I have mentioned this before but found an official Mercedes reference from a 1300 owners manual. "Once a year spray 1 CC of anti corrosion oil into the pipe connection on axle drive housing of front and rear axles". Along with the quote there is photo showing the drain plug on the axle used to...

Vons Mogs was advertising fiberglass hoods http://vonsmog.com/newunimoghoods.html(I expect they all come from the same manufacturer). There is currently a drivers side door on Ebay ($1,200). As many folks have learned spare part pricing for Mogs is pricey. I expect someone could part out a 4 K...

I don't have much real estate at the house and what is there is built up so its lift it or keep the SEE under a tarp and work on it out in the driveway. My town charges high property taxes on structures ( a consequence of no state income or sale tax) but its based on square feet not height so...

While researching for a new addition to the fleet I noticed in the Unimog 1300 operating manual that they recommend that if the unit is used predominately on road that the front tires be swapped so that the tread pattern is reverse of the rear wheels to "provide smoother running while...

Sorry, I just skipped the research and bought it from FoxKits. They do sell kits for the individual cylinders.

Sure sounds right. This engine is used in all sort of products in Europe. Just like NAPA sells functional equivalents to OEM parts there are enough of these engines in Europe to justify selling non OEM replacements. Hard to justify keeping inventory in the US to serve a "gray market" The Euro...

Looking at the electrical schematic, the oil pressure switch shown has two outputs, one is a NO switch that goes to ground and is routed to the warning buzzer in the cab that many folks disconnect. It is an outright alarm that the oil pressure is too low and most likely the contacts close under...

I did the same, but would suggest hitting the strap threads with paint remover as mine were gunked up with paint.

I expect that the reason its so expensive is it may be specific to the SEE as it most likely has two circuits in one unit? One circuit would supply the Mercedes oil pressure gauge and one supply's the diagnostic system (which is useless without an unavailable diagnostic box). It would be...

Given the local rodents at RRAD I don't expect many will have good electrical systems unless they were shipped in recently.

I run both the outer and inner filter, I think most folks just run the outer. Luckily NH dirt tends not to be dusty so it never makes it to the filter

Ding, ding, ding, you are correct. I think all the indicator lights work the same way, they are not part of control circuit. I must admit I never hooked up the high air filter differential pressure alarm switch.

Looks like you need to download the manuals, they are free and have much of the information you need. They aren't optional if you plan to keep the SEE. There are a couple of locations and may even be on this site Here is one location http://www.rockymountainmoggers.com/links.html#info you need...

FYI http://www.foxkits.com/ sells seal kits for SEE Case M35 cylinders. He sells individual kits for each cylinder but also has a complete kit for the all the cylinders. I bought the set. It will be awhile before I get to try them out but I have at least one cylinder with a "diaper" (oil...

Thumbs up! I expect your pain may help out someone in the future.

Sounds like my old GMC Syclone in reverse. The exhaust header was way to close to starter which overheated the starter mounted solenoid. When it was cool it would work fine but once it got hot after a long drive the solenoid wouldn't engage. I pulled the starter and had it tested and it would...

Unfortunately all I see is a black box

I am having a tough time getting a link to you tube to work. I did find the video on leaking plastic fuel lines by a firm called MercedesSource on You tube. The video suggest cutting the plastic fuel line off but leaving the short length of plastic tubing that covers the hose barb. The new fuel...

I saw your clamp, a worm gear clamp might tighten things up a bit better. The type of clamp you used might crush one side of the hose and open up the hose a bit where the clamp doesn't fully wrap around the hose.
