Hi Jon, Welcome to the group. I am a relatively new member, and I am in much the same boat as you. I bought mine at auction in May with the intent of having it ready to go next spring. I had a lot of issues getting mine delivered, and since it is not critical to my life until next spring, it...

6mm is close to 1/4, a little smaller .236 4mm is close to 5/32 a little bigger I don't know might be able to find a tee like that at the auto parts store. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using Tapatalk

I like the sounds of that. The tool looks like vice grips attached to a kind of hard rubber/plastic form. From Speedwoble's description, and the picture I would guess that the bottom hole is slightly under sized to grip the line, and the top is slightly oversized to allow the line to expand when...

Do you use heat like FLU farm suggested? Or just use the tool and a mallet? It looks like it has slots for 5 sizes of tubes. Is that sufficient for the sizes used on a SEE? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using Tapatalk

Well I certainly need one, PM me if you want to sell me one, or let me know your source, and I will order some as well. Tell me more about the special tool. As many lines as there are going all over the place, I suspect I will need to become proficient at making hard lines as well. As...

I have a broken tee on the fuel supply line. In the parts manual TM 5-2420-224-24-P-1 pg 0026 00-2 it is labeled 34, an joins hoses 30 and 35 I think this is going to be an on going struggle with the cheap plastic lines and aging nylon fittings. I am looking for y'alls opinions. Would the...

Yeah, have been wondering about what straightening it will do to the throttle adjustment, and wondered if it might have been bent intentionally as a way to adjust it in the field. The threads were "rust welded" pretty tight. I will use anti seize after annealing it. I may go ahead and...

You are right I don't have a pressure tester, but even if I did the ones I have seen just replace the radiator cap, with one that is attached to a hand pump. I am doubtful that could be made to work in this instance. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using Tapatalk

Probably right, but finding metric rod, and buying the right size die will take some running around. Maybe the local auto parts store or Ace will have it all, but it will only take a few minutes to try heating it up. So for now the manufacture route is plan B. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A...

I am not sure how to pressure test it. Should I just get some hose, to block the openings and rig a Schrader valve to one hose and put 20 lbs in to see how long it lasts?

rtrask's questions Next Question The boots on the ball joints are all trashed. The ball joints themselves seem to be in good shape.Has anyone replaced the boots on their joints, and does any one have a good source for ones that will fit? It looks like two sizes.

I posted another picture showing the other end of the hose. Shown in that picture is the coolant reservoir over flow line. It is too small a diameter for that. I suspect it was an air line of some sort, but no clue what it's purpose was.

I will try to be careful and heat it up, and anneal it so not brittle, but breaking is a strong possibility. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using Tapatalk

rtrask's questions Next Question The radiator shows some damage on the front of it. I don't think it leaks, but the fan belt was off of it when I got it an the water pump was not pumping as a result. The plastic reservoir on the top was empty. I have not run it much for that reason. The old...

rtrask's question list. Next question: There is a mysterious plastic hose that is not connected to anything I can tell, any ideas what it is for. The other end of the mystery hose. It runs behind the power steering fluid reservoir. It is not the overflow from the radiator as suggested, too...

rtrask's question list. I am planning to get some work done on the SEE this weekend. I have some questions I am hoping that you all might have some answers that so far I have not been able to find in the manuals. I decided to break up the questions to individual posts so that they don't get...

I got the dimensions of the key from a PM I sent. Thanks to everyone especially Alpine44 in mm it translates to Center hole is 6 mm from bottom surface. Diameter of that section is 11 mm and that thicker section is about 17 mm long. Handle section diameter is 8 mm. There is a 5 mm long recess...

I not yet bought a master disconnect key from EI. They want 16.50 for the key and and nearly that to ship it. I figure I can manufacture one for less than $2 I have gotten by with out it till now, because once the SEE started it did not matter. Now that I am wading into the electrical issues, I...

That is similar to the stuff I bought after Speedwoble pointed me in the right direction. The main thing is GL-4 or lower. Below are the relevant posts from back around page 308.

It sounds like a good idea. Will have to see if I can get to it before snow flies. I don't have a garage tall enough to have the cab tipped indoors. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using Tapatalk
