typical 21x1.5 thread you should be able to get an adapter to NPT, then go from there.

Looks nice. I'd definitely consider those once I win the lottery. As far as road manners go, ag tires usually only have one manner on pavement: wear.

Don't take my word for it, but what I did was remove the level plug, and if nothing came out I added some sort of 80W/90 I had handy through the filler plug until it came out at the level plug. Probably should pull the drain plugs and start fresh at some point.

FarmMOG, you do know that those LEDs Northern sells ca be had at Amazon for less than half the price, right? Last time I bought a few they were about $8 a piece. Just make sure you get the 24, 48, or ideally 72 Volt, versions. Also, they come in 30 and 60 degree models. I would also like to...

FINALLY got the ditch done that the Summer SEE got stuck in. It took forever, between waiting for it to for it to dry out, getting stuck when it wasn't, and now because the ground is frozen, making it tricky to not pull large clumps up along the edges. It was easily the most time consuming 700...

Glad you took it off, before it came off. The way the pintle is attached, I'm almost surprised they don't fall off by themselves, without towing anything.

That light bar could come in handy. I've been meaning to put two 30-degree work lights up there, to complement the 60-degree ones that live where the stock lights were. And speaking of visibility, you should be glad that you don't have a spare.

The storage capacity of a Suburban can be good and bad. Someone may now buy mine (basically for the price of its Dynatrac Dana 60 rear axle) and if that happens I'll need to find space for quite a few parts.
