If you're eventually going to switch to hydraulic fluid, you might as well start pouring it in now.

As i recall, those living quarters were sold shortly after the photos were taken. Complete with the car they were in.

No, that would probably require adding fuel before 10 hours were up. But the problem with my tractor's loader is that it doesn't call for lubing it every 10 hours of use. That would make sense. Instead it says to lube it every 10 hours, period. Anyway, in my case I needed a backhoe. But, as you...

I read about that Zerk fitting somewhere, probably in the manual, or I would've likely missed it. Anyway, grease is cheap, and so am I. That's why I lube everything often, so I won't need to replace worn out stuff. Actually, I'm much more likely to wear out the Zerk fittings than what they...

Lonnie, it took me long enough to realize what you actually meant. Yes, this is a sick place.

Thanks for the reminder, Peakbagger! I'm about to lube the parts SEE and would likely have forgot about that Zerk. Not having that pesky spare tire in the way makes it easier to get to, without raising the backhoe. Of course, it needs to be raised to be properly lubed, but I rarely get the...

So true, Peakbagger, the time to undo the spare is NOT when you need it. Mine fought me quite a bit before it finally came off. Luckily, time was not an issue as I simply wanted it off the SEE, to lose some weight and improve visibility. On a different subject, I think Ahab is onto something...

Not a problem. It's a he. Now, if one day he feels that he's a she, then I might be in trouble.

Not many enough, I'm afraid. Only one lives indoors.

Well, I simply couldn't visualize a logical way to install it in the rear. Other than onto the bottom of the backhoe, in which case it would be dragging in the dirt when moving the SEE with the backhoe in working position. If someone has a better idea, I'm all for learning about it.

Funny you should mention that. I bought one several months ago, but haven't had a chance to install or try it yet. Would've preferred to mount in in the rear, but that doesn't seem feasible so it'll go in the front. Either way, the Mile Markers should work very well, being that they're made to...

Some progress to report, finally. Got to use the crane to unload a 6' snowblower. Finished the battery hold down (painted, but not waxed) and test drove the SEE. Not sure what difference the batteries could've made, but it absolutely purred. That worries me, since vehicles often run really...

Unfortunately, no I don't. But most likely it was a Unimog parts supplier in Oregon, maybe Washington. If you Google "Unimog parts" that outfit should come up. That's how I found it.

Fod, I was looking for filters, too, found them...and found them very expensive. Then, when changing to AW-32 and pulled them out, noticed that they look perfectly reusable. I cleaned them, as needed, and plopped them back in. Those chains are genuine Govt. anti theft devices. Not sure if they...

Skid, there's an Interco tire (Super Swamper) that fits the stock wheels (the measuring rim width is 11 inches, so it's a perfect match) with enough load rating for a SEE. Also, it's a bias tire, which eliminates much of the tire squishiness. I got the wider Pit Bull tires instead since I need...

Nothing a shorter muffler and two 90s couldn't fix, right? I've seen side-inlet mufflers, so maybe relocating the outlet on one could do the trick.

With all the other noises a SEE produces, I'm not even sure they need a muffler. If my exhaust gets creamed, it'll likely become a side exhaust, with or without a muffler. More convenient hookup for critter holes, too.

Not to deprive you from buying a TIG, but why not look at one of the larger exhaust companies' web site and pick something suitable? I'd guess it's a pretty basic muffler. Or, get a band clamp and cover the crack - one of the nice wide ones, like they use on trucks. Along the same lines (aiming...

I'll let Mr. Hood sort that part out. But, we should also be grateful that Scott (of EI fame) spotted this lot and made its existence known. Guess I need to order something to show my gratitude.

And now for something completely different (I'll try to answer you questions this evening, Skidpad). Good news everyone! Or at least for those of us craving a wall chart. General Hood is currently home-bound with what he claims are really nice, laminated, poster size schematics for the SEE...
