If was not sitting, there could still be pressure on the back side of the piston although not likely. The vent was completely plugged which makes the cylinder go in a little until air leaks by the piston and makes the cylinder extend. I was able to remove the cylinder from under the back of the...

After it has been sitting for a while start it up and activate the 4 wheel drive switch while someone watches the cylinder. if the cylinder goes in and then back out you may have the same problem as mine. there is a vent on the cylinder. you may have to take the cylinder off to see it...

When did this start? No loading was available when I got mine. Had to hire a wrecker.

Mine did not work. The vent hole on the actuator cylinder had been painted over. When you actuate 4 wheel drive switch while watching the cylinder, it went in, then back out as the air went by the packings. Chipped off the paint and it works perfect. The cylinder can be seen from the driver...

I noticed the same thing when I changed my tires. It is unbelievable how much of the poor road manners is due to the stock tires.

I also removed my tank by just taking off the straps.

When you say softened up, what do you use for springs? I am guessing you just remove the giant sway bars?

The pressure gauge is for filter restriction, not tank pressure.

my rear turn signals had problems. Turned the switch back and forth fast for a minute and it must have cleaned the contacts. Now it works perfectly.

I'd gladly give up the seldom used high range for a lower low range, if there is such an option. How about it, you gear heads (no pun intended) out there, is there a relatively simple and affordable way to get lower gearing in a SEE? If so, having it both on the SEE and the HMMH would be most...

I cleaned my tank. when I removed the sender there was a screen on the pickup line.

I got new drain valves from expedition imports I believe. They were cheap, maybe $8 each.

Just went out and measured oil dipstick. Overall is 19". Full is 1 3/4" from bottom. Low is 1/4" from bottom. Is your dipstick missing?

I got 2 new batteries from the Interstate. I think they were a little over $200 each, but they bolted right in, all of the cables hooked right up. Also they are very large, so I don't expect to ever have starting problems. I felt the same way about having to build a new way to secure them.

I have 365/80r20. They are great. On road, they help keep the rpms down. The best part, that I wasn't even expecting was how much better it rode and handled. I don't think that was due to size increase, but due to the heavier tires. For me, I don't see any disadvantages to the larger size.

Plus (bonus round) I get to make the SEE into a truly all-terrain tools/support vehicle without the benefit of the weight up top. I'll put forks on the front bucket and pull the trailer behind for loading and transporting logs, building materials, etc... If you do this you will need a weight for...

As profo said the part of the backhoe you would be welding the thumb bracket to is definitely not ductile iron and can easily be welded using normal methods.

I noticed the difference most on the road, however off road was also better. It was unbelievable how much better it got for only changing tires. As I said before, it drove like there were no shocks before changing the tires. They fit perfectly on the stock wheel and no clearance issues other...

I thought mine needed shocks too. As someone said, tire pressure makes a huge difference. I tried them at the pressure on the tire sidewall, I think it was 50 or 55 and handling was better. Then I changed my tires to 365/80r20 xzl, which is a much heavier tire. The scary bouncing and wandering...

There is a dome light right above the windshield. The wires came down through the driver side of the cab right next to the windshield. You should be able to see where they come out behind the hazard switch by removing the defrost duct.
