Long ago I posted my hand drawn sketches of the electrical connectors off the fuse rail. Definitely not complete or ready for publication but they did have the numbering. I got to repair my harness from rat damage behind the dash without access to the wire diagram as one of our members didnt...

That gremlin popped up on mine. I have not chased it down yet. Remote loader switch works, work lights work but remote high idle and tool solenoid does not. It may be two separate issues but suspicious. FYI problems with the rear switches are a known issue with a suggested fix. There is...

Sorry for missing the question on Valve stems. The stems are stock mercedes, I bought a bag of them off Ebay a year or to ago. When I swapped my stems previously I just went to the car parts store and found the closest fit. They worked but not very high quality The Mercedes Part Number is...

FYI, the student handout that is stored in the Misc Tech manuals has the wiring diagram for the back platform. Here is snip from the cooler. Looks like the switches are in parallel so if one is not working the second one works to turn on the fans. Here is a link to the manuals...

My fans were replaced with Spal fans from Ebay. When using the backhoe on a warm day, my fans turn on and are needed to keep the oil from getting too hot. In cooler weather they cycle on and off. I sure would not eliminate them if you plan on using the backhoe for long periods.

MY Pirellis are actually used from the Unimog Center.

Best Deal out there for stock size tires 335/80r20 Pirelli PS 22 16Ply (12.5R20) New Tires (41" tire) UNIMOG!!!!!!!!!! | eBay . I swapped my michelins for these and like them. They are stiffer sidewalls probably more of a road tire. There are other firms that sell military takeoffs but who...

Looking at this link https://www.stanleyinfrastructure.com/products/chain-saws its probably a bit smaller.

Being careful to follow the forum rules. I got a new in box Stanley hydraulic chainsaw today on Ebay. The seller had two listed. I have no involvement or interest on who else buys the other one but thought I would mention it in case someone is looking for one to complete their kit. As usual...

Northern Hydraulics and I expect Tractor Supply are selling interlocking ground mats for this type of work. Not cheap but its surprising how well they spread out the load. I have seen large concrete trucks using them and it just flattens out the grass. On a somewhat related note my SEE and the...

Congratulations, Its definitely will work. Its a permanent version of my boat tank temporary solution. If you do want to snug up on the plastic lines, the fix is to buy a fuel hose with an ID thats the OD of the plastic. Cut the hose the lenght of the hose barb and then slice it lengthwise...

I am late to it but there are several springs in the assembly on the inside of the tunnel. They fail on occasion and that can screw things up. I have spent far too much time trying to work on the throttles linkage with the cab down.

My tank breather was painted shut by the CARC coating. Its screwed into the top of the tank between the tank and rear platform. I ended up finding an identical non CARC coated version on the web by searching the name that as cast into it. It has a check ball in it that if the SEE is sidewards...

The GL4 issue is important. GL5 eats sychros. GL5 is better for the front and rear end but keep it out of the transmission. Many owners and parts people get confused and just use a GL5 with a GL4 rating on the transmission. Synchros wearing out is usually a long term mileage related thing so I...

In order to get to the wiring behind the dash, you need to get at it from the front of the vehicle. The air intake ducts need to be removed along with the fragile defroster ducts. Its also helps to flop the fuse block forward.

I had all four of my tire stems fail as the sealing rubbers on the stems were deteriorated. I expect you have already replaced them but many owners may not realize they should be changed. I find some non original one that would work but of lower quality than Mercedes. I have since gotten...

No good reason for all black wiring that I can find out. But they went ahead and did it anyhow;). I assume you found the white numbers near each connection? Be careful cleaning the numbers of off as in some cases I rubbed them right off trying to get them clean. I got real good doing that when...

I autopsied one that was real stiff. Its a known problem that is covered by a service advisory. The grommets feeding power into the can were mounted facing up and dry rotted from sunshine letting water inside. The military fix was gob it up with silicone. The interior was pretty badly rotted. I...

You do realize you are denying him the chance to look for a new toy for the collection ;) I look at Hemitt Knuckle boom cranes that pop up on ebay occasionally and think what it would take to adapt in place of my backhoe. I resist the temptation
