I am jealous of that blade. Is it interchangeable with the Schmidt or is that yet another specialized FLU? My nephew has promised to fabricate an attachment to my front end loader that would allow me some capability, but you know how promises like that go. I first need to locate a snow plow...
I developed the web site for the San Luis Valley Campground which I live just west of. The San Luis Valley is in the inter mountain region between the Sangre de Cristo mountains to the East and the San Juan mountains to the West. The closest "town" is Villa Grove. The Great Sand Dunes national...
@The FLU farm I don't mean to sound ungrateful for your help. You have been a great resource ever since I bought my SEE. You help people all the time and you are greatly appreciated.
Well, I had already finished before your last post. As I said, it was only off by a few mills so I don't think it is worth while to undo the change I made. It probably would not be too hard to back off the nut on the inside, and then tighten the one on the outside to move it back to where it...
The list of projects is pretty long. I am continually finding uses for my SEE.
Tomorrow I will be doing some work for a neighbor who needs to put in a septic system. I agreed to dig the exploration trenches for the engineer to design the system. They are also asking me to dig the leach...
A little too late. I just finished up. I used the threaded rod to spread the Chassis. It was not a big adjustment. I am not sure how I could have used a winch. The problem was the control arm was just a little too long. I could have tried cranking the wheels from side to side. I have looked...
You don't need to bother with crawling under a FLU unless you are just curious. I backed off the outer nut and with the help of PB Blaster and a 2' cheater I was able to spread the Chassis Rails enough to install the control arm. I think that is the purpose of the threaded rod, because it has...
Well, a winch is the wrong solution, as I need to spread it a bit. I have been thinking about cutting a 4x4 to length and using a bottle jack to spread it out a bit. I am pretty sure the threaded rod is not a panhard. It goes from one of the Chassis rails to the other and does not connect to...
OK, I guess my question is how do I move the Chassis over, and what caused it to change. I have been searching for any information on the threaded bar that looks like it could spread the frame out, but have not found it in either manual or the parts manual. Does anyone know what it is called?
It's not bent as far as I can tell. For sure it's not bent enough to make it that short. There is no sign the control arm had fallen down and drug. For sure that would have bent it if it had. There was a stub of the bolt still in the bracket that I suspect held it in place until it was...
Hi everyone, it has been a long time.
I have been using my SEE a fair amount lately. The bolt that attaches the front control arm sheered off for some reason. I bought a replacement bolt, but the control arm is too long for the holes to line up. The manual doesn't help, it basically just says...
I don't remember having any bulbs with the long blade like is in the picture. I suspect that as long as you have a pin located the same distance from base to top of the blade it will work.
Take a look at these. T3 bulbs, I think the key is T3 bulbs, you can reuse the holder that clicks into the instrument panel. Double check all of this, because I am just going by memory.
I replaced mine with some LED ones. they are easy enough to find, just be sure to search for 24 volt ones. I think I got them off Amazon. I will search for a link.
Yep, I can see the San Juan's out my back window. The front window faces the Sangre de Cristos
There was a huge volcano called La Garita on the Southwest end of the valley. The La Garita eruption was over 10,000 times as violent as Mt. St. Helens… La Garita blew out 1,500 cubic miles of rock...
I have been able to get the tires on / off by myself. To do it you need to play with the jack until the height is just right, then use a spade under the tire to wiggle it up and down until you can get a lug or hopefully 2 on. Then jack the SEE up and man handle the wheel until you can line up...
Wow that looks like hard digging. No pictures of the front end loader lifting that load. I am in South Central Colorado (San Luis Valley) and realize how lucky I was with volcanic ash to dig.
