One of the costlier mistakes I've made (and there has been many) was not buying a backhoe several years ago. Conversely, eventually buying a SEE was one of the better moves I've made.

Funny, Pinsandpitons, I (re)noticed that gizmo the other day and also wondered. Only long enough to think "Oh well". though.

Check if the splitter is in one of its two positions, instead of in between, before tearing anything apart. Or at least I would.

Great, now I know why I haven't seen any email notices lately. This site has also been "improved". Oh well, it was nice while it lasted.

Bought it at the local NAPA, but it was years ago so I don't remember the price. It wasn't expensive. Actually, I thought that they wouldn't last very long, and bought several. And the one I did change (on the Winter SEE) turned out not to be empty.

Guess I could pull the canister off, which would stop the year-round injection, or fix whatever causes it. But why? As mentioned, I like the smell. As long as mine starts down to -20, I'm happy. That's about as cold as it gets here. Of course, if I somehow forgot the anti-gel it really wouldn't...

Uh, oh, sorry to hear that, Tarek. Not that you're recuperating, but that you got in a wreck. Try to take it easy for a while. I never do, but have been told that it really helps.

The headers are solid lumber, but not solid enough for my liking. A glue lam would've probably been better. I'll weld up some steel supports at some point. At least the posts are real steel, not firewood like the headers.

Here you go, from left to right; Summer, Winter, and all season. Of course, I use them as needed and the "Winter" moniker is because that's the one that's set up to accept the snow blower. Conversely, the Summer SEE has the better wheels and tires (and bucket) for doing normal ditch work. But...

Hmm. I thought I posted a pic of their new "house" (okay, carport) a while back? Anyway, the HMMH has a corner spot, then the Winter SEE, and next to it is the Summer SEE. Guess I'll take a new photo tomorrow, proving that I got the tire chains and snow blower installed on the Winter SEE a...

That point must be above 80 degrees, or so, as that's about as hot as it gets here. And the Winter SEE happily squirts some even then.

The one in my Winter SEE works fine. Almost too good, as it seems to squirt some ether into the system automatically, at each start. But that's okay since I like the smell. I get the cans at the local Napa, but don't remember the cost. They're fairly cheap, though. Changed the can in the Winter...

The blade works fine on regular dirt, a prairie dog infested pasture in this case. But it's not heavy enough to do actual dozing work on harder stuff. And if it does dig in, the SEE won't push it. For moving larger amounts of dirt, the 10-foot snow pusher I put a cutting blade on is more...

I don't remember what thread it's in, but basically we were warned not to have the splitter in low, just use direct First gear Low. Either way, I don't think the loader is meant for digging, that's what the backhoe is for. Then the loose dirt can be moved with the loader.

I know it says to wait, or serious damage can occur, or something to that effect. But why, or how? Having never waited for the pressure to build up (if it's low or zero to begin with), the FLUs and I are still alive and here to tell about it.

I don't envy you having to do that drive. After three or four years I have now put about 30 miles on the HMMH, but it has all been on the property, with the exception of one 4-mile round trip to the post office. During that trip I learned that the HMMH is like a sports car compared to the SEE...

If you have future uses for it, and it's in decent shape and you want one, buy it. We only live once. Obviously the current owner isn't all that familiar with the machine (or logical thinking in general), or he'd reach in over the tire to prime it instead of hassling with the dog house, so the...

It was going into a K-20 Suburban ('73-'91), if that helps. PM me a phone number and we'll discuss this. I may take a couple of cars to SoCal soon, if the weather cooperates. If so, there would be room on the trailer for an engine, trans, etc., too.

There are three wires, right? Two would be hot depending on which switch you pull, and one should be ground. I'm just guessing, but still.

Okay, here are some photos of the engine.
