No concours rebuild here! I disconnected the feed line that goes to the two tanks. It came loose with minimal effort. Zero air comes out of the tube, which means that it is the unloader valve at fault. The tubing on my SEE between the unloader valve and what goes to the two tanks appears to...

I agree. It is unlikely that the regulators on the input side of the tanks both failed and equally unlikely that the line is 100% plugged up. I plan on removing the line from the regulator/unloader tomorrow and see if air is coming out. If not, the regulator is faulty. I found out that the...

I've now moved on to the brakes. Fortunately, I have plenty of DOT 5 fluid in the reservoirs for both the clutch and brakes. I have a good solid brake pedal, which will slow the truck if I stand really hard on the pedal. The problem is lack of air pressure assist. I have zero air pressure at...

I guess I need to check it out some more. I tried that and it won't go any further even when I pull it to the left to clear the plastic tang. It move quite freely back and forth to the rear of the plastic. I'll pull the engine cover off again and try to clean up and lubricate the mechanism...

Pirelli has made tires in Greece since the early 1960s.

Thanks for the help. On mine, I can push the handle forward until it stops at the small lip protruding from the plastic square. It idles in this position, and can't go any further forward. It freely and smoothly moves back and slowly increases the engine RPM. What actually shuts the engine...

I'm currently having a problem shutting the engine off. I have to stall it to stop it. In the Operators Manual, it states the following. j. Stopping the Engine. CAUTION • Stopping engine immediately after vehicle has been under load could result in overheating and accelerated wear. • Do not...

Well, I joined the group. I just bought a 1987 FLU914 SEE, VIN: 1FG999993HM450521. Bumper markings are 157 MEB, 724E and right side: 950th 231M. It runs great, transmission shifts smoothly and easily, clutch seems perfect and has no major rust anywhere. The engine and truck chassis both have...

Based on the above endorsements, I chose United States of Freight to move a Unimog FL419 from Pennsylvania to Georgia for me. I dealt with Garret Howard in Delray Beach, FL. Absolutely fantastic service. Very reasonable cost, excellent communications and delivery faster than promised. The...

The odometer is reading 670, but who knows what the real mileage is. Mine also has ISAF stickers on the front and back meaning it was in Afghanistan for a period. I've never seen another M1030M1 with ISAF stickers. It also has a total of three RFID units on the bike, one on each side of the...

I think you have a great project ahead of you.

You need the cab reinforcement plate installed regardless of whether you intend to shoot or not. The M66 gun ring is very heavy. I have a reinforcement plate in my M35A3 and the cab still flexes quite a bit and moans and groans. Depending on the prior use of your poles, you may need to cut...

Do you have the vent open on the fuel tank?

You guys have scared me a little. I have an M35A3 with a CAT 3116 engine. I went out and looked at that oil line. It looks brand new on my engine. However, my engine is very smooth, even while driving. Virtually no vibration other than normal diesel engine noise.

How much was your truck worth? You may be better off finding another truck and totaling yours. Finding the parts won't be hard, but finding them locally might be. As Cattlerepairman said, the labor is the main concern and could be significant. If you do go the repair route, don't accept...

Thanks for the help. Everything you said makes a lot of sense. I'll pass this on. Thanks.

I know someone that is interested in buying a SEE that is currently not running, is not likely to be running without a lot of work, but needs to get it loaded on a trailer for transport. Unfortunately, the front bucket is down on the ground. Fortunately, the backhoe is in the stowed position...

I was right. I removed the leaking rubber fuel line. It had a crack right at one end where I couldn't see it until removed. I went to O'Reilly's to get a new piece of 1/4" fuel line and found that they were out of fuel line. Went across the road to Autozone and they had it. Took about 15...

Someone should take that project on.

Went for a ~15 mile ride on my M1030M1 diesel motorcycle yesterday. It was a great ride until I discovered that diesel fuel was spraying all over the engine. I made it back home and attempted to find the leak. It appears that one of the rubber fuel lines has ruptured, which is a good thing...
