Those are called PAR 33 lights, if memory serves me, and I really like the idea of turning the worklights into headlights. They may be a bit over legal height, but unlike the regular headlights they could actually be useful since the light wouldn't have to try penetrating loader arms, hoses, and...

I've wondered about that, too, not wanting to potentially waste half a can. As I recall, it's supposed to seal up when removed, but... In the SEE there's usually a pleasant whiff of ether every time it's started, so it may have the rare fully automatic option. Then again, it often smells of...

If things get that bad, I'm expecting to have to surrender not just the second ripper, but the SEE it came in, too. And dozens of other possessions. Lucked out big time on the first one as it came with pretty much everything, the second one had only a lonely ripper. Neither HMMH had anything...

So that's where the ripper is supposed to live? Mine were both laying loose in the rear box. Switched indicator lights between the PTO and 4WD must be common. Mine's like that, too, but since it's very rare that I run the light switch with anything turned on, it doesn't bother me. Easier to...

Ah, that looks like the kind of pivoting winch mount I had in mind. Maybe a project for next year, but I'll likely mount the winch on the vehicle itself, then use a snatch block on the bucket - or crane, if it ends up on the HMMH.

You're asking the wrong guy, Ahab. To me they're simply "deer". Something the cats like to stalk.

The easy way to make LED lighting work on a Ram is to order the VSIM. Aside from allowing LED use, there's wig-wag functions for head and taillights and a whole lot (well over 100) other useful, somewhat useful, and useless (to me) functions available. A bit late for you, but the last three I...

Maybe wildlife likes 7,500 feet? That happens to be the elevation where I live, too. And I like it. One thing I learned to dislike today is trying to run 3/4-inch hydraulic hose under a SEE, the length of it, rear to front. Every time I thought I had a decent routing through all the stuff...

Yeah, it could come in handy some day to be able to club a deer with a 2-foot pipe, or open the sliding door and shoot an elk at 30 yards while laying in bed. Oh, and by the way (so to speak) long sections of Route 66 are undoing themselves.

I think that whether a winch can be used for "vertical" pulls or not depends on how it's mounted. and which kind it is. A Warn 8274, for example, doesn't have anything preventing a vertical pull. Especially if the solenoid box is moved (since there's no law against not using a fairlead, yet...

If you bought it directly, it's a safe bet that it's 10W. If you got it from somewhere else, it's anybody's guess what's in there - well, my guess is that it's 10W which may or may not have had THF added to it, since few of us have 10W laying around. Oil analysis would provide the best answer...

Hey, good plan. I have a couple of flatfender Jeeps we could use.

The more I think about it, the more likely it seems that "General Hood" really should be "General Foods". And he now needs a parts SEE to provide enough food.

You're kidding, right? After feeding them various oils, filters, and lots of grease, they still need fuel?!?

I bought some Fresh Cab today, based on earlier recommendations. Should we end up at Hood's place, I will come armed with lots of it, plus traps, poison, a .22, and whatever else I might need to keep his rodents away from my machine.

Alright, here's one for peakbagger or speedwoble who seems to have answers for most anything. Inspired by General Hoods success, today I decided to finally perform the simple task of replacing the battery disconnect switch. Only two bolts and two wires, easy enough, right? NOT! I can see the...

Completely off any subject, except the aforementioned sleep deprivation, how about a SEE meet sometime in the spring or summer? It looks like there is quite a few of us within a 400 or so mile radius. I'm sure that General Hood wouldn't mind if we met up at his place, for example, and had few...

I put a shackle in that eyelet, should I need to lift something at close range and/or very heavy. Never imagined turning into a winch mount. Thought more about how to use a regular winch with the HMMH last night (that's how I stay sleep deprived) and came to the conclusion that a second snatch...

Bison, it hurts my hands, too, but while I have a "cordless" grease gun I prefer feeling how/if the grease goes in. If there's a winch mount on the crane, I've missed it. But the good news is that most electric winches share a common bolt pattern. I'm guessing that they don't want you to use a...

First of all, congratulations to General Hood for waking up his slumbering SEE! 911joeblow, I measured the hose, and that female is about 0.564" ID, with a 16 TPI thread, or close to it (hard to measure that small inside thread). But it sure doesn't look like NPT by a long shot. And with an...
