Why the pessimism?? When registering my 359 Peterbilt here I said it's a motorhome. It's a typical over the road tractor with a 63-inch sleeper that I use as an RV. No problems at all.

Easier yet, pull the strainer out, either permanently or while fueling up. At least in my case there's definitely no lack of venting capacity around the nozzle with that large filler neck, but the strainer hinders the fuel flow.

Seems like you can register just about anything here in NM.

As glcaines pointed out, you can adjust the resistance with the pivot bolt. Anyway, it sounds to me that it would be cruel to the clutch to have the idle set any higher than it has to be. Again, I use the pedal to raise the rpm as needed during operation. Then again, I very rarely use the...

I must be missing something here. As long as the hand throttle doesn't turn the engine off, why does it matter? I use the regular foot pedal to vary the rpm to whatever is needed at the moment. When using the backhoe it would be a different story, as I like to set the rpm at 1,000 to 1,400 or...

You're a braver man than I am, glcaines. Not that I ever noticed that large gap, but if you really want to experience a huge gap, try driving a Daihatsu HiJet.

When/if I get around to play with the fuses - at this point only a taillight or two works, but all the useful stuff still does - I'll put some dielectric grease on there. That may not be what you had in mind, Ahab, as it's non-conductive. But that's what generally used on electrical...

I can't imagine trying to change the filters through that hole. Not when it's relatively easy to slide the hood out of the way. But bleeding, yes. Had one filter housing with a broken off bleeder screw. Drilled and tapped for larger ones, but haven't put that one back in service yet. It was...

I've had them come off the bead at maybe 15 psi, but don't you have the official air-up-from-the-SEE hose??

You can check function by bridging the sensor on top of the cooler. My fans very rarely run, except when using the snowblower, but one did die on the Winter SEE. Stupidly stole one from the Summer SEE (which was supposed to be a parts car), so I ended up getting a close copy - off of eBay, I...

Somewhere along the border?

Nothing wrong with powder extinguishers...as long as it's someone else's vehicle that's on fire.

Doesn't really matter. Unless your FLU still belongs to the military, and they decide to have it freshened up.

Another thought. Over the years I have used that extra circuit twice on the HMMH. In other words, do you really need it? Same with the locking front suspension, come to think of it. An interesting novelty that I forgot all about.

I had a similar need for my tractor a few years ago. Needed hydraulics for angling a snow plow. Looked at adding a ("third function" I think they called them) switch setup to the joy stick, but decided on installing a separate valve with a lever instead. Either way, the tractor can now angle the...

It'd be quicker and easier to add an electrically operated splitter valve to the SEE, wouldn't it? Then you'd have the same functions on it as on the HMMH.

Okay, the front mount sure looks like a FLU mount to me, but as I mentioned, I haven't measured or tried yet. The rear one may very well not fit a FLU implement, as I recall pins being involved. Haven't removed a rear implement yet. Either way, this MB 4/94 originally came equipped with a loader...

Well, I can't say for sure that things would fit on the MB 4/94 since I've never tried. But the mounts sure look the same. I can take photos later today and let you guys guess.

No, I put the blade on one of the SEEs, since it wasn't doing any good on the HME sitting in the garage. But I could've put it on the HMMH if I wanted to. As far as I know, the loader, forklift, and blade are all interchangeable. Same mounts. The only difference being that the forklift...

That combination is only two bolts away...if you find a Schmidt dozer blade. Which I did, once getting the HME. But I'll be switching things around this spring, as having the blade on the "main backhoe" is far from ideal for me. It's not that I use the bucket per se, but it is most helpful when...
