The first thing to do for your instruments is to remove all fuses and clean the connectors. I used a dremel tool with a brass wire wheel to clean the contacts. I replaced 100% of my fuses with new fuses from EI. When I installed the new fuses, I coated with dielectric grease. All problems...

I'm about 23 miles north of Helen, just off US 76 and about 15 miles east of Hiawassee. You are correct, we are neighbors. If you are ever in this area, give me a shout and we can talk about FLU419s. Yours looks to be in good condition from your photo. Does it run well? Complete? Did you...

One problem I have with Kascar is the following statement on their website. Stuff like that does not help the MV hobby. "Military vehicles are designed for rugged terrain use in adverse conditions and potential combat by the military. They are not D.O.T. approved for highway driving and should...

I definitely agree with the 2nd oil change. Since you are based in Iowa and cold weather, I believe a multi-viscosity oil is preferred, but the Tractor Supply SAE 30 should be OK for the first flush. Any water in the system should end up getting flushed to the bottom of the pan.

I use John Deere 15W-40 in deuces, the same as I use in my JD tractors. The Rotella is good oil and I use Rotella T3 15W-40 it in my MEP003A generator.

I routinely put Optilube XPD in the tanks of all of my diesels. Optilube XPD came out number one in lubricity tests.

I'm in Georgia, but in the mountains. We get winter diesel here. The issue the fuel companies have, even in warm weather areas in the winter, is that trucks and cars can take on diesel fuel in warmer areas and then drive up into colder areas and have a problem. Changing the subject, piston...

I've never seen it in the FLU419 manual to add gasoline to diesel fuel for winter. I've only seen where it says to use winter diesel vs summer diesel for winter conditions. I have seen where it was authorized to add a small amount of kerosene to summer diesel fuel for use in winter conditions...

Gasoline has almost no lubrication attributes. I would be very concerned that adding gasoline to diesel fuel would damage the injection pump. I would stick with approved additives to clean the injectors. When I was in the Army, many of our trucks had multifuel engines and some were still...

When did you buy the diesel fuel? You may have summer diesel fuel and not winterized diesel fuel. Normally, winterized diesel fuel is sold in the U.S. between November and March.

I had to use my FLU419 twice over the past few days because we were snowed in due to the winter storm. My FLU and my M35A3 were the only vehicles I could get out with because of the snow and ice and the fact that our house is located on a steep hill. I had to start the FLU at 16 deg F. I was...

AM General and these trucks don't have a 17-digit VIN, they have a serial number.

That ad states it has an automatic transmission. None of the FLU419s had automatic transmissions. The air compressor isn't necessarily faulty. It is more likely that the air line is corroded and plugged. Without air, you don't have usable brakes and other stuff won't work. Easy enough to...

Did you receive a title when you bought the deuce? They are worth more with a title. You can usually date vehicles by looking at ID tags on the truck without further information, but you do have a S/N and registration #. Check all three axles, transfer case, transmission, etc. You already...

Absolutely, but I find some things easier in the Case Parts Book, especially the illustrations. I use both together when needed. When I'm dealing with the backhoe alone, the Case book only has the backhoe stuff in it.

I agree with you, but I find the Case 35C parts book very easy to use and only $10.00 for a new copy.

The best thing anyone considering purchasing a FLU419 can do is locate someone nearby that owns one and ask if you can look at it, drive it and do a little digging with it. I've had three people come to my place and look at my FLU. Two ended up buying a FLU and the third was scared by the...

I own a FLU419 and I use it extensively on my property, mostly cleaning out ditches on my road on my 40 acres. There are pros and cons to the FLU419. The first variable is the condition of the machine. I have had very few problems with mine as it was in very good condition and well...

If you need Case backhoe parts you should buy the parts book for the Case 35C backhoe. Many, if not most, of the parts are the same as the backhoe on the FLU419. Several sellers offer a hard copy of the book on Ebay for $10.00, some with free shipping. The part numbers are the same as the...
