OK, not a task FLU worthy, or at the far reaches of capability, but I did use my SEE for work today shuttling a few dozen potted Peony plants and day lilies out to the forest edge. I tucked the Wheel barrow on the bucket and headed out to "dig" or move rocks, more accurately, all day. I felt...

You are CORRECT Sir! it is a strainer and not a filter. I believe i have changed a few of these already and left them in a jar somewhere thinking i could use them again. So i guess i have extras now?? I did change the actual filter but the nomenclature was clearly lost on me this time, figured...

I want to hear what is up with the air system! I had a power waning and engine stoppage this year too. Surely it happened as i ran the fuel filter for more than a year without change, much gunk is an understatement. Although for science's sake I washed the old filter in fresh diesel and voila...

So Maine had a bit of a dry spell and pretty high temps recently. I have installed a gravity drip irrigation of sorts on fruit trees but my rain catchment that feeds the system was depleted pretty quick. I do have alternate water accessible and ran an extension cord (or 2) and aquarium pump...

If only there were a search tab on a realty site just past ACREAGE choices that said NEIGHBORS 1. quiet 2. aloof and mysterious 3. chronic borrowers or 4. Have Badass Machinery and eclectic tastes in obscure projects. I KNOW which option I'd pick!! As of now I am a guy with a MOG to rescue...

i may have missed it (doubt it) but you should do a snow blowing video with that set up! That would be pretty cool, just saying

Very nice views!

Oh man I gotta think about that...….that's potentially a dangerous route for me. I've gone a bit too far tweaking things before. Although if any machine deserves to be more out of the ordinary than a regular backhoe its the FLU. Perhaps thread some pool balls to replace the lever handles? A...

I should have know!! Thought the seat was riding a bit high. Just as the boom almost latches, the controls hit and the bucket starts to extend and then the stabilizer!! Sooooo close but not functional for closing with the seat . The up side is the seat does slide off its track and I can...

I messed up the price its 59.50 I think free shipping too. I had to drill some hole but still a good fit. I need to check tomorrow that everything still folds down but don't anticipate a problem. Although I got that titan 32'' weld on thumb and am hesitatnt to put it on after some of the...

Nothing crazy to report with SEE work but put a new seat on to do some more work soon. Old seat rusted and as I was repositioning with bucket it caved in on itself and clearly I needded a new seat. About $59.90 free shipping with back and forth adjustment. I will fold the backhoe tomorrow to...

Went to the mulch pile today then drove about 30 MPH home:mrgreen:

I'm not including pictures in here as even in a self deprecating manner its almost TOO ridiculous. BUT I have since used the "DEADLY" method/maneuver to get out of two other mud hole messes completely of my own doing and since FLU farm didn't beat me to it I'm making an acronym!!! D-driving...

Great minds think alike!!! I had an extra strap on the boom stick through the driver side window and gave it a few tugs while trying to drive forward. I figured maybe the "Hopping" motion of the front wheels from the leverage of the boom might free things up. Then I decided that waiting a few...

So I got off to an early start this year and the Mogs fired up with one prime from winter dormancy. Very excited about that. Only hiccup was a week later . When I went to restart Mog 1 (Battery on, key turned, throttle out and pushed starter), not so much as a click. I spent a while chasing...

Now That's Handy! no need to switch the bucket out either:smile:

Very Handy indeed!

This and I'm an Off road vehicle so I can run the home heating oil at the pump. I'm told thats a bit cleaner than On road Diesel. Also I blew both spares from Mog 1 and 2 and then bought 6 Pirellis and mounted two ready to go for what I thought would be blowout number 3. I haven't had any...

Winter Stuff!! So I was helping a buddy out till I got his plow truck Stuck! On his lawn/driveway to boot. So as it was late and dark (and I was out of ideas) I resolved to solve the issue the next morning and went home I threw the electric magnetic exterior oil pan heater on for the...

I want to pretend I'm more than a shade tree mechanic here but I opted for refilling the denatured alcohol and setting it on winter "I" setting and 3 minutes later 4x4 and diff rock are back on line. These things are beasts!!!..☺
