OSHA approved, no doubt. And that alone makes me want to copy your idea.

Okay, it's tennmogger that deserves the credit for this one.

So the locker engaged? Does it disengage, too? It sounds like you (we) owe whoever it was that suggested the grease gun method. Peakbagger, I think.

I don't regret buying a SEE either, which I got because of the backhoe. But on the other hand, I wouldn't want to give up the Kubota. Different animals, I think, and good at different things. And for someone who like challenges, the SEE is ideal. It sucks that you ended up with a leak, and if...

Ah, no wonder it got mad at you and broke - what did the poor thing do wrong to get driven into a busy city?!?

Maybe that's why man invented rifle drilled axle shafts?

Yes, and also tools and some "Ford wire". I'm way too lazy to walk, and not about to call AAA unless there's no other option. But for a busted throttle cable I'd probably just turn up the idle and go.

I knew you would ask...and I wish I could remember where I found it. Or if was even FLU specific. After two years of searching for FLU info I've unearthed a fair amount, much more than my brain cell can contain. I'll search the folder of saved stuff later, okay?

Dang! I really want to see that illustration, but Malwarebytes won't let me. Does it look like you could poke things physically, or are the moving parts inaccessible?

It's been a while since I looked at the hydraulics diagram, and I wasn't looking for anything in that circuit, but since it acts and sounds like there's a restrictor in there somewhere, I'm pretty sure there is one. Whoever finds it first, please let us know where. I'll try without the...

I thought you knew, Ron, but used this as an excuse to leave the backhoe out and on the ground as an anti theft device, General Hood style.

Since you're replacing the wheel cylinder anyway, grind or chisel the bolt head off.

Ah, the tried and true question about the over-center function of the boom cylinder. When the boom starts slowing down, reverse the lever and the boom will go all the way to the stop. Do it at lower rpm until you get used to it. Well, I always do it slowly, at low rpm, to be kind to the machinery.

There must be a restrictor in that circuit, somewhere. I have yet to look for it, but when I do (if I find it), it's gone. Yes, as is, that part of backhoe operation is painfully slow.

As far as I know, it's all hydraulic. At least I can't see a reason for anything electrical to be involved. I'd loosen the fittings at the cylinder and verify that you have flow/pressure. Maybe also remove the cylinder with the hoses attached and try operating it that way. Thankfully new...

Is that in addition to the ones I wanted to buy, or....?

Not sure what you mean by "with pizza cut flaps in the center", but glad hand seals come in basic rubber and in poly versions. Either kind is installed by pushing it into place. Like with all rubber, wetting it downs helps reduce friction so spitting on them helps. As far as the glad hand...

Oops. Forgot about that part. Sorry.

That's odd, considering that Justice Brothers is based by the 10/605 intersection. Too good for CA is probably a correct guess on your part, though. Anyway, there are many other penetrants, and I once found a study of their effectiveness - which is how I found out about the acetone/ATF mix. If...

And don't overlook that there's still about 14.6 psi in that tire.
