Hello Gents, yes I had two have a slow leak and they need some tweaking. I did note the screws on the faceplate were not all original and that may be part of the issue. The boy said he'd print up some thicker ones so once spring gets here I'll try those out to make sure they work. Also I'll...

So I chased down the NSN number for both the hydraulic tank sightglass and the combined sight glass and Gasket NSN. Like many such searches I got nowhere. Each of my tanks had begun to weep both the hydraulic fluid, and the oil the gov put in those tanks and lines. Basically looked like this...

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!

patrol578, That's a lot different than my experience this winter with the drill. For starters I had the 2 or three bits that came with the machine and used the smaller one too. I think a 1 1/4 or close to that. I have all kinds of rocks thanks to the Laurentide Ice Sheet 35K years ago. I...

I bet several people that do not have major issues spend time Lurking in the threads both prior too and during ownership. I know I did. It is a great resource for folks like me with less experience on the mechanical side of things. Show some pics of the work if you get a chance! Also PICS of...

Good luck UniMatt, "running" may mean different things to different people but I too also figured at least the brakes would be good if one were to say Running.. Unless they are very literal and meant running but not Stopping! Either way take some pics and feel free to explain how complicated...

Welcome to the Affliction!! Lots of great info around here and good people with some notable mechanical talent. Many issues have been diagnosed and well explained so feel free to put up pics and dive in.

WELL said Peakbagger. I am in agreement with what i consider the rest of the SEE purchases and subsequent "dysfunctional" resales to be , commercial included!. A lot of people (myself) in over their head ( "shade tree mechanics" )when purchasing from G-Planet or elsewhere with regards to...

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...
