I actually have been considering recreating the SEE specific mount used for the loader to make a snowplow mount. Just not sold on hanging a blade off the bucket and stressing out the loader while plowing snow. I have seen a photo somewhere of a SEE with a snowplow and it looked like it used that...
I have run into a seller out of England on Ebay that sells the various boots. He has an ebay "store". He doesn't list SEE specific parts and I haven't gone to the trouble to see if his parts line up with a SEE.
Merex in Germany has a good reputation. Their parts guy speaks English and as long...
Rocky Mountain Moggers has non a SEE specific version for basic components like filters. The easier approach is just find a European supplier as Mogs are far less rare and routine maintenance parts are far easier to find.
I participate on that forum and have for several years. I find them very helpful on Unimogs in general but less so on SEE specific issues. This forum on the other hand has been very helpful over the years and tends to be very SEE specific. Thanks to Captain Hood's work we got our hands on Wiring...
I wear ear plugs whenever I am running mine so the backup alarm does not bother me. The low pressure alarm on the dash is far more annoying and is didconnected.
Go the misc technical forums and find this thread https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?170940-See-small-emplacement-excavator-flu-419-manuals-and-a-student-handout now download the student handout (last one on the right). Ignore the poor reproduction of the primary wiring diagram that is...
No, they are part of the added on Case equipment that is fed from the accessory fuse. This wiring is not shown on the wiring diagram but the electrical diagnosis section in the manuals has troubleshooting for these lights. The only reason they will come on is if you use the switch. Note I think...
I have had some ideas for a retractable lifting hoist that attached to the drivers side ROPS upright for removing the tire and possibly the FOPS. The tire rig is easy but the moment arm for the FOPS means its got to be lot beefier. I expect I will just drive between two trees and rig up a...
There is alcohol injection system located upstream of the air pressure regulator. Its on the passenger side just ahead of the rear wheel. The access to the reservoir is from the deck of the rear platform, you need to have the backhoe in the deployed position to get to it. Unfortunately the top...
My guess is its viscosity related. I don't have the lube spec nearby but curious if they have a cold weather spec. If you read the winter operations recommendations they really stress exercising the hydraulics before actively using them.
Sorry I missed this one. I guess I was lucky that mine was in good shape and came right apart. Somewhere in the early stages of desperation with the rewiring process, I did envision starting from scratch and one of the reasons I didn't was that connector body as there is lot going on in there...
I have heard my fans turn on in Northern NH when digging with the backhoe. The hydraulic cooling fans are a known issue with SEE's. Water leaks in via rotten grommets into the motors and rots out the interior. They normally short out and cause the fuse to blow but I guess could just as well just...
You may want to PM Speedwoble. I think he had a SEE with bad transmission and seems to know his stuff. He also fabricates cab lifting brackets that you will need at some point. He makes them up and Expedition Imports sells them. I hope the transmission issue is external to the transmission...
Newer Mercedes engines use the same style pump as the what was sold on Amazon. I think the only difference is a Bosch logo. Unless you are going for a "concours" restoration no need to rebuild the old one as the new one is superior. My local Unimog expert did indicate that the old style is easy...
Without fanning the flames, there are a couple of nice manuals and articles on the SEE stashed away in the Misc TM forum. Hard to beat the student manual, should be required reading along with the service cartoons. The report on digging holes in permafrost with the optional ripper claw bucket...
Thanks for all the input. I made an inquiry of a local Unimog Expert http://www.unimogcenter.com/ (Yes he does have this much inventory although I think he sold one of the ambulances shown and a SEE). He agrees that there is most likely leakage on the suction side of the fuel system which is...
Yes I did use copper nickel. I bought a length from Fedhill.com (a great source for copper nickel). Stainless also works but its a real PITA to bend. In my experience it makes a less reliable flare type fitting.
I have a Bronco project that I just replaced all the brake lines with copper nickel.
