    The rear hydraulics will run a low pressure skid steer snowblower, but as you mentioned, the SEE will go a bit fast when the 'blower is at an efficient rpm. That's one reason I got a skid steer to run that snow blower instead. Been meaning to put a receiver below the pintle hook, but like many...

    FLU 419 High Engine Oil Pressure

    It's rare that someone complains about the oil pressure being too high, in anything. But if it used to be low, maybe due to dilution, and is now what it should be, I'd be happy.

    I bet you wish you had a 12-inch bucket for digging that trench. There's a reason I put one on the former Winter SEE. Anyway, for that rock, I'd dig out around it enough to put a chain around it and pull it out of the hole. Yeah, it may take a few attempts, but that's still a lot easier than...

    Unimog 404.1 with pertronix ignition, and coil

    I've never checked if they do make 24 Volt versions, but you may want to find out. And why couldn't you feed the Pertronics 12 volts from a relay? That's how I made the 12 volt shut-off solenoid on my M1008 work with 24.

    Speaking of (formerly) leaky cylinders...almost forgot to mention that the forklift is alive and well again, after finally getting the 3-stage cylinder back from intensive care, and installed.

    That's funny, Ron. I knew exactly what was going on with the high rpm before reading through your post. I was not so funny when it happened to me when starting the first one on the trailer when it got here, since I had no clue how these things work. Also, you may want to leave the outrigger...

    I ran a 3/4-inch impact off the wet tank on the Pete, maybe five gallons worth. No, I couldn't do all 10 lug nuts in quick succession, but it worked well enough. Hose size and compressor output seems more important than tank size. Also, not all pneumatic impacts are created the same. Can't...

    I liked my 3/4-inch version enough to also buy a 1-inch. The 3/4 was NOS and quite affordable, but the 1-incher was bought used. Either one is great, but I wouldn't use the heavy and cumbersome 1-inch if the 3/4 would do the job. Either way, your 40 gallon tank is likely not the issue. A good...

    I would leave them dry, as intended. Whatever you put on there is likely to attract dirt, and it's doubtful that you'll have to remove those pins again anyway. If anything, machine them down a few thousands in diameter if they're a tight press fit. Slop doesn't matter in that application. On...

    Once you get one of them out it's easy enough to drive the other one out with a drift. Just don't use a large one and risk mushrooming the inside, too. And the outrigger must obviously be well supported for the hammer blows to be effective. Worst case, start drilling through the remains and...

    I fought a pin on the backhoe bucket much like your situation. I think the trials and tribulations were documented in the owner's thread. Anyway, I never resorted to heating anything, but did apply 50/50 ATF and acetone over a few days. Also, to avoid mushrooming the pin, and to create a way to...

    Now that I know how to do it, after a fair amount of experimentation, it's quite easy. Basically, remove the spiral snap ring at the top and drive the rod out of the plate. Next I'd remove the hose from the bottom, which is relatively easily accessible at any time during the procedure. Next I...

    Alright, I did finally succeed in removing the 3-stage cylinder. While it's in the hospital getting resealed I'll tackle that uncooperative outrigger again.

    Anyone here that has (successfully) removed the 3-stage cylinder from an HMMH's forklift? That thing is fighting me. Makes trying to figure out why a SEE's outrigger won't retract seem easy in comparison.

    FLU 419 help!

    In your case, no. But they should, since as you can see in the little junction box, they're wired in paralell.

    Never did try if a 419 implement would fit, but what was on my MB 4-94 sure looked the same. Think I even measured a couple of distances just to see if they were the same. Haven't removed a backhoe yet, but as I recall, the rear mounts also looked a lot like a 419's. Makes sense since this...

    Should be standard Stanley stuff. If the jackhammer is also a Stanley, which I don't remember.

    Battery switch question

    That's because you didn't turn the ignition off first, like you're supposed to. After shutting the engine off, obviously. By any chance, did you turn the master switch off with the engine running?

    Battery switch question

    Wish I had that problem, instead of the opposite. One of mine doesn't want to complete the circuit like it should. Anyway, spray a penetrant of your choice (as long as it isn't WD-40) down the hole and see if it frees things up.
