    Hydraulic Tank Sight Glass replacement

    Hello Gents, yes I had two have a slow leak and they need some tweaking. I did note the screws on the faceplate were not all original and that may be part of the issue. The boy said he'd print up some thicker ones so once spring gets here I'll try those out to make sure they work. Also I'll...

    Hydraulic Tank Sight Glass replacement

    So I chased down the NSN number for both the hydraulic tank sightglass and the combined sight glass and Gasket NSN. Like many such searches I got nowhere. Each of my tanks had begun to weep both the hydraulic fluid, and the oil the gov put in those tanks and lines. Basically looked like this...

    Using my SEE for real work

    OK, not a task FLU worthy, or at the far reaches of capability, but I did use my SEE for work today shuttling a few dozen potted Peony plants and day lilies out to the forest edge. I tucked the Wheel barrow on the bucket and headed out to "dig" or move rocks, more accurately, all day. I felt...

    Using my SEE for real work

    You are CORRECT Sir! it is a strainer and not a filter. I believe i have changed a few of these already and left them in a jar somewhere thinking i could use them again. So i guess i have extras now?? I did change the actual filter but the nomenclature was clearly lost on me this time, figured...

    Using my SEE for real work

    I want to hear what is up with the air system! I had a power waning and engine stoppage this year too. Surely it happened as i ran the fuel filter for more than a year without change, much gunk is an understatement. Although for science's sake I washed the old filter in fresh diesel and voila...

    Using my SEE for real work

    So Maine had a bit of a dry spell and pretty high temps recently. I have installed a gravity drip irrigation of sorts on fruit trees but my rain catchment that feeds the system was depleted pretty quick. I do have alternate water accessible and ran an extension cord (or 2) and aquarium pump...

    Using my SEE for real work

    If only there were a search tab on a realty site just past ACREAGE choices that said NEIGHBORS 1. quiet 2. aloof and mysterious 3. chronic borrowers or 4. Have Badass Machinery and eclectic tastes in obscure projects. I KNOW which option I'd pick!! As of now I am a guy with a MOG to rescue...

    i may have missed it (doubt it) but you should do a snow blowing video with that set up! That would be pretty cool, just saying

    are there any flu419's left?

    patrol578, That's a lot different than my experience this winter with the drill. For starters I had the 2 or three bits that came with the machine and used the smaller one too. I think a 1 1/4 or close to that. I have all kinds of rocks thanks to the Laurentide Ice Sheet 35K years ago. I...

    are there any flu419's left?

    I bet several people that do not have major issues spend time Lurking in the threads both prior too and during ownership. I know I did. It is a great resource for folks like me with less experience on the mechanical side of things. Show some pics of the work if you get a chance! Also PICS of...

    are there any flu419's left?

    Good luck UniMatt, "running" may mean different things to different people but I too also figured at least the brakes would be good if one were to say Running.. Unless they are very literal and meant running but not Stopping! Either way take some pics and feel free to explain how complicated...

    are there any flu419's left?

    WELL said Peakbagger. I am in agreement with what i consider the rest of the SEE purchases and subsequent "dysfunctional" resales to be , commercial included!. A lot of people (myself) in over their head ( "shade tree mechanics" )when purchasing from G-Planet or elsewhere with regards to...

    Using my SEE for real work

    Oh man I gotta think about that...….that's potentially a dangerous route for me. I've gone a bit too far tweaking things before. Although if any machine deserves to be more out of the ordinary than a regular backhoe its the FLU. Perhaps thread some pool balls to replace the lever handles? A...

    Using my SEE for real work

    I should have know!! Thought the seat was riding a bit high. Just as the boom almost latches, the controls hit and the bucket starts to extend and then the stabilizer!! Sooooo close but not functional for closing with the seat . The up side is the seat does slide off its track and I can...

    Using my SEE for real work

    I messed up the price its 59.50 I think free shipping too. I had to drill some hole but still a good fit. I need to check tomorrow that everything still folds down but don't anticipate a problem. Although I got that titan 32'' weld on thumb and am hesitatnt to put it on after some of the...

    intermittent gear selector problems

    You beat me to it! I'm in the same train of thought as you. Especially as I venture out on the road into high gear more and more. I think I have accidentally shifted the collar into High while trying to get unstuck in 4x4 and believe that may have caused me to stall before. If I knew the...

    Using my SEE for real work

    Nothing crazy to report with SEE work but put a new seat on to do some more work soon. Old seat rusted and as I was repositioning with bucket it caved in on itself and clearly I needded a new seat. About $59.90 free shipping with back and forth adjustment. I will fold the backhoe tomorrow to...

    intermittent gear selector problems

    Pretty sure you nailed this if I'm understanding it correctly. If the switch behind the clutch is what allows the hi-lo collar to engage then THERE is my problem. I know this already as I have been working the Mogs in tandem to unload from a trailer one pulls. During this work to start one...
