When you say 'cable' do you really mean cable? On mine there is a steel rod that screws into a ball joint on the bottom and the top is threaded. On my SEE, there aren't any cables anywhere on the throttle mechanism. Mine is bent badly right where the threads start on the top and is causing...
As Scoobyshep said, don't let the engine idle. Once it starts, adjust the RPM so that you get 60 Hz. Leave it there or make small adjustments to keep it near 60 Hz. When shutting down, shut it down when it reads 60 Hz. Never let the engine idle or it will damage the VR. These are fantastic...
Just make sure you roll your cart on plywood sheets as others suggested. Otherwise, those small wheels will sink immediately in the soft ground you mentioned.
Does anyone know of a source for an alcohol evaporator tank with all of the fittings and hose that is in good condition? I removed mine for cleaning. Although mine has a new looking cap on it, the tank was about half full of dirt and sand and all of the fittings are rusted solid. Someone was...
How do you know the batteries are good? I would recommend charging the batteries. If you don't have a 24 VDC charger, use a 12 VDC charger and charge each battery separately. I had a 6TL battery in one of my deuces fail unexpectedly. Headlights worked. Starter wouldn't turn over. I...
I need to replace the main air line from the downloader to the air tanks. I want to use stainless steel. I've found a 6 foot piece of 10 mm O.D. stainless with 2 mm wall thickness. However, I'm trying to find the correct ferrules for the connections. I can use the original nuts, but I don't...
Mine came with the chainsaw as well. Actually, I haven't even removed the hydraulic tools from the compartments. I've been too busy with other issues. The jackhammer looks almost new. The chainsaw and drill look used but in good shape.
I see that there are some of the fitting you need for sale on Ebay at $10.00 each, new, although he does want $5.00 for shipping. https://www.ebay.com/itm/DAIMLER-0009905871-ELBOW-PIPE-FOR-FLU419-FRONT-LOADER/233314242472?hash=item36529ccfa8:g:2vcAAOSwY4pdVa0V

Do you have the U.S. Army, Air Force or Marine Corps unit numbers from the SEE? I was able to obtain significant history on two different deuces by contacting the U.S. Army units they were previously assigned to. One of the units forwarded a lot of paperwork on the deuce, where it had been...
I've been using FRAM in my MEP003A. Mainly because I previously worked for Honeywell International before retirement. Honeywell made them at the time, but FRAM has since been sold to a New Zealand company.
Congratulations on buying the SEE. I just bought one myself a couple of weeks ago. Like you, mine came with the hydraulic tools as well, although I haven't tried them out. One thing I did was purchase a print copy of the Case Parts Catalog for the 35C backhoe on Ebay for $10.00. This has...
WIX is part of MANN + HUMMEL, a German company. I'm wondering if one is inch-threads and one metric threads, or some other thread pattern such as BSPP. Go to: https://www.ring-plug-thread-gages.com/PDChart/G-series-Fine-thread-data.html for a table of G-designated thread patterns. I think...
How far down does the brake pedal travel before you get a hard pedal? Brakes that need adjusting normally result in a pedal that travels down more than normal before you get a hard pedal. I suspect that you either have an air pack problem or a lack of air pressure going to the air pack. The...
