Yikes! At that price, it makes me want to look into using a common transfer case lever boot for a Spicer 18 instead. Also, it's possible that PETA could have an issue with sealing up what seems to be the doggy door for rodents on a SEE.

So would I, if I had a way to pay for one.

And here I thought that all Hummers were dropped like that, which is why they're so flat.

You got that right! I had to use a hydraulic jack (in essence a press, using the HMMH as a weight over the floor) to get the door skin on the HMMH straightened out. Another way could be with an air chisel. I modified one bit (tie rod separator) into a mushroom shape and it works fairly well...

Edit: This was in response to the question about 10W or AW32, but my attempt at quoting didn't stick. Can't say that I ever thought to check what was in there. Just like with the engine oil, no matter how clean it may look, out it comes and known oil of my choice goes in. At the very least...

Skid, I made some progress on the quick attach. Hopefully the pic will be helpful for when you start your cutting, welding, and grinding. Tomorrow I should get to try it for fit and function, then a bit of grinding before paint. Heck, I might even wax it, in honor of General Hood.

I don't think that those plates and numbers are called bridge plates, but you find them on most any military vehicle. EDIT: My bad, they are indeed called bridge plates. Be that as it may, I would be very interested in buying what appears to be a narrow bucket seen in the background. If you...

Those mirrors look like regular GM tripod and camper mirrors to me. Maybe not OE, but the cheaper aftermarket ones. You should be able to find those at NAPA, or just about any auto parts store. I'm busily replacing the passenger side ones with something more useful, but that's because I'm fond...

I recall reading that there were 2,800 FLU419s made, and 290 FLU10344s. What I didn't remember was to recommend that you PM me for Cody's phone number when you need a SEE shipped. He brought my latest shipment and is familiar with the vehicles and has lots of experience with transporting...

Ah, you found our own General Hood. Except on eBay.

Can't speak for the General, but in my case that'd be a 140-mile drive. One way. I'm guessing that his situation may not be much better. But Greyhound is indeed a good way to get some items shipped. I got a hardtop (for a car) from St.Louis, MO, that way, and it arrived in great shape.

Welcome to the crazy world of FLUs, MSMOG. And yes, do give the old batteries a try, starting with low amperage and for a long time. Several days, if not weeks. Desulfation would be very helpful, too. Generally I have had good luck with battery revival, but the two that came in my (formerly)...

Thanks for that suggestion, Mr. SEE. Looked at the strainer a couple of days ago, which has been soaking in gasoline for months, and it looks no different than when I put it in there. White vinegar is now on the shopping list.

In either case, I would look at the date code before buying. With radials' limited life span (whether they're being used or not) I always buy the youngest tires possible.

Peakbagger, I have the screw(ed) type pump, but since it seems to be working well enough, it can remain in place for now. For a counterweight, I planned on using the backhoe's lower mounts and the "tow tab" to make a 3-point setup of sorts and hang something heavy on it. Yes, it will add a bit...

Stubbornness, FOD, stubbornness. I had given up, too, but decided to try the priming/bleeding procedure a few more times before calling it a day. It was getting dark, and I didn't want to spend the night awake, wondering what was wrong. About the only tip I can give you is that I filled the...

Go ahead and shudder, Skid. I cleaned out over a mile of irrigation ditches with the SEE. Of course, cleaning them out (although I doubled the depth in most parts) is different than digging one out from scratch. And that the ground is largely flat doesn't much matter when straddling existing...

Skid, that Titan piece is near perfect for our loaders. At least I never found anything affordable that would match it. Still, it's a good idea to check it for being square and straight. One end on mine was a bit off, but not in a way that matters. And once everything is installed, that...

Hey, that one has privileges - it gets to stay in the house. For now, anyway. Some progress to report today, of interest to those who like the idea of a quick attach adapter on the loader. It still needs a few minor tweaks, and finish welding, but it all seems to work. If the snowblower will...
