    FLU419 SEE HMMH HME Owners group

    Thanks for the replies and warnings! I do try to keep safety in mind around these machines. When I became a cadet at the Citadel years ago there was story going around that a faculty member had been killed recently under his BMW Bavaria while he was working on it when some improvised jack...

    FLU419 SEE HMMH HME Owners group

    I mentioned above I lost the clutch on my SEE as I was trying to stop before dropping a load of wood in my fire pit. Well I confirmed the slave cylinder is kaput and leaking profusely. I understand the slave cylinder can be changed out without tipping the cab, but I have decided to tip the cab...

    FLU419 SEE HMMH HME Owners group

    Thanks! I have a long to do list on this SEE, but I am happy to be back in the game! I wanted to get over to the Charlotte area to check out the DOKA crane truck and maybe make an offer, but I waited too long!

    FLU419 SEE HMMH HME Owners group

    I also meant to mention that I took the FOPS roof off of mine because I like the look better and saving some weight and maybe lower center of gravity. If anyone wants one they are welcome to come pick it up.

    FLU419 SEE HMMH HME Owners group

    Thought I would say Hi to the forum. Back in 2013 I bought a SEE from govtliq. and it was a near perfect example of the breed and it never needed anything other than fluids and filters changed. I worked it pretty hard and had a lot of fun with it too. In 2018 I sold it for a lot more than I paid...

    Official NC Denton Rally 24-28 apr 2019

    I agree, was walking near by the blank fire area when they fired the howitzer. It shocked me and no one had the option of covering their ears. Lot of people complained. I am all for the blank fire of MGs and cannon and fire my 37mm cannon live at mg shoots etc., but always with a loud "fire in...

    Official NC Denton Rally 2019 buy/sell

    Have two top of the line Hella Rally 4000 LED driving lights. I bought them in March for $586 each. They were too tall on the roof rack of my G Wagen and interfered with shooting from my pedestal mount. Replaced them with Hella's compact model. They are still like new and very bright. $800 for...

    Hurricane Florence

    Thanks for suggestion. I will study it some more and see if I can find any obvious defects and have a better idea on how to describe the problem. If I can't make any head way may very well trailer it over to Dieseladdict.

    Hi Bikeman or any others on this thread. I am in Fayetteville and lost power for 6 days due to Florence. Had to evacuate for one day, but luckily no major damage. I have a MEP802a wired into the house, but a while back it developed a problem that I did not fix before the storm. It will start,but...

    Had a great time at the event. Thanks to Pat and his wife and other organizers of the convoy/BBQ. It was a great addition to the event. Hope that it can be part of the deal next year. Really nice place you are building! Butch, it was nice meeting you and exchanging unimog/SEE tractor hints and...

    Denton NC mv show 2015

    I will try to be there Friday in time for convoy and BBQ. Only have to decide now whether to strip loader bucket and backhoe off the SEE tractor to reveal its inner sports car (comparatively!) like last year or leave it kitted up and sloth like! Ben

    MEP-802a power generation?

    I forgot to mention that I don't notice any black smoke when mine bogs down. It just seems to die out. I just changed the fuel filter and no change in behavior. I was thinking the governor is not adjusting to the increased load, but I am a beginner with these things.
