    Another what goes here question for Flu419

    Flu Farm that is a good looking collection. I like the trencher, don't need it but sure do like it. All I have is a SEE and a skid steer. Wife says no more toys.

    FLU419 SEE HMMH HME Owners group

    Yes, There are 2 of them. Cheap from EI. The way I did mine was stuff a small rag in the hole to catch cuttings. Did /does it have the small pins in the side of the neck of the trans? If so remove them. There is a thread on here telling how to do that. I "lightly ground"(flat spotted) the side...

    FLU419 SEE HMMH HME Owners group

    While you have it all apart and are putting it back together, don't forget the new shift bushing-both of them. Very easy to do on the bench, not so easy in the truck.

    What is it? Loader/Backhoe?

    NDT, that is it. It's not the HMEE. Sorry I don't know how to move pics around to here. Guyfang I think that(HMEE) is gonna be the next 'SEE' type machine to be sold from Uncle Sam in 10-15 yrs. to the public.

    What is it? Loader/Backhoe?

    Seen a loader/backhoe on a GSA site for sale(auction) today. What is it called? Ours is a FLU419 or a 'SEE'. This is a Case W-14 with a backhoe built on back. Tag says for the Navy. Tag is very hard to read all of it. I have never seen one before. Has anyone seen such a critter before? Sorry...

    cylinder seal replacement

    Lots of WD40 or what ever you like, some kind of drift pin and a large hammer. Some of them came out easy and some had to beat out like crazy. When I did mine I removed pins first before taking seal end apart, that way I could use truck power to move ram(s) as needed to take bind off of machine...

    cylinder seal replacement

    I bought my wrench on Ebay and it works fine. It works on the small and large sizes. All my cylinders have a small screw in them holding the gland from moving. Redid all my cylinders that were leaking( a few were pouring) on the machine. Of course you have to take the top pin out, sometimes a...

    Why or Why not to buy a SEE Small Equipment Excavator?

    Flu Farm just 2 weeks ago they had a auction and got rid of 29. Lowest $ was 9K, highest was just a little over 18K. This was fro RRAD at Hooks. I watched for the whole thing and even owned some for about 10 seconds before someone else bid higher than mine.

    Why or Why not to buy a SEE Small Equipment Excavator?

    M35Fan, These also come in the cool color of Sand Summer Tan. I love mine(green). Had a tan one, but it was such a project I ended up selling it after I bought my green one. My grandkids always want a ride when use it for anything. Now the downfall is, you will end up working on this machine by...

    FLU-419 fuel question - part above filter housing

    If you don't have to have a military switch(function vs. form), EBAY has alot of different cutoff/master switches. I would use the style like on a Cat. loader/doizer from the 80's. I put a battery isolater switch on my travel trailer so I could cutoff the battery instead of having to disconnect...

    Title Regis. in Texas

    I am not opposed to machinery plates. Just need to call the RRAD on Monday about the SF-97. It might be worth the try, no pain no gain. No it didn't come from Govplanet but a different gov auction house.
