I still have a problem to debug with the rear switches. The idle up switch, front bucket control switch (from the backhoe seat), and the accessory hose switch all seem to not work. The rear work lights and tail lights function, however.

To update on how my FLU is doing now, may be of use to other people: 1. Mine had the bad transmission shift bushing, that seems to be really common. Replaced that, and my shifting issues went away. Had to make a special tool to compress the shifter spring cap to re-install, that was the hardest...

Yep, everyone's project goals are different. I certainly can respect the pure utilitarian, "it just needs to work" thing. For me, this FLU is more than a piece of equipment, I will use it as such, sometimes, but at other times, I'm doing to do weird art stuff with it. These are already strange...

Ooh yeah, I think I'll ditch the blackout lighting as well, I have no use for this. I'm not going for a restoration in any way on this FLU, it will be primarily a tractor, a work vehicle, and then also a fun mutant art project. It will be getting a non-military paint job, custom LED lighting, etc.

So far my gut feeling is that everything there on the FLU that was made by Mercedes is going to be fairly reliable (except maybe the shifter bushing, and a few other known issues). It's all the add-ons and things that could potentially cause issues (like fuel system leaks originating from this...

Ahh, so it measures the pressure difference between before the filters, and after? I'm guessing this gives some sort of indication if the fuel filters are clogged and need replacement, the pressure drop would be larger. Does it flash a light on the dash or something? The fact that it can be...

Hi, I'm new here and this is my first post. I bought a FLU419 a few weeks ago, and it has been quite an adventure in learning about these and fixing the issues I've found with it so far. I'm an aerospace guy so it's in my wheel house. I think I got lucky, it has the "Overhauled at RRAD" plates...
