Split Torque tube boots are available. A good place for 419 (a 419 is the last version of the 406) parts is this ebay store http://stores.ebay.com/Westfield4x4 They are based out of England. I see a split boot listed. Generally his prices are less than most other firms. I generally check them...
There isn't anything special about those air tanks. I expect if you don't use the trailer braking system you probably could get away with plugging the connection and running without one. When I bought the goodies for the air dryer install (yet to be installed), I needed a purge air tank and...
One more thing regarding the spare, spray penetrant on the bolts that hold it to the frame during the initial walk around. Getting any leverage on that bent handle is difficult and unless you have A torch and want to do some damage its isn't coming off unless that rod unscrews. Same with the lug...
I will stick with fuel system issues. Bring about 4 feet of fuel rated fuel hose and hose clamps. The fuel primer pump is most likely the old style and having a new style Bosch unit could be real handy. The fuel filters can be cleaned in the field and major sediment will build up in the bottom...
You are a braver person than I to drive a potentially unsorted 419 over the road from Atlanta to Asheville.
I would suggest a power pull and some straps in case you need to coax the backhoe mast all the way back to its travel lock. Bring a can of spray lithium grease and spray down the travel...
Scott at EI referred me to an ex CASE/Mercedes Unimog mechanic in northern CA. He is retired but works on them and apparently he do work on transmission for the army as ac contractor
"One of the rules about fight club is you don't talk about fight club". Steel Soldiers terms of service are specific that we cant talk about auctions in progress which apparently applies to Arnold's Mog even though its been perpetually for on auction for several years. ;)
VonsMog.com has some inventory, worth checking it out but definitely hit or miss. Most of his stuff is 406/416 rather than 419 specific
Expedition Imports has about the largest inventory in the US, just because its not listed in the inventory its worth opening up a ticket and inquiring about a...
I wish you the best of luck that its only a couple of wires. Generally the rats move in under the dash where you cant see the damage until you discover that the gauges and all sorts of accessories don't work.
Looks like my long term project to start posting connector diagrams and pin outs from...
Same size as a SEE12.5R20 ( 335/80 R 20). My SEE tires are rough, I expect the 1300 may donate some tires to the SEE at some point. Same rims, same portal boxes, same disk brake caliper and same diff, only difference is the tubes are longer to give it a wider wheelbase.
The German military...
Unimog Center is the lakes region of NH. He ships them in through Portland Maine.
I think the limiting factor on 1300s are the tires. I don't know if anyone makes a speed rated tire for them so everyone runs high speed agricultural tires that are rated at 100 KPH at the most. There are "super...
It may become a cargo truck.
Near the end of the contract for the German Government, the factory was shifting over to 1350 production. Some of the late production ambulances got fit with some 1350 parts like load adjusting headlights and a beefier gearbox. It also has the 366A turbo which is a...
After some looking I now have a "tender" for my SEE
Thanks to George at the Unimog Center
I do need to remove the blue lights on the roof and have to swamp out the rear as it cames complete with 4 Nato stretchers and a bunch of sliding framework to get them in and out of the box.
Best place to go is here https://expedition-imports.com/419Parts. for the military manuals. Scott is the owner of Expedition imports and has the largest inventory of SEE parts around.
If look on the misc technical manuals section of Steel Soldiers you can find my compilation of army service...
If you go back in this thread long enough you will come up with my diagnostic method which is outboard motor tank with a squeeze bulb on the fuel line. I sat mine on the passenger seat and used that to diagnose the system. Do keep in mind that fuel will still be returned to the main tank but you...
Working from memory (a dangerous thing), I believe that when the hydraulic tools system is turned on, it cranks up the throttle. I think that's the other "switch"
I don't have my manuals handy but the fans are in the same electrical diagnosis section as the starter relay. Note that one of the Army "cartoons" comments that the remote high low switch and the remote loader switch are prone to corrosion, the fix is to replace them. It doesn't make sense that...
Was the remote high rev switch to the right of the backhoe seat switched to high ?. When the engine went from high rev to low rev did the fuse blow? I cant help you on exactly what temp the switch turns on. Its just a snap disk. The circuit is pretty simple, might be easier to jump the terminals...
I think we are all tempted on occasion to share the good news about auctions but the rules are the rules. On rare occasions there has been an after the bid has closed post to discuss the outcome which is allowed. I remember one such post after the "unicorn" of 419s, the trencher, showed up on...
