Hey, that was easy...I remembered the name (Just Dashes) and they're still in business. 5941 Lemona Avenue Van Nuys, CA 91411 818 780-9005 Monday thru Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 (PST)

Alright, I'll see if I can dig it up.

If you guys are interested, I can try to find out what the place I used is called. Did a magazine story on it, so I should be able to find it in the binders.

I had one done in the San Fernando Valley, in CA, but that was quite some time ago. Excellent result. I would imagine that there are still places that do such jobs.

Ouch! Makes having the stock dash rebuilt sound like a real bargain.

Got a chance to load the trailer today. I can almost guarantee that it'd been faster to pick these things up one by one with the tractor, and move them to a spot about a quarter mile away than it was to use the HMMH and trailer. Especially since the sketchy ramps used to cross the ditch had to...

And one of several I moved out of there. It's still legal do do so, but who knows for how long that'll last? On a lighter note, today's fun and games was to move some broken tree branches to the side of the ditch where I can get to them and put them in the dump trailer. Never imagined that an...

You're lucky. Just imagine if you'd lived in California. If so, you could've ended up in jail for possession of contraband. Although, the sunglasses might still be legal, even there.

Don't remember if both of mine are the same year, but they are the same color. It's still easy to tell them apart as one is more of an evil twin.

Dave unfortunately only has flat wheel centers, which won't fit a SEE without using wheel spacers. Red Barn's website shows flat center wheels, too. Losing the hub centric function of the wheel is not something I'm willing to do. So for now, my choices seem to be Stazworks or widened stock wheels.

Congratulations! Seems like you, too, find them somewhat addictive.

Just got an email confirming that my 39x16.5x20 Pitbull Rocker tires are on their way. I have run the Pitbull Rockers on my Jeep since they first came out, and I'm extremely happy with them. With the wider tread the SEE won't sink as much on soft ground, and being bias ply, the sidewalls are...

Interesting. I had not come across that one. Maybe with the high ground pressure of a SEE, that tire could work. Based on my experience with commercial tread on tractors, the traction is pretty dismal compared to a regular R-1 Ag tire. They'll last a lot longer on pavement, though.

Hmm, that sounds like a feasible idea for winter "tires" for me. Would tear up the pastures too much when things aren't frozen.

In reality, that pic was probably from when I removed it. Not that it matters, but it was obviously trickier to reinstall than to remove. I'd strongly suggest using adjustable height rigging for the reinstall so that you can raise and lower each end independently. Even if it's off the same tree...

I'm about to call a place that (most likely) can and will build a set of 20x14 wheels for me, but want to be sure that I can get my hands on the tires of choice first.

Ouch. I've had a number of rubber valve stems go bad over the past year, but none of the "real ones"...yet. I guess you needed the breaker bar for the lug nuts. I was so glad I'd bought the hydraulic impact, and could put it to good use when changing out the flat tire. The only thing which...

Getting it to the ground is the easy part. I removed my spare for (much) better visibility, and lucked out when getting a flat - it was only about 75 feet from where the spare was stored. But I'd think that it would be possible to use the backhoe to lift the spare back into position, using some...

The fun part was getting that lump of a cylinder back in position. At the time I didn't have the HMMH, or the other SEE, to use for lifting it. But luckily, my home built "Sky hook" and the tractor helped make the job fairly easy. I wouldn't even try to do it alone without some sort of lifting...

There's two of them that raises the idle, Brian. The one back by the backhoe, and the one next to the work light switch. The latter should activate your hoses.
