Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
They look big.... Should be good for another 5 mph on top end... Thanks11.00-20s will fit and bead up as well. These are 12.00 michelin XMLs below. But they do rub the sway bar.
You can also find 11.00 XZLs
Some SEEs came with 365 80 20s. They are out there

You better not wait too much longer. I'm getting closer to having most of the SEE related stuff done. Of course, the actual operational part, which you may be most interested in, is about to start soon. Hopefully next week.That sounds like a plan to me. I told you I was going to come for a visit to get SEE operational training some time. I will even supply the cooler of refreshments.
I have almost a dozen extinguishers in the garage, Ahab, so you don't need to bring one. Besides, I prefer Halon, Halonite, etc. as they don't make a mess.
I'd suggest that you also bring eye protection and sun screen.Got it. 10-4. I'll leave all that at home.I'll just bring along my hat.
We use dot5 silicon in our See and in other vehicles.What brake fluid should be used in the FLU419 for a complete flush and replacement? I thought DOT 5 but reading about the problems people had with this stuff I am beginning to wonder.
Thanks. Were the SEEs originally issued/fielded with Dot 5 (I am unable to take a sample of my SEE right now)?We use dot5 silicon in our See and in other vehicles.
Don´t mix up with dot4 or dot 5.1 glycol based. this will cause damage.
Yes, original filled with DOT5 Silicon brake fluid. The US forces use this fluid because it is not hygroscopic like glycol based DOT4+3.Thanks. Were the SEEs originally issued/fielded with Dot 5 (I am unable to take a sample of my SEE right now)?
Almost ready to start pushing dirt now. Need to drill out the holes (don't laugh, I drilled two so far and it's a bi*#c) on the snow pusher to accept standard cutting edge bolts, then cut and weld two short Cat cutting edges to get the correct length and bolt spacing.Wow, I didn't realize you had gotten the dozer attachment off the trencher. Definitely a nice acquisition.
Mmm, FLU p*rn.View attachment 690893 View attachment 690894
There some more pics from the SEE tools at https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showt...rs-MV-of-the-month-2017-July-VOTE-HERE!/page5
The hood and blade make for a new 3 color camo pattern . Nice set up BTWI'm happy to report that the SEE's bad visibility and heavier steering is at least partially restored.View attachment 690746
Used the crane to remove, move, and install the blade...and had to use the front suspension's lockout system to compress the front suspension. Otherwise the outriggers wouldn't quite clear the ground.View attachment 690749
Apparently Schmidt didn't use the same jig for all the implements. Had to pry and push a bit to make the bolts line up with the holes.View attachment 690750
Fewer Zerk fittings than on the loader, and only a 50 hour requirement, so this was a win win swap. Put anti seize on the bolts, then a big blob of grease into the void on top. That should make removal easier next time.
As an added bonus, now the e-brake isn't as essential again. Set the blade down, done. Except that I need to re-plumb the hoses. As it is, the blade goes down when the lever is pulled up, something I'd hopefully never get used to.View attachment 690753
Ahab: 86/28 today. Start packing.
Alpine44: Yes, the FLUs came with DOT 5.
It'll be a different 3-color pattern soon. I've started on that very poorly made and ill fitting fiberglass hood I bought a while back. First I need to decide on what to use for "mini scoops", to make room for the two things that won't fit under the hood. Yes, I had to cut two holes in the hood to make it lay down in place.The hood and blade make for a new 3 color camo pattern . Nice set up BTW
