Hello, haven’t posted on here in some time busy building my house. Last year I replaced the rear axle on the 419 due to 2wd not working, bought the axle from a man in Colorado, axle was still in original vacuum wrap from factory. Mechanic missed diagnosed the problem come to find out there were...

We contracted a company of of Roosevelt, Utah to cut the logs, saddle, and cope them. He went through and cut what we need and it is up to us to put it together. So it is a cross between a kit and home build. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Slowly building my house, jerry rigged a extension bar that attaches to where the rock ripper attaches. Works well, a lot easier lifting the logs with the backhoe then with my back. Keep you all up to date on how it is going.

Had the same problem while pushing snow, took me 45mins to go 800yds. Change the primary fuel filter, primed the system and didnt have any more problems. So check the primary fuel filter/change it. “Student, you do not study to pass the test. You study to prepare for the day when you are the...

Out and about using the “toad” for majority of the task at the farm. Gotta love driving through 16 inchs of snow with a tree in tow.

Yes, I am saying that. You cannot remove the protective case that covers the drive shaft while it is still attached to the axle. To remove the protective cover you have to drop the axle and drive shaft together. Then you can slide the protective cover off the drive shaft. “Student, you do not...

If I remember correctly it was a absolute pain to do it, you have to have the driveshaft plus torque tube due to them not being able to separate when trying to mount or dismount the unit. It was best to come from the top, remove the knuckle housing and have a ratchet with a knuckle joint to...

I have been looking at Michelin XZL and Continental MPT 81, is there another company out there, or is there a tire that you would suggest? Thanks, also if anyone has a spare rim for a flu 419 that they have no need for, I am...

Hey f800, have you tried locking SEE into 4x4 and operating it? On my FLU I had the 6 bolts that connect the transmission output shaft to the driveshaft. All 6 had worked loose then snapped on me, same result as you. I could get into all of the gears but wouldnt go any where until I engaged the...

Well come on over for some fun in the dirt and some food, if you ever get bored of NM swing on up. Born an raised back east so hospitality is superb, plus the tea is fantastic! We have just shy of 500acres of a play ground, lot of work to be done and fun to be had. Keep you all informed of all...

Joshua N, living in southeastern Utah, purchased my 419 little over 6 months ago for working on the farm. It is a 1987 flu419 not sure what the frame number is but will work on getting it. Currently working on making a full size snow plow, 3 point receiver, forks for moving pallets and hay. I...
