Congratulations! Now you can start (no pun intended) using the screwdriver for other things. And being 20 gal. short will definitely give you nice and low blood pressure. Which can be helpful when working on certain vehicles. All I got done today was reinstalling the formerly bent axle locating...

Yeah, 60+30 is indeed only 90, but if Gadget also decides to add the Lucas Super Coolant stuff he mentioned, there has to be some room left for it, right? Why the over 50/50 mix I don't understand, though. We get down to -20 at times, and I can get by with 30% anti freeze, if memory serves me...

It shouldn't be clear, not in Ohio. Yes, you need the necessary additives to keep the water pump happy everywhere, but you also need freeze protection. For now, dump what's in there and and add regular anti freeze of your choice in the percentage needed for your area. You can always replace it...

Alright, how about Minnie MEE, then?

I have yet to change coolant, so I haven't given it any thought. Not sure if the SEE likes the diesel truck type with all the additives, or is fine with regular coolant. There's always the choice between regular (of either kind) and long-life, but I don't think that's what you were asking about...

Ron, I hope you're right. There's plenty of evidence that rodents had planned to make a cozy home in my parts SEE, but so far I haven't found any damage. Lots of twigs and other debris, though. It could be that they picked mine to live in, and used yours and a few others to dine out in. Nah, I...

Hope you didn't have your SEE schematic in front of you on the table.

For those who haven't had the pleasure to hear the warning buzzer, it's LOUD. I ended up disconnecting mine as I didn't always remember to bring ear protection. As far as I know, it only shrieks until the air pressure is up to legal standards, but that's plenty long enough. If it does alert for...

To have some dexterity and be able to fit into tight spaces, you really need to throw the gauntlet. (Not wear'em.)

Well, given the option, I'd probably go for open center. It just seems kinder to the hydraulic system not to have it deadhead. Then again, maybe it's not. It could build even more heat. Now I need to look at the other tools (like yours, my impact is FWD or REV only) and see if there are any...

Never gave it a thought. I've simply plugged mine in and used them. Well, after pulling the "Tool" switch to make that circuit operational. Do we have a choice?

That looks like even more of a smoking deal than what I got on the parts-SEE.

My day was (eventually) better than Ron's, so my lack-of-progress report actually includes some progress. Following my own advice and using a small wire brush on the cordless drill to de-paint the last bolt, and resorting to leg power on the 2-foot 3/4-inch drive ratchet, the second axle...

It'd be nice if the paint flaked off the fasteners, instead of in all the places where I would rather have it stay put.

Funny you should mention that. Well, not really, but not even trying to get rid of the paint on the visible part of bolts before removing them is why I only got one of the axle locating links off yesterday. It's also most likely why the captive nuts on the hydraulic oil cooler became...

Searched again, this time for "24 volt Spal fan", but the closest that came up was a photo-less 12-incher...at close to $90. Since I've already ordered the thick, surplus one, maybe it's a good thing nothing better came up. My guess is that you now have a functional spare fan...which may not fit...

Thanks! I looked around a bit today and after seeing the prices for "regular" ones I, too, decided to check on eBay. There's one listing with what looks like a good replacement. Surplus, no less, but those might be too thick. Guess it'll cost $55 to find out if one of those will fit or not. And...

I can believe that. Although, if I had to split wood, I'd use an axe. On a different subject, when you replaced your fans, what make and model (and diameter) did you end up with?

Sounds like you have much more sanity to work with than I do these days.
