The tenth digit in the VIN, which is 'J', would indicate that it was built in 1988.

Eastern Surplus in Philadelphia has one for sale.

I'm assuming you have air pressure? What pressure does the gauge read? Normal air pressure is 85 - 120 PSI. Does the low pressure buzzer work prior to the compressor building up pressure? The deuce should stop easily without much effort on the brake pedal. There is definitely a problem with...

Well, I finally completely removed the tower and baseplate. That was a real pain! I disconnected all of the control rods at the top, and left the axle mechanism in the tower. I'll remove it, clean up the axle and tower and repaint them. I then removed the baseplate, another major pain...

To dismantle the control tower on the backhoe you need to remove the pin holding the hydraulic cylinder in place. I was a little nervous with all of that steel hanging over me so I took my JD tractor, sans the bucket, and lowered the boom onto the SEE backhoe, locking it into the teeth of the...

I use the gladhand line on my M35A3 all the time to fill my tires on both the truck and other equipment. The M35A3 has a Haldex air dryer that works quite well. I use the air on the M35A3 to run my larger impact wrenches when I'm away from my compressors. The compressor on the CAT 3116...

My Bosch unloader came with the fitting for an air hose. However, the air hose that came with my SEE has a gladhand attachment on the end. I also have two other NOS military air hoses with gladhand attachments and I keep one in my M35A3.

I went ahead and removed the seat and the three bolts that hold the cover on. I still need to remove the circlip and pin holding the hydraulic cylinder in place along with the grease fitting and all of the control knobs. However, I looked up under the base plate that is directly located over...

New problem now. I was extending the right and left stabilizers when I ran into a problem. I extended the right stabilizer until it rested on the ground. I then extended the left stabilizer. Unfortunately, the left stabilizer kept extending even after I removed tension on the control. The...

No concours rebuild here! I disconnected the feed line that goes to the two tanks. It came loose with minimal effort. Zero air comes out of the tube, which means that it is the unloader valve at fault. The tubing on my SEE between the unloader valve and what goes to the two tanks appears to...

I agree. It is unlikely that the regulators on the input side of the tanks both failed and equally unlikely that the line is 100% plugged up. I plan on removing the line from the regulator/unloader tomorrow and see if air is coming out. If not, the regulator is faulty. I found out that the...

I've now moved on to the brakes. Fortunately, I have plenty of DOT 5 fluid in the reservoirs for both the clutch and brakes. I have a good solid brake pedal, which will slow the truck if I stand really hard on the pedal. The problem is lack of air pressure assist. I have zero air pressure at...

I guess I need to check it out some more. I tried that and it won't go any further even when I pull it to the left to clear the plastic tang. It move quite freely back and forth to the rear of the plastic. I'll pull the engine cover off again and try to clean up and lubricate the mechanism...

Pirelli has made tires in Greece since the early 1960s.

Thanks for the help. On mine, I can push the handle forward until it stops at the small lip protruding from the plastic square. It idles in this position, and can't go any further forward. It freely and smoothly moves back and slowly increases the engine RPM. What actually shuts the engine...

I'm currently having a problem shutting the engine off. I have to stall it to stop it. In the Operators Manual, it states the following. j. Stopping the Engine. CAUTION • Stopping engine immediately after vehicle has been under load could result in overheating and accelerated wear. • Do not...

Well, I joined the group. I just bought a 1987 FLU914 SEE, VIN: 1FG999993HM450521. Bumper markings are 157 MEB, 724E and right side: 950th 231M. It runs great, transmission shifts smoothly and easily, clutch seems perfect and has no major rust anywhere. The engine and truck chassis both have...

Based on the above endorsements, I chose United States of Freight to move a Unimog FL419 from Pennsylvania to Georgia for me. I dealt with Garret Howard in Delray Beach, FL. Absolutely fantastic service. Very reasonable cost, excellent communications and delivery faster than promised. The...

The odometer is reading 670, but who knows what the real mileage is. Mine also has ISAF stickers on the front and back meaning it was in Afghanistan for a period. I've never seen another M1030M1 with ISAF stickers. It also has a total of three RFID units on the bike, one on each side of the...

I think you have a great project ahead of you.
