All you have to do is pull the lever over a wee bit and push it further down. This is the engine shutoff.. ( if it is adjusted correctly...) Then shut down the electrcis... Dave

Welcome and that's a good looking truck! This is right place to look for advice and info on the SEE.. I have been on since 2015 and have learned a lot here.. Dave

Try visiting a MB car repair shop.. good chance they may have an old diesel engine fuel line laying around... Dave

Dang, here I am trying to catch up from November and see this.. I rebuilt mine from what was left of the old one and then saved the 2 grommets since they weren't rotted.. I used a piece of laminated floor underlayer which is made out of a really tough rubberized material.. cut the 3 holes and...

That's a good looking truck...looks a lot like mine! Here's a pic from when I got it home from the shop after replacing the engine and getting the brakes working and repairing the wiring and replacing the steel fuel tank with a new aluminum one and painting & installing a new fiberglass...

I know my switch didn't work the first time until I shot a bunch of contact cleaner/oil in and popped it in & out a few times... then it went to high idle and the cooling fans came on since I didn't have a tool hooked up.. oil got hot pretty quick... Dave

Yep, he tells me that he just got an order for hundreds of ign keys and batt keys from one of the auction sites.. I guess there's going to be a whole lot more see's coming up for auction pretty soon.. :) Dave

Hi. EI has the knorr injector rebuild kit now.. I just got one..part number is: 001 430 37 60 no longer available from MB.. had to go to the mfr to get them.. Dave

Thanks for the diagram! Now I have to try and figure out which wire is which since yours has colored wires and I have the good ol' mil wiring that is all black with tiny numbers stamped on...:( oh well.. Dave

Anybody? (hearing crickets..) I think I have figured out most of it but could someone look at the black relay behind the alternator and tell me where its wires go. The plug-in has one loose wire with a terminal and I think it goes to one of the alternator studs but I'm not sure.. thanks, Dave

Hi everybody.. I finally have another engine sitting in the frame and getting stuff hooked up to it. I thought I took good pics of the details but I did not get any of the dang suppressors and the polarity breaker wiring.. would someone have pics or details on the wires coming and going to...

oh, I know... I was just trying to be "frugal".... just not sure if the hood hardware is the same between the 406 and the 419's.. Dave

Also, could you look around and see if there are any extra hoods... 8-) ( I could really use one.. lol) Dave

You'll need to get the backhoe back down, then the whole thing would clear 8.5 feet high.. take a look at TM5-2420-224-20-2 around page 8 or 9.. that's where they tell how much stuff weighs.. then you might be able to add up for the total weight of the bucket.. surely your 3k trailer could...

Finally got the body up.. the engine is next... Dave

Here they are installed... with the blocks under the rear body mount brackets..also look at how the back window glass is resting on the backhoe lock assy.. even with the blocks installed..when the front of the body is lifted to install the tilt brackets, the back glass is pushing hard on the...

Looks like about 120mm or 4 7/8" center to center.... Dave

Another few pics of getting the backhoe lifted enough to clear the fops and to tilt the cab.. rigged up an old car lift pump and adapted the hose down to a #4 male flare fitting to hook to the lift cylinder hose.. you have to run the pump and hold the lift lever down at the same time.. a 60" 4x4...

Here's a couple of pics of the real brackets.. Dave

I guess it was just a matter of good timing... I was cruising thru the site actually looking for cab tilt tools and came across it.. took a day or so before I decided to take it.. didn't know it was the only one.. he might have saved another one for their tool rent-out program.. Dave
