I could hire the work done for what those would have cost me to own. However, they would have been welcome additions to my 2 SEE's tool boxes

Over $700 a couple hours before the auction closed. I didn't check the winning bid

At that cost, "deal" is not the first word coming to mind.

Is it a Stanley Typ PD-45-5132 ? If you only can purchase a lot off for a reasonable Price, we really could use one, too.View attachment 676620
Kinda wanted these hydraulic post drivers, but not for the price they went for today. Maybe a lot more of these will come available and a man can get one at a reasonable price

General Hood, there is another option for driving posts with your SEE. Push them down with the bucket.
Although I fully understand why you don't like that method...it does scratch the paint on the bottom of the bucket.

Did you get it figured out?? FWIW, I would go with what's in the manual. Assuming the paper one you are using contains all of the changes, it should be correct. I would think (hope?) that over the course of the 20 years these trucks were in service, a mistake that big in the manual would have been caught and corrected.

Not sure if this is the right place to post this, there are 3 FLU419's (that are salvage parts only) that are up for auction near me in Pineville, LA at the beginning of May. They look like Godzilla chewed on them and spit them out. I guess if you needed parts, these might be for you. The three at the very bottom of this link: http://www.govliquidation.com/events?cmd=details&event=40713 and it looks like 3 more for sale in Guam, in much better shape, but someone would have to go get them, http://www.govplanet.com/jsp/s/search.ips?sm=0&m=Freightliner&md=FLU419

As an FYI, this is in the forum rules, even though I like hearing about stuff like this
Auction Postings:
Please abide by the following rules concerning the posting of auction information in the forums:
• Do NOT post about future or current GL/GP(GovPlanet)/GSA/eBay (including items for sale in buy-it-now formats)/local/city/state/Federal/estate auctions. You may post about any auction after the auction is closed.
• Do not post links to auction photos.
• Do not post links to GL/GP(GovPlanet)/GSA(or other sites)that have links that quit working after a short period of time. Save the image to your PC and then attach it to your post.
• Do NOT post links to current eBay auctions or Craig's List ads that are not your own. You may post a link to your own auction/ad only if it is in an information/discussion thread about your vehicle/item. Do not start a post in the Conversations forum or your vehicle specific forum just to announce your auction/ad.

I do not wish to offend anyone as I am an admin for a very large forum myself, I should have known better. This is forum is running on phpBB or vBulletin or something similar is it not? Where is the option to delete my own post? I can't find it so please move the topic to the Classifieds thread. Or just delete it. My apologies again.

I can't be offended, just ask Flu Farm
. Personally, I like hearing about stuff coming up for auction that I might have overlooked or missed. I'm not an admin, just a guy that enjoys the forum, and glad to have you as part of the grouppeakbagger

I think we are all tempted on occasion to share the good news about auctions but the rules are the rules. On rare occasions there has been an after the bid has closed post to discuss the outcome which is allowed. I remember one such post after the "unicorn" of 419s, the trencher, showed up on Ebay. It didn't sell but I expect a lot of folks wanted to know the rest of the story.
I haven't seen an option to delete a post but you can always edit the prior post. I would leave the original text and add an explanation similar to General Hood did. Might save someone else from doing it.
Incidentally, someone who is far more knowledgeable on 419s (and who maintains a serial number listing)speculated that from the markings on the trencher that was for sale that it may have been one of the prototypes reassigned to another government agency.

It wasn't Godzilla, but when GP gets a new forklift driver they usually let them practice on SEEs. Eventually they get really good at operating the forklift, which is why we see such gingerly treated SEEs offered for sale.
