Not having consulted the excellent chart of General Hood fame, if I understand you correctly, peakbagger, all that circuit accomplishes is to turn on an indicator light - which tells you that you have moved a lever. If all the light switches are in the correct position to allow the indicator...

Those look like manly tires. I never came across them while searching for something suitable for a SEE, but now I have to look up the specs for those Pirellis. After I recently bought two sets of tires, of course. With any luck the weather will cooperate today and allow fixing the air leaks in...

Maybe someone has a photo of a charge air cooler? (Sorry, corelokt, couldn't resist).

Alright, didn't realize that they were so pricey in your neck of the woods, Dan. I most definitely can relate to the having built-it-myself feeling, which is worth a lot in itself. But when you're only reusing the springs (if I understand things correctly), I thought you'd be time and money...

Alright, I'm amazed. You could say that I have a trailer fetish, having lots of them and like building, modifying, and towing them. But what I don't understand here is why you're spending so much time on something that apparently requires more money just in material, axles, springs, etc. than...

Hard to guess what to recommend, really. All we know is that it's a CUCV of some sort, in Louisiana. Maybe it is running hot, maybe it isn't.

If the radiator, and the rest of the cooling system, is in good shape, please consider a better fan setup. It's almost hard to go wrong with properly sized and shrouded Spal electric fans. For what it's worth, I drove my Banks turbo'd M1009 with 35-inch tires and stock 3.08s for a while, in...

How many thousands larger is the OD above the serrations? If you already have the 610-283 studs, why not spend a few minutes on the lathe machining them down to correct size?

A simple potential cause I overlooked. There has to be more to the story than the non operational hydraulics in the clutch system, or the trans couldn't be shifted with the engine running.

Welcome to the madness, John. As far as your clutch issue(s) go, the only way I can explain what's happening is that there's no mechanical connection between the flywheel and transmission. Or, your shifter isn't connected to the forks. Getting the master and slave to work will likely be the easy...

Speaking of those switches for the tools; A while back I removed both (neither light or tool would move) switches and sprayed some JB-80 into them best I could, wiring still attached. Main problem, I think, was that mine were mounted with the contacts facing up, making the metal body a tub to...

I don't think "safe" and "FLU" can be used in the same sentence. Even if the dumb clutch switch is still operational. But that's one thing I like about them; It requires a bit of thinking to operate one.

In all fairness, if the loader isn't working correctly (like on my original SEE), lifting the front with it may not be possible. One of these days I'll follow through on the tips peakbagger gave me on the loader hydraulics. The restrictor valves are in different circuits between my two loaders...

I think that the clutch's safety switch would be the least of my worries if someone unfamiliar with a SEE was to operate one. The people at OSHA must have nightmares about these things.

Interesting thing about the SEE, you say. Interesting indeed. The outriggers on my two SEEs (all four, in other words) are identical. Unless someone swapped one in from a different model on yours, they should be the same, too. Yes, the backhoes are offset by about five inches, which can be a bit...

Are you sure? Just out of curiosity, why do you want that switch to be operational? I'm about to remove one that doesn't always make contact, making me have to push it in by hand. It may be misadjusted, or have some corrosion that makes it unreliable, but either way I haven't thought of a good...

Well, the outriggers can obviously only lift a SEE so far, but the backhoe is good for lifting the rear end several feet off the ground. The loader would then have to provide balance. Not level? The backhoe would have to be swung to the side accordingly. To get the front up, as mentioned...

That doesn't sound like a description of M1008 axles, but rather 1028s only. Either way, if the part number for a Detroit Locker is the same for a 70/70HD/80, which is easy enough to check, then they'll fit all three. But do you really want a Detroit in a relatively light and short vehicle that...

Nominal size of the Pitbulls is 39.5x16.50, and they look about the same as the Michelins in height, so a bit taller than I wanted. Haven't compared Static Loaded Radius, though, which is what really counts. But I do remember that the tread width was increased by about 45%, which helps immensely...

On a Suzuki Samurai, yes. For a vehicle that has lots of torque and can carry heavy loads, probably not. But with everything being bigger, so are the price tags for parts. And then there's the extra weight, which comes out of your total load carrying ability.
