So far all I have used for wrenches are 27 mm for the BSPP lock / seal nuts and 19 mm on the flange nuts. Also a adjustable wrench on the elbow fittings.
The HF tube wrench set has a 19 mm / 22 mm combination, which only cost $14 for the 5 wrench set. a 3/4 wrench works well on 19 mm...
The fittings are one advantage of using Nickel-Copper, since I think I can reuse most if not all from 10 mm steel to 10 mm cunifer, and not have to match up disparate threads. At the worst case I would just need 10 mm compression sleeves.
I don't think the pressure requirements are that big of...
Well when you are ignorant like me, better to follow someone else's lead, but I was wondering if I could use braided Stainless Steel hose of appropriate diameter and just do a good job attaching it to the frame. It would save $$. Flu farm what would you consider appropriate hose?
I had thought of checking with a magnet, but was unsure of the type of stainless that is used in the tubes. Some stainless is magnetic even if less so than steel. When I checked as you suggested there was a strong attraction so It is steel. In one of your earlier posts you had said you were...
Thanks Peakbagger, I had heard of the student manual but not seen it before. It is a good reference.
Lack of progress report.
I had a frustrating weekend. I thought I had it figured out when I started breaking connections at the anti-freeze / regulator and water started coming out. With all...
I am not sure how much of the trailer brake lines are intact.
When I saw these lines I traced it back into the cab, and the one that is partially present goes to the lever on the steering column that allows the driver to apply brakes to the trailer to stop fish tailing. A long time back I...
I think the weather will hold for me to get some work done this weekend. So I am doing a bit of prep work.
I have most of the metric combination box and open end metric sizes between 30 mm and 7 mm, of course I could run into one that falls in between two sizes that I have, but no way of...
Thanks, I will give it a shot . But at least a good chunk of the trailer lines were removed before I got it. The other thing is I think it is blocked now, not leaking.

I need some advice on how to proceed. I have two issues that may be related, but probably are not. When I first got my SEE, the air pressure built up to 90 pounds or so and seemed to bleed off slowly. A few weeks ago I could hear an air leak, and the pressure never built up. Over the weekend...
Yeah, I foresee a tilted cab in your future. It is an old break, so maybe you can get by like you had for a while. The picture that I sent you was for the belt adjustment to the power steering. it is the outer most belt, so you will still need to remove it to get a replacement on. I wonder if...
Tilting the cab is not too hard, but if the only reason is to change the V-Belts out, probably it is overkill. I reread FluFarm's post on that, and the only time he needed the needle nose vicegrips was at the very end while tightening the lock nut.
I that belt is the inside belt, so you will...
When I was looking into it, I took the NSN numbers, and did a look up on those, and got the dimensions from the spec. The dimensions were of course all metric. I then took the dimensions and plugged them into NAPA to find best fit. What I found was not an exact match, due to SAE - Metric...
Take a look at the TM 5-2420-224-20-1 in chapter 1 it has a lot of specs. I know that the front circuit has a flow rate of only 8 gpm, compared to 26 gpm for the rear. I suspect that flow rate is more pertinent to what you want to know.

Thanks Speedwoble, I did a web search and found a replacement (part no. G103351) at Greatlakes Equipment in IL. With shipping I can get a new rod delivered for < 410$. I searched Case Equipment Parts local to Denver, but almost no web hits and nothing specific to that part. I have not worked...
Welcome to the forum from Colorado. My wife is from the UP so I traverse upper Wisconsin regularly. I even love pasties.

Hi Nick and welcome to the group.
As Speedwoble said that is standard operating procedure. If you look at the operators TM you will find the correct procedure to get the boom to latch. raise the boom to the top and immediately switch directions. I had the same problem, and it is counter...
You will probably at least want to hold off on the waxing, but a power wash may be in your future to deal with the mud. The wash at this time of year in New Hampshire does not sound fun.
You can post pictures from your phone pretty easily, at least from the tapatalk app that I use. There is a...
Welcome to the club CimmonsGuy.
Where did you get your SEE, post some pictures when you can. This forum is a gold mine of information on the SEE. (I assume you meant FLU419, not FLU491)
