I hope it would pay enough to replace the worn out SEE once the job is completed.
But I'd like to observe for a while...especially if attempting to pull a loaded dump trailer with the bucket. Unless it's dinky trailer.
Thanks, I saw that. But for that kind of money I'd probably make my own.
Besides, I'm now leaning towards selling the 4/94. I'm on a cleaning spree, time will tell.
Hmm, this reminds me. I bought two seats a couple of years ago (couldn't resist at $35 a piece), but haven't installed them yet.
Thanks for the inspiration, guys.
Ouch! That's about four times more than it costs to do it yourself.
Or maybe about the same cost if you need to buy a good MIG welder, too, which is reusable.
It did make sense...except, I don't know if the claw setup is strong enough for loader use.
On my 4/94 the two systems are completely separate, bolted on to the same frame obviously.
Those are not what you need to mount a SEE loader, if I understand this even halfway correctly.
What you need has two large pins at the top and two blocks with holes for bolts at the bottom.
I haven't measured, or tried anything yet, but it sure looks like what's on the front of my "new" MB4/94 has the FLU style mounts bolted on there in addition to the plate with the triangles.
For the quick tach plate conversion I used a setup from palletforks.com.
I recently got an MB4/94 with crawler gears. They're wonderful. Even being in only the working gear range is much better than the SEE's gearing.
If the SEE went that much slower, the snow blower would work a lot better.
I should start looking for those claws, too, if I end up mounting the snow...
Unless the backhoe is being used , there should be no reason to latch it. Gravity will be more than enough to keep it there.
Of course, I forget if using it was part of the plan.
I would've gutted all the front axle stuff, and they probably did.
Tire speed ratings? That's for sissies. If you're still worried, use tight snow chains to keep the tread attached to the carcass.
