    FLU419 SEE HMMH HME Owners group

    What kind of batteries did it come with? If they are Hawkers and appear to be dead, there is a good chance they can be resurrected, but it takes a special technique.

    FLU419 SEE HMMH HME Owners group

    I see it didn't take you long to find one. That looks like a very nice unit. I don't know if you are aware, but the ignition switch doesn't take a normal key. The key is more like a key blank. You can turn the switch with a screwdriver, etc. I've seen new switches at EI and also on Ebay...

    Recharging Exide 6tmf

    Hawkers are AGM type batteries. The Exides are not if I remember correctly. The Hawkers behave differently when being re-charged.

    Generator to charge vehicles, Hummer Ford Tesla Volt

    Please note that the MEP002A and MEP003A put out either 3 phase power or single phase power, but not both simultaneously. You have to manually switch the output. Both are excellent generators. I have an MEP003A that has been reliable and trouble-free for close to a decade now and I have...

    5 Ton CDL?? (Indiana)

    In Georgia you have to have either a CDL or a Class E license to drive any vehicle with air brakes. Air over hydraulic brakes doesn't require this. I have a Class E license in Georgia. Basically, this is a CDL for non-commercial use for truck and trailer for greater than or equal to 10,000...

    Unimog Shocking My Dog

    I really like the electronic dog collars. The dog will get slightly shocked a few times, but it doesn't hurt them. I've accidentally shocked myself with one. Plus, it vibrates first when they get close to the fence, warning them not to go further. After a couple of weeks you don't normally...

    M35A3 check valve alternative question

    My M35A3 occasionally would starve for fuel and I had to clean the check valve. The check valve would be plugged with trash. After about 5 - 6 episodes, I drained the fuel tank. I pressure washed the inside of the tank removing globs of goo and trash. Afterwards, I used a garden sprayer and...

    Haul a Deuce M35A2C & trailer

    I had a FLU419 moved from Pennsylvania to Georgia a few months back. I used United States of Freight. Excellent service, very good price and fantastic driver. Even showed up days early.

    Unimog Shocking My Dog

    My dog Buddy is not afraid of my military trucks, tractors, etc. He likes to ride in my trucks. However, when I start my FLU419, he screams and runs off. I thought he was simply afraid of the noise or something. Then I remembered that he is wearing a Dogtra brand shock collar. We have 8 -...

    FLU419 Fire Extinguisher

    According to TM 5-2420-224-10, the extinguisher is supposed to be mounted between the seats for both the FLU419 SEE and HMMH.

    FLU419 Fire Extinguisher

    Thanks. I think I'll put mine on the cab wall. It would be more out of the way in that location. My SEE doesn't have any mounting holes on either the cab wall or the engine cover so I don't think it ever had an extinguisher mounted.

    FLU419 Fire Extinguisher

    According to the TMs, each FLU419 is supposed to have a 2-1/2 Lb 5-BC fire extinguisher mounted between the seats. My SEE does not have an extinguisher and I see no evidence where my SEE has ever had an extinguisher mounted. I'm assuming the extinguisher is supposed to be mounted on the rear...

    My Turn for Shifter Bushings

    I guess it's my turn. My SEE has always shifted very smoothly since acquisition. That is until a few days ago. It is almost impossible to get into 1st, 2nd or 3rd. It goes into 4th fairly easily. I went ahead and ordered new bushings from EI. The transmission oil level is correct, so I'm...

    MEP-003A stalling under high load test?

    I am not an electrician, but I see it this way. When you put the 52.2 amp load on the generator at 240 VAC, you are putting a 12.53 KW load on a 10 KW generator that is rated with a 0.8 power factor, thereby overloading the rating of the generator. The fact that your frequency drops from 61.5...

    You should replace the valve cover gasket if you remove the valve cover.

    Recommendations - FLU419 review for purchase ?

    The fittings I used with my 316 SS tubing came from EI. They were packaged in a Mercedes parts bag. I have zero leaks after checking with soapy water.
