I'm curious about how it'll shift with everything hooked up. And envious of your already functional shifting. In my case the shifts are very late, due to a different model pump that wouldn't accept the original setup. I've lived with it as is for a long time, but it would be nice to get it to...

And here I was going to let your "My spare tire was also brand new..." comment slide. New tires aren't weathered, but unused ones can be. There can be a big difference between new and unused when it comes to tires. It really bugged me when an outfit advertised Michelins as new when in reality...

Gotta love those Michelins.

Quickest and easiest is probably to Google "Automatic transmission ID", or something similar. With the outlines of the pan gasket you can identify them.

The only nukes that could possibly be legal there would be transgender ones of color. And that's assuming that they're not in the state legally.

Good to hear that GP followed through. Have you dared to look at the DOT code of that tire yet?

Dang, Gifu, I was supposed to be in Truckee (well, a bit north of) next week, but that's not happening. Anyway, I'm afraid that the answers to most of your questions, with the exception of shipping details, can be found on pages 51 through 337. Read until your eyes are bleeding. Many of us did.

But of course it does! How else would you justify getting a spare SEE, or two?

Alpine44 made me aware that the TM says not to use bias ply tires on a FLU. Looked it up, and sure enough: "Do not use bias ply tires on vehicle. To do so could result in damage to equipment." Okay, if it was a late model Corvette and I put bias tires on it, the handling would suffer greatly...

You now reminded me of that I still ​haven't got around to try using the backhoe to lift the spare into place. Oh well, one of these years...

So do I, which is why I suggested making a reusable gasket from RTV. Yes, I have to clean some off of my finger after spreading the RTV onto the cover, and also wipe the oil that keeps the RTV from sticking to the axle housing off a finger, but considering that it's pretty much a one time job, I...

Yes, going over the agreed maximum annual mileage and covering that up by giving false information would not be honest. But when I don't get around to drive a car in a year, whether the odometer reading stays the same because of lack of use or because it isn't working should be a moot point...

Or you could make reusable gaskets with the appropriate silicone.

That's unfortunately only a slight exaggeration. Yes, the departure angle suffers a bit by installing a receiver, but that's a small sacrifice. Not that the M1009 is a great tow vehicle, but at least a properly installed receiver should be used if towing with one.

The rusty tank with water in it was full...of water (sure wish that one was aluminum, not steel). But the water itself wasn't the problem, the real issue was that GP had tried starting the SEE. That moved the water all the way into the second filter. For removing the rust, I have tried the...

Yeah, it took me a while to quit thinking "Well, now it's probably fine", after attacking yet another portion of the fuel line. But in the process I became more and more familiar with it. At this point I "only" have one tank with fungus/bacteria in it (biocide working as this is written) and one...

As I've learned (usually the hard way) more about the FLU's fuel system - up to but not including the injector pump - I've largely changed my mind about it. At first it was "Let's rip this crap out and replace it all, using rubber hose and...". These days I think it's a well functioning setup...

Being that the sealing qualities of the O-ring are important, I hope you're not planning on reusing it. Of course, I also hope that you won't need to tear into the axle in the first place, but if you do... Since you'll be able to get the ID, OD, and width of the parts the O-ring should fit, I'd...

I knew that that's what you meant, Tinstar. But I couldn't resist.

How did you know that they were in a tractor?!? In a Peterbilt, to be specific. Of course, many would call it a "semi truck" (which makes no sense whatsoever), but it is indeed a tractor.
