Yeah, the tank and hose were taken from a tan FLU. I'm not hooking it up again as (so far) I've never had one freeze up even without any alcohol injection. It helps that it's dry here, and rarely gets down to -20. What did surprise me was how much oil was in the system. Guess that's a result...

Since the unloader valve on the remaining HMMH had been acting up for quite a while, when it quit completely it was time to do something. Didn't feel like spending some $200 just to see if the valve was indeed the problem, but found what seemed like a good replacement for under $40 on Amazon...

And now there's only one. Yesterday the nice one started it's journey to it's new owner in Texas, a Steel Soldiers member.

Same here, weeks or several months. Actually started one the other day that had been parked for several years, without priming it first. But, it was different when I had all the air leaks in the system on the Summer SEE. Once familiar with what all Bel-Metric has to offer and had replaced some...

Thanks, Fixer. And now you may understand why I'm not married. Same girlfriend for many years though, and she has as many toys as I do. Just generally more expensive ones, and not as useful.

Realized that I screwed up. This was supposed to be posted here on the owner's thread. And....screwed up again. Was asked not to post for sale stuff here, and delete the post.

Alright, I need some garage space and have decided to let one HMMH and the HME go. Figured I'd let the "family" here get a chance first, before advertising them for the world to see. Both are fairly well crammed into the garage, so I don't have many or great photos, but here's a taste for...

I started with a rear blade and the bucket on the tractor, then got a plow for the front of the tractor. Much better. That was followed by a snowblower for the Winter SEE and an 8-foot snow pusher on the Summer SEE. Definitely a noticeable improvement. Now there's a skid steer to run the...

Palletforks.com has/used to have them. But how do you plow with a bucket? For pushing snow I've found snow pushers far more efficient.

Have you verified that the switch on the clutch pedal makes contact? As I recall, it has to be activated for the splitter to change ranges. Then again, if the starter works, the switch probably does, too. Anyway, I would do/try/verify a LOT of things before tilting the cab.

I've used compressed air to blow any dirt off of the in-tank one. Mostly because on the SEE that has had issues with bacteria, the tank won't come off easily.

Yep, I'd check the strainer, and clean it. Quick and easy, and hopefully that's the problem.

Don't remember if the hoses would still drain or not, but either way I'd pull the reel (and hoses) off and take it to the shop that way. Anyway, if you remove one of the disconnects you'll find out if it'll drain the tank or not.

Nice! I made extension hoses (about 20' long) which not only helps reach places, but takes stress off of the standard hoses. Try that, unless your one hose is already too far gone.

Too late. I did about 25 years ago, but using a coozy instead of PVC. Wait...that probably means the patent has expired.

If you do, in retrospect I should've just bought the cheaper 2-piece setup. Yes, it was a time saver to have the two parts connected, but I could've welded in a piece of tubing of the correct length myself, then removed it.

I'm not so sure it's the regulator, though. For example, yesterday I used the slave cables to jump start it as the voltage showed about 20. Didn't think it would fire, and it didn't. Didn't start the other one, just plugged the cables in. While that should've made the volt meter read a bit...

Thanks. If only the darn thing was reasonably easy to get to.

Reading about scored cylinder walls makes my quest for finding a charging issue seem pleasant in comparison. Took another stab at it yesterday, (still) thinking it could be ground related. Anyway, what happens is that the voltage generally pegs the gauge at or shortly after startup. Quickly...

Okay, flaking is a whole different story compared to pitting. New/better gears it is then.
