The black toggle switch switches between the headlights (that are normally blocked by the loader) and the auxiliary lights.

Before you pull the pump try my boat tank trick that I have described far too many times. With the squeeze bulb and the boat tank at a higher elevation than the injector pump even if the low pressure fuel tank pump is damaged it should be able to run off the boat tank. I didn't need to do it but...

One of the technical advisories warns that this hose and fitting is easily broken when the doghouse is removed.

The person I bought my 1300L from doesn't have tall enough garage, he bought wide low profile sports car tires from a used tire place and they are mounted on standard unimog rims. When he needs to work on the mogs in the garage, he swap to the sports car tires.

Thanks for posting this

I do plan at some point plan on getting access to biodiesel for blending. Unfortunately its not easy to get in my area. I expect newer diesels have been built for low sulfur fuels so they most likely can purr along nicely with no additives. Mechanical injection pumps are now pretty old (but...

Since the OM352 (and 366s) hit the street, diesel fuel has changed, it previously had sulfur that acted as a lubricant in the injection pumps. In order to clean up the air, recent diesel is ultra low sulfur meaning injection pumps are having a rough time. Some folks are adding a bit of two...

EI has a lot of inventory and not a lot of staff and getting everything entered in the right place is on going project. I think they are out in Europe right now. Best idea is if you cant find it on the website is start up a support ticket and they will get back to you when they return.

It was moved to the current conflict vehicle forum. I edited the original post to reflect this location https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?168054-Unimog-FLU-419-SEE-Wiring-Diagram If you are looking for SEE info, there is also some in the Misc Technical Manual Forum. Including this...

FYI, While roaming other Unimog websites a known crops up about the front portal axles losing fluid. Its reportedly an issue with Military Mogs of the 406 vintage and going on into the later SBUs, including the SEE. There is a possibility that the front portal boxes will slowly pump their fluid...

Before you go ripping and tearing, the air system does run a few things like Brake Assist Remote Throttle control switch air cylinder Air shifter 4WD DIff Locks Diff pressurization Trailer Brakes I believe you are correct one air tank is for the vehicle supply and the other is backup for...

Bummer on the seal. I think I have posted this firm previously http://www.foxkits.com/. They sell all the Case seals. I bought a complete set but haven't used any yet as my leaky cylinder seems to be sealing better.

Fortunately I haven't gone that far on mine so you are on your own. I do wish they would show system diagrams in the manuals but expect you need to use the parts break down diagram and figure out what regulator supplied the purge air. Unfortunately I think the one you need to deal with may...

Great hear that you are putting it to work, I think a lot of the issues folks have is that these rigs were made to work and letting them sit it not good for them. Even the military pushes that the rigs need exercise. I expect your air system issue may be related to the air purge system in...

I wont attempt to guess how new it is. I have a zero miles SEE speedometer in a box in my basement and I suspect the speedos were replaced as part of the recon a well as the hour meters (but its pure speculation on my part). EI has the speedos for 50 bucks. The SEE folks on this thread don't...

The thing is those darn coleman pumps seem to run forever if you keep the pump leather oiled every decade or so. As long as the generator tube isn't ruined, usually by pump gas, I can almost always get a garage sale coleman to work unless someone tried to burn motor oil or kerosene (seen one or...

The person I bought my 1300L has been out and about for awhile (and still on the road) I caught him in between trips to buy mine and while I was there I was impressed with his inventory but held off posting any pictures. His website was down for a bit due to technical issues but a new version is...

I have one of the old style pumps I will give you a real good deal on ;). They apparently can be rebuilt (and its a good thing as they need apparently need it frequently). The 406 folks got to live with them for years. I think it was a very popular upgrade on the SEEs as without one the trucks...

I cant add much to the fluid discussion that hasn't been said. Observations from a Unimog pro that I recently bought my 1300L from is that the two lubricants not to go cheap on is the transmission fluid and the portal axle lubricant. He recommends a synthetic that meets Mercedes specs and as far...
