    Did you look in the parts manual? Right next to the NSN is the civilian part number.

    New FLU419 Owner, Electrical Woes

    You can add a temporary ground pretty easily with a jumper wire. Do you have the electrical schematic?

    FLU419 Fire Extinguisher

    Here is my Kidde ABC with a 5lb5oz charge. The bracket came with the truck, but I had to adjust the band length to fit this extinguisher.

    I get the flu on Wednesday

    Did you do the portals as well? 6 total places to drain and refill on the axles. Also, lube the lockers while you are at it. Lastly, though the military used the same gear oil for the transmission and the axles, it is advised to use a synchro safe gear oil in the Transmission. Generally that...

    FLU419 SEE HMMH HME Owners group

    Usually the grease gets scraped off are the point of contact. I use it. Conductive grease is at risk of making shorts between terminals.

    FLU419 SEE HMMH HME Owners group

    In theory all of the FLU front implements will swap between each other, toolboxes on the rear notwithstanding. Thus far only photos I have seen are of 2 of the HME dozer blades on the FLU. It should not take long to figure it out. You could use the bucket on the SEE to help remove the forklift...

    I would never put Teflon tape on a fuel component.

    I get the flu on Wednesday

    No lift pump in the tank. There is a lift pump in the IP, so the supply line is under vacuum. Hence any leaks let in air. Look for Peakbagger’s advice to wrap joints with rubber line and compress with a hose clamp to stop the hard lines from being a source of air leaks.

    FLU 419 Model Variations

    Id like to see the FLU backhoe on the MB4/94. I bought an MB4/94 3Pt to put on my FLU, but it would not fit. On the MB4/94 there is single mount on the truck bed and double(female) mount on the attachment that fits over it. on the FLU, there is double mount on the truck and single on the...

    BFR's Floozy

    Greetings from another former Deuce, current FLU owner. You will like the power steering. Just a dumb thing, but the FLU has a clutch safety switch so make sure you are depressing the clutch. Since it has been in a barn, check for chewed wires under the hood right behind the dash.

    A gentle PSA, remember to always close the toolbox lids before driving. For some reason, I keep forgetting and the tire lug contacted the lid, bending it so it won’t close. I don’t recall if it was a problem with the 12.5R20’s, but I think it could be worse because the lid will hang lower...

    Using my SEE for real work

    As I continue my move and get used to a larger shop, I am finding that big tools can be found cheap if you have a way to move them. I bought a 30ft wide, 3ton Gantry crane for $250 at an auction. I think it went cheap because nobody else wanted to try to move it. Loading the main beam on the...

    Moving a SEE With Loader Down

    Yes, there are transport locks on the loader arms to keep them up. If the bucket itself is dropping, you will have to develop your own strap method. Ok

    Where to buy?

    Good luck. The few I have seen on the government auction sites have gone for more than that after fees lately. Eastern Surplus had one for $15K recently, but was listed on their website as sold. You may find one on the typical internet marketplaces, but I expect if it is under $15K, you are...

    FLU419 Fire Extinguisher

    Mine was horizontal on the back wall, held on with 8 bolts. The straps were too short for a commercial fire extinguisher, so I lengthened them to fit a 10? Lb kidde.
