Nice! Is that the clean one that sold recently on auction?

For now you could just interrupt the air supply to the axle. I've thought of doing it to both axles anyway, because if I find myself in water that deep I have other problems going on.

I'm very happy with my 39.5x16.50 PitBulls. Better flotation, especially on 2-inch widened rims.

What's the "boom cylinder" on the loader? I'm lost here.

They're (old) standard European fuses, which you can get on eBay, Amazon, etc.

I personally don't care about them being color matched. If I were, I'd buy a can of spray paint and make them match. After all, that's basically what Freightliner did.

That's a basic GM copy, which you can probably get at most any auto parts store.

Once you have the trench at least started, you shouldn't have to counter with the swing cylinders. I "dig to the side" quite frequently when it's not convenient to straddle a ditch. Also do it when digging horse graves, as it allows me to put the dirt pile away from the center of the hole...

Yep, you do what you gotta do, and it wasn't like you had to put any weight on the outrigger anyway.

If you make a mount for a parasol and put bias ply tires on it, you'll likely do just fine. Starting with a good one, of course, and Sgt Jiggins' seems to have one.

It's nice to see that all your work on the FLU is paying off. And that you enjoy running the machine. They really are fun, I think.

And here's a pic of the tunnel washer.

Hey, it's a mere 2,500 ft.lbs. What could possibly go wrong? Either the fastener comes loose, it breaks, or you go for a spin. So far they've come loose. The bolts for the loader, for example, was more than the 3/4-incher wanted to deal with, but the 1" worked fine.

You should try the 1-inch version. It makes the 3/4 seem tame (and very light) in comparison. I'll dig up a photo of the tunnel washer later.

I had already taken the tunnel washer apart before realizing that I could have replaced the car wash style broom with the chainsaw. It would've been pretty neat to be able to cut stuff way up and off to the sides.

The rear hydraulics will run a low pressure skid steer snowblower, but as you mentioned, the SEE will go a bit fast when the 'blower is at an efficient rpm. That's one reason I got a skid steer to run that snow blower instead. Been meaning to put a receiver below the pintle hook, but like many...

It's rare that someone complains about the oil pressure being too high, in anything. But if it used to be low, maybe due to dilution, and is now what it should be, I'd be happy.

I bet you wish you had a 12-inch bucket for digging that trench. There's a reason I put one on the former Winter SEE. Anyway, for that rock, I'd dig out around it enough to put a chain around it and pull it out of the hole. Yeah, it may take a few attempts, but that's still a lot easier than...

I've never checked if they do make 24 Volt versions, but you may want to find out. And why couldn't you feed the Pertronics 12 volts from a relay? That's how I made the 12 volt shut-off solenoid on my M1008 work with 24.

Speaking of (formerly) leaky cylinders...almost forgot to mention that the forklift is alive and well again, after finally getting the 3-stage cylinder back from intensive care, and installed.
