Just went out and measured oil dipstick. Overall is 19". Full is 1 3/4" from bottom. Low is 1/4" from bottom. Is your dipstick missing?

I got 2 new batteries from the Interstate. I think they were a little over $200 each, but they bolted right in, all of the cables hooked right up. Also they are very large, so I don't expect to ever have starting problems. I felt the same way about having to build a new way to secure them.

I have 365/80r20. They are great. On road, they help keep the rpms down. The best part, that I wasn't even expecting was how much better it rode and handled. I don't think that was due to size increase, but due to the heavier tires. For me, I don't see any disadvantages to the larger size.

Plus (bonus round) I get to make the SEE into a truly all-terrain tools/support vehicle without the benefit of the weight up top. I'll put forks on the front bucket and pull the trailer behind for loading and transporting logs, building materials, etc... If you do this you will need a weight for...

As profo said the part of the backhoe you would be welding the thumb bracket to is definitely not ductile iron and can easily be welded using normal methods.

I noticed the difference most on the road, however off road was also better. It was unbelievable how much better it got for only changing tires. As I said before, it drove like there were no shocks before changing the tires. They fit perfectly on the stock wheel and no clearance issues other...

I thought mine needed shocks too. As someone said, tire pressure makes a huge difference. I tried them at the pressure on the tire sidewall, I think it was 50 or 55 and handling was better. Then I changed my tires to 365/80r20 xzl, which is a much heavier tire. The scary bouncing and wandering...

There is a dome light right above the windshield. The wires came down through the driver side of the cab right next to the windshield. You should be able to see where they come out behind the hazard switch by removing the defrost duct.

If you want to get the top off of the transmission, you will be tilting the cab. No way around it. Once it is tilted, everything is easy. Had mine tilted for injector pump work.

Thank you. Still trying to decide what size tires to run. 12.5r20 xl sidewalls don't look very impressive.

I was hoping they would fit without removing the front fenders.

Wondering if 365/80r20 Michelin xzl will fit on flu419. Also if anyone has done it, pics would be appreciated. Thanks.

Pump plungers were also stuck on mine. Replaced injection pump with new one. Runs great now.

Anyone know if exhaust parts are available for these?

Yes it does. Working on wiring repair right now. Same critter that chewed wiring under dash on others got to mine also. Not too bad though. Mostly wiring for warning lights, and tach. Could have been worse. Fuel system cleaning

Sounds just like mine. Really weird smell, almost like old gas. Did run, but not well, so I drained and filled with fresh fuel and additives. Strainer looks the same. Fuel will barely go through it. Is that from your parts truck or the crane truck?

Finally got it yesterday. Looks really good. Now I just have to get it running. Fuel smells a little funny. Who knows how long this thing has been sitting! 500 miles and 320hrs since 1988.

No plans for high speed. Just around town. Mostly back roads. Still waiting for it to get picked up. Apparently it can only get picked up Monday- Wednesday. Waiting is no fun.

Can't get any pictures until it get here. I am hoping maybe the end of next week. It was not running, hopefully it's not too bad. It looked to be all there. Only thing I saw missing was the spare tire.

Good to know. Should get mine delivered in a week or so. Find out what I have gotten myself into!
