    Update: I made progress on the wiring harness troubleshooting today, got most of the instrument panel gauges and indicators working, still no warning lights however. Still glad to have a couple more things working than I had yesterday. My goal was to get the starter switch to work so I wouldn't...

    However, the paint flakes off in maple leaf size pieces where a man wants the paint to stay. :roll: Now that SEE #2 has a fresh coat of primer & paint on it, I'm hoping to not have to take a wire wheel to it anytime soon

    Yes, the schematic would be beneficial to several of us SEE owners who acquired our MVs from Texarkana. My time is limited diagnosing and repairing gnawed bundles of wiring (I work long hours to support my MV addiction) but I am recording every traced out and repaired wire, so I have a reference...

    Same here. I messed with the wiring a couple hours today (mostly getting everything exposed per the Peakbagger method). My patience wore thin so called it a day. I may get the girl next door to come over and chant "serenity now" when I delve back into the process tomorrow

    Advise is taken. From the location of the wiper relay to where the harness routes behind the fuse panels, rats chewed thru 20 wires in a bundle at a single location, making it impossible to simply match up and splice the breaks. If I can get all the electricals in working order on this machine...

    Tracing out origins of chewed wiring behind the instrument panel of a SEE can be most challenging, especially if you have big hands with arthritis setting in on the knuckles from years of abuse. I am nearing the point of ripping out the entire wiring harness and creating my own from scratch. As...

    Bid on and won a pallet of See / HMMH starters from GL. Now I'm asking myself why. Maybe I can do like that old Johnny Cash song "one piece at a time"

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Gave both Granddaughters driving lessons in the M923A2. It was hot today so figured this wouldn't last long. We ended up spending most of the day on dirt roads having the time of our lives. Yesterday I broke them in on operating MVs with the SEE. What great kids

    thinking about getting 419 see, need input!

    I am fortunate in that I live only 90 miles from the Texarkana GP location. I inspected a lot of the SEEs months ago prior to bidding and winning my first FLU419. I took photos of the GP sticker on the units I liked, and waited for them to come up on auction. A local recovery service picked up...

    Yes I just painted the back half of this SEE and Yes I wasn't going to work it till Fall but Yes I had a great time moving rock and trees. This thing is a beast, so what if I need to do a little touch up paint later. One of the cylinders leaked at first, but it sealed up after about 15 minutes...
