I have blown my old tire and trying to source tires locally (Alaska). Shop has the following Ag tires available. Anyone have any experience running AG tires this size. 14.9LR20 (375/75R20).
I have stock rims on a dic brake unit. Load range and rubbing are my mine concerns.

When moving snow, dirt ect. I set the rpms to between 800 to 900. This assist in dumping the bucket and providing more power to the front hydraulics. When it "springs" forward, yes it will actually drops all the way to stall the engine. So the original question was has anyone else had an issue...
Hey all, I've combed through the forum and haven't seen much on the issue I'm having with my FLU-419 SEE.

So here is the issue. When I move the switch from 2 wheel to 4 wheel or Diff lock, it is leaking air in the switch? Anyone else have this problem? I guess I am pulling the switch out and taking a look. Any advice on pulling the center panel out?

I did a search here but was not able to find anything on this part. So, before I dig into this thing, does...
I am familiar with the military numbering of their inventory. Actually spent many yrs working in R60 (equipment yard) while a Seabee. This is the only number painted on the unit. Inside the door, seat pedestal, frame, etc. Just figured U.S. Army may have done it differently than the U.S. Navy...
Congratulations on yours as well.
So far it just seems to be the swing rams need new seals, but PO included them with SEE.
I had it dropped abut 25 miles from the house and drove it the rest of the way in. Averaged 50mph, used no noticeable fuel usage at all and the bounce was not to bad...
I will try to find your post on the differential lock cylinders. The unit also can with the jackhammer and rock drill plus their tools, the cab tilt brackets, seal kits for rams, a complete set of new belts and did I mention the two Mercedes-Benz manuals..
I read someone was keeping a record of our FLU419's. Here is the ownership history of the unit I just picked up. I will say there was a huge difference in what I paid for this Unimog and what the government sold it for, lol
