    Flu419 front hydraulic system normal pressure?

    i just checked my belt, looks like its the narrower SAE belt. Does anyone have a PN for the correct hydraulic pump V belt? nobody local has one that looks right so i'll need to order online.

    Using my SEE for real work

    cleared the driveway a few times already this season. takes a little practice to get the curl to the right angle to scrape without gouging. I have been using the float, is it supposed to latch into float position or do you always have to hold the lever down?

    FLU419 transmission question

    i just did the bushing fix last night. when i bought the SEE i was not able to find 3rd or 4th gear before the truck would slow down to the point that i would need to go back into 1st anyways. everything is tight and works as it should now. i did all of this just removing the round shift boot...

    We hit 25 last night and didn't get above freezing all day. This cold snap won't last but its a good reminder that WINTER IS COMING. BTW, thanks Flu Farm for suggesting that I jump the starter with a screw driver when I called you on Saturday. It started right up and later i was able to trace...

    i agree, that student manual is much easier to digest.

    few questions for a newby

    well that made a world of difference. I did have a lot of the manuals downloaded but there is a lot of info to cover and i had a handwritten note from the previous owner that was a lot easier to read. It never occurred to me that the letter would have completely false info in it!

    FLU419 SEE HMMH HME Owners group

    what are everyone's thoughts on the antifreeze for the air system? at what temperature is that really needed and is it better to use it as designed or figure out a way to replace that with a dryer instead? is there a specific type of antifreeze I would need to use? I see Antifreeze...

    few questions for a newby

    My issues seem to have stemmed from incorrect instructions left by the previous owner. I was led to believe the loader and backhoe were all fed from the passenger side reservoir and that the driver side reservoir was only for the aux tools. I know the driver side reservoir is basically empty...

    FLU419 SEE HMMH HME Owners group

    one of the leaks is one of the side pivot rams so that makes sense why the tank was pretty much empty. do you happen to know the fitting types and sizes so i could go pick some up? is it bad on hoe if i let all the fluid drain and leave it empty? I'm thinking about moisture getting in. this...

    FLU419 SEE HMMH HME Owners group

    thanks, i ordered the SC a few minutes ago. the second issue i have is some leaky cylinders on the backhoe. for this winter i'd like to disconnect the backhoe hoses and just use the front bucket for some snow removal. do i just disconnect the two main hoses and connect them together? Will...

    My SEE just got dropped off this morning. I know i need to replace a leaky clutch slave cylinder right away. I found the part on EI. the MC seems fine but if you guys were tackling the job, would you just replace both? the SC was leaking slowly when i first started looking at the SEE. the...

    few questions for a newby

    can someone walk me through how i should drive an flu419? i looked at one today but the seller is the wife of the guy who used to use it. She knows nothing about it or how to use it and her husband isn't available to help. i got it started, cycled the loader, checked out the backhoe, got it...

    pre-purchase inspection

    how i felt when everyone keeps telling me to just put an orange triangle on it and not worry about it. I have 20 acres that I live on and my father-in-law has several hundred that he ranches. I planned to share the SEE between our places, so it would do 25 mile trips regularly. I can do the...

    pre-purchase inspection

    i just have a hard time buying something w/o a title, seems like it limits me if i ever do want to register it or if i want to sell it down the road to someone that wants to register it. I would think the more sales between the original auction and current owner, the hard it gets to get the...

    pre-purchase inspection

    I spoke with the state DMV office about being able to title and register this FLU419 in Nebraska and they said its not going to happen unless the vehicle has a DOT and EPA sticker already. I've been pushing on the seller really hard to go get the title using their SF97 from 1 year ago but now...

    pre-purchase inspection

    thanks Simp. This one has been used around someone's homestead for the past year and apparently has good tires. The seller said there are some leaks on the front bucket cylinders and it loses a little brake fluid. The brakes and hydrualics all work as long as they fill up the reservoirs. I...
