    Loader piping fittings JIC with tapered threads?

    I see that there are some of the fitting you need for sale on Ebay at $10.00 each, new, although he does want $5.00 for shipping. https://www.ebay.com/itm/DAIMLER-0009905871-ELBOW-PIPE-FOR-FLU419-FRONT-LOADER/233314242472?hash=item36529ccfa8:g:2vcAAOSwY4pdVa0V Gary

    History of my new FLU419/SEE

    The number inside your cab is likely the registration number.

    History of my new FLU419/SEE

    I'm talking about the numbers on the front and rear of the SEE. Perhaps your have been painted over. Mine were very clear.

    History of my new FLU419/SEE

    Do you have the U.S. Army, Air Force or Marine Corps unit numbers from the SEE? I was able to obtain significant history on two different deuces by contacting the U.S. Army units they were previously assigned to. One of the units forwarded a lot of paperwork on the deuce, where it had been...

    Headlights flash with turn signals

    I would ask the guy you bought it from if he had the issue and ask him who was working on it and what they were working on.

    WIX oil filter troubles

    I've been using FRAM in my MEP003A. Mainly because I previously worked for Honeywell International before retirement. Honeywell made them at the time, but FRAM has since been sold to a New Zealand company.

    Soon to be a new FLU419 owner (maybe)

    Congratulations on buying the SEE. I just bought one myself a couple of weeks ago. Like you, mine came with the hydraulic tools as well, although I haven't tried them out. One thing I did was purchase a print copy of the Case Parts Catalog for the 35C backhoe on Ebay for $10.00. This has...

    WIX oil filter troubles

    WIX is part of MANN + HUMMEL, a German company. I'm wondering if one is inch-threads and one metric threads, or some other thread pattern such as BSPP. Go to: https://www.ring-plug-thread-gages.com/PDChart/G-series-Fine-thread-data.html for a table of G-designated thread patterns. I think...

    Looking at a Deuce, Has Some Issues

    How far down does the brake pedal travel before you get a hard pedal? Brakes that need adjusting normally result in a pedal that travels down more than normal before you get a hard pedal. I suspect that you either have an air pack problem or a lack of air pressure going to the air pack. The...

    The tenth digit in the VIN, which is 'J', would indicate that it was built in 1988.

    Eastern Surplus in Philadelphia has one for sale.

    Looking at a Deuce, Has Some Issues

    I'm assuming you have air pressure? What pressure does the gauge read? Normal air pressure is 85 - 120 PSI. Does the low pressure buzzer work prior to the compressor building up pressure? The deuce should stop easily without much effort on the brake pedal. There is definitely a problem with...

    FLU419 SEE HMMH HME Owners group

    Well, I finally completely removed the tower and baseplate. That was a real pain! I disconnected all of the control rods at the top, and left the axle mechanism in the tower. I'll remove it, clean up the axle and tower and repaint them. I then removed the baseplate, another major pain...

    To dismantle the control tower on the backhoe you need to remove the pin holding the hydraulic cylinder in place. I was a little nervous with all of that steel hanging over me so I took my JD tractor, sans the bucket, and lowered the boom onto the SEE backhoe, locking it into the teeth of the...

    I use the gladhand line on my M35A3 all the time to fill my tires on both the truck and other equipment. The M35A3 has a Haldex air dryer that works quite well. I use the air on the M35A3 to run my larger impact wrenches when I'm away from my compressors. The compressor on the CAT 3116...

    My Bosch unloader came with the fitting for an air hose. However, the air hose that came with my SEE has a gladhand attachment on the end. I also have two other NOS military air hoses with gladhand attachments and I keep one in my M35A3.

    I went ahead and removed the seat and the three bolts that hold the cover on. I still need to remove the circlip and pin holding the hydraulic cylinder in place along with the grease fitting and all of the control knobs. However, I looked up under the base plate that is directly located over...

    New problem now. I was extending the right and left stabilizers when I ran into a problem. I extended the right stabilizer until it rested on the ground. I then extended the left stabilizer. Unfortunately, the left stabilizer kept extending even after I removed tension on the control. The...
