Hey, I'd like to see that thing in action myself, but I'm not about to try walking backwards in front of a driverless snow blower. Even if I had a video camera.

We also got some snow to play with this winter, so the SEEs got to work.

I've had good luck with the Super Swampers on the Winter SEE, and the Pit Bull Rockers on the Summer SEE work really well.

Appreciate it, Ron. I'd like to finally meet you, but generally I don't stop for food on trips. Actually, the only thing I stop for on trips shorter than 1,000 to 1,500 miles is fuel. But I'll make an exception to meet up with you. I'll be going to Colorado Springs to grab a car, so the ideal...

Thanks for the invite, Joshua. I went past your place about six months ago, coming back from Provo, and used to go to Richfield somewhat frequently, but now there's nothing on the horizon for going your way. I'll be in rtrask's neck of the woods in about a month to pick up a car, and most...

Welcome, Joshua. We're practically neighbors, probably less than 450 miles apart.

Haven't got around to it yet, but some day I'll cut a hole next to the pintle hook and inset a piece of receiver tube. It'll obviously be a bit offset, but that's better than having it low and dragging in the dirt when the backhoe is deployed.

As I recall, they're normal 5/20W bulbs with bayonet, as in most earlier vehicles. Except 24 Volt, of course.

I wear ear protection when running the snowblower. 2,200 rpm and the 'blower makes for a lot of noise. The back up alarm isn't a problem for me as it's extremely rare that I put the dash switches "in the wrong position", making it work. I wouldn't mind having the low air pressure alarm hooked...

That should be as simple as using the wire for the alarm to trigger a relay for the lights. In the process, it'd be the perfect opportunity to "forget" to hook that miserable alarm up afterwards.

I knew you wood come up with some good ideas.

Yeah, I still think it could be air shifter related. If it were me, I'd make it work in low range and leave it there. I never mess with that splitter anyway. Of course, I don't usually drive the FLUs on the road.

If shopping for a bead seater, avoid the temptation to get a cheap one, with a ball valve. There has been several instances when people have been unable to seat tricky beads...until we used my Astra. A ball valve type just won't release the air fast enough to be useful in many cases.

You did it right. But, you could've seated the bead with the wheel still on the SEE, using either an Astra bead seater, or starting fluid. That corrosion is unfortunately right where a tires seals, so getting that area as smooth as possible is the key.

Peakbagger, you can get to the reservoir and fill it without raising the backhoe. At least I can. Also, don't forget that it's just plastic tubing that connects the reservoir to the regulator, so thread matching should be relatively simple. I've been meaning to put some sort of reservoir on the...

Well, the odd thing is that it wasn't overly cold. And the test bottle, left in about -2 degrees over night, didn't seem to be all that affected. Yes, the AW-32 was noticeably thicker afterwards, but nothing like what came out of the tank. Also, right or wrong, I have never treated the Winter...

I'm no expert since my FLUs are always in Low on the splitter, but if it works like a splitter in a truck trans, it can leave you between gears. From what you've described, it's feasible that it's splitter related, I'd think.

Welcome, Falcondriver. If your alky system is clean and works, you might as well use it, I think. I'm running one with (when I remember to fill it) and one without, but in a dry climate. I'd think that like most older diesels, an OM 352 will run on almost anything. Well, except for whatever my...

I think the cab gasket would be quite popular. At least I have yet to get my butt in gear and make something myself. If it has built in rodent repellent, it'd be better yet.

It does seem to work that way, thankfully.
