I always thought it was for a PTO. But that's pure guesswork. Either way, routing the hoses to that opening could be less than fun.

Well, that's good. Then your seat won't rust. Only the outrigger cylinders on the Summer SEE leak (at the moment) and that's after the battle with mud last fall. But after sitting for some six months, the seat was a bit grungy, and all the paper towels I had handy were...you guessed it, full of...

Looks like you got yourself a really nice one there, Toolee. One suggestion though; when you're done covering up the red paint, I think you'll find that contrasting colors (and added lines) makes it much easier to hook things up to the quick-tach setup on the first try. I happened to have lots...

To counteract lurkMcGurk's more interesting adventures, today I ended up using the pavement breaker for the first time, due to hard clay that needed some holes dug into it. It worked! Since the Summer SEE was now running anyway, I took the opportunity to compress some stuff in a dumpster, to...

I'm impressed. After sitting for about a year and a half, I wanted to clear out a parking space in the garage and went to try to start the HME. It fired right up! I mean within two seconds of hitting the starter button. That was obviously good...not good was that I'd forgot about the still...

In my case it works just fine, the objective being to kill prairie dogs in a different way than simply shooting them. The disadvantage is that it takes extra work, and waiting time, but the result is more spectacular than a simple bullet.

Most of the info is on the main thread (SEE, HMMH, HME). If you haven't plowed through it yet, plan on a few evenings of reading. Keep a note pad handy, too.

Depending on hours and overall condition, $16K may be a bargain these days.

The closest I get to that kind of fun is placing Tannerite by prairie dog holes. And even that is a rare occurrence.

I'd ditch the 10W and put AW 32 in there, too.

The slow reaction of the gauge is normal, unfortunately. Never did get around to check if there's an actual lack of pressure, or just a delayed gauge. It doesn't sound like they're running without pressure...to me anyway. Oh, and the filter on a FLU is positioned correctly, tennmogger, so...

Yeah, I didn't think that the actual drilling and prep work would be all that fun. That's why I would bring a camping chair and an umbrella drink if I ever came to watch you having a blast. Oh, and a handheld CB, just to keep you on your toes.

Way out of my league, McGurk, but I would guess that those parts are somewhat common. In other words, see if you can find some sort of identification number on them, then search for that part, regardless of its application.

You were lucky then. I've had a couple that were installed with the terminals facing up, making the metal cover a perfect tub for moisture to stay in.

Don't feel bad about getting stuck, McGurk. I had to summon help to get the Winter SEE unstuck once. Like in your case, the hoe wouldn't grab anything. It was all ice. The second time it was mostly the lack of power in the swing cylinders that prevented a successful solo unstuck. It'd be nice...

Ah, yes, been there done that. And afterwards you'll be able to laugh about it. I didn't want to leave mine sitting, so after hours (?) of unsuccessful attempts to get the Summer SEE unstuck using the backhoe, I got the Winter See and pulled it out. It would be SO much easier to get unstuck if...

So it's not just me then? I can switch between twin stick and the SEE with relative ease, although it usually results in a few "Ooops" in the beginning. Which is one reason I run the engine at low rpms. But the swing pedals, which are the most logical as far as left and right goes, I keep...

Funny that you mention that. Just last week I was eyeballing Titan's 4 in 1 buckets. But being that I already have a blade on one SEE and a bucket on the other, and a rock bucket with a grapple, I couldn't justify the expense.

Just one more reason to get rid of as much of the diagnostic stuff as possible.
