    FLU 419 Blown Head lights aka Kermit vision problem

    I have a blown high beam one side and a blown low beam other. It came with a blown headlight. I replace one already and it blew shortly after. As parts are hard to come by I want to be pretty sure what part needs replacing. I'm thinking it is the alternator regulator. Haven't checked yet if it...

    FLU419 SEE HMMH HME Owners group

    You said you had less that 30 days to go. When we got toward the end of our tour in Viet Nam (spelling is correct) We would declare our sellfs as being short. Probably for "Short Timer". We would draw a cartoon-ish picture of a helmet sitting on top of a pair of boots with just the boot toes and...

    Kermit doing the squat. Taking out the lathe from the M944 The fork truck model has a locking front suspension mechanism. If I where to get really into it I would probably fabricate/invent a front suspension locking system.All it would take is two hydraulic cylinders mounted like shock...

    If your thinking of doing something like an abulace box in the back you may have to decide if you want to permanently eliminate the back hoe function. The back hoe is some what off/on. The associated equipment like the oil tanks, hydraulic oil cooler and tools boxes are not. It would take a big...

    "The frames on the SEE's were really beefed up" The drive shafts are inclosed in tubes to allow for radical frame twisting keeping the wheels in contact and the drive shafts aligned and engaged. This is a major UNIMOG off road capable feature. Unfortunate beefing up the frame negates this...

    I believe the attach points for the bucket and back hoe are unique to the S.E.E. But well suited for fabricating and mounting an intermediate adapter plate front and rear. The PTO is taken up with the back hoe hydraulic pump so any powered equipment front and rear would have to be hydraulic...

    Can't get axle (bearing) nut off

    I've done several heavy truck axle seals and countless brake jobs. But never a powered front end. I always took the wheel and drum off as one assembly. Yes you can turn the drums with the tires on! A greased piece of sheet metal for the duals work great. An engine hoist for the front. As of...

    White Hercules multifuel ...need advice

    "Shifting from first to second is usually the roughest shift in these trucks. You will get the "feel" for it after a while of driving. I usually pause in neutral for a half second before pushing it into second gear. Don't force it. Let it fall into place." You can manually do what your...
