Please read the operator manual. Then find the pneumatic throttle control within arms reach of the right hand side of the backhoe operator. But seriously, please read the operator manual.

As much as I like to keep my FLU stock, I always figured I would replace the couplers with something more common here. Pioneer couplers, or Flatface as FluFarm suggested. Looking at the connectors on it, they have a small diameter and short body the take the weight if the hose hanging off...

When Mercedes designed it, they weren’t fools. Something has changed in the mean time for it to not work. On mine, the plastic hand throttle gets lifted to the side and swung down past the stop to kill the engine. When it is against the stop, it should be at idle. Am I miss-reading your...

Ok, start sharing. Why should I take time out of my day to type up a procedure that you are too lazy to look in a TM. They exist for a reason. Personally I do think this forum gets too wordy at times, but I take what I get when it’s free.

Start with the TM’s . This did not need a post.

I have a spare loader pump. I’ll try to get the numbers off it.

As the om352 is not a sleeved engine, I run plain Green antifreeze.

From what I can see, G103351 is a 2.5” diameter rod for the model 35C while G33162 is a 2” diameter rod and was used on the model 35 backhoe.No inventory of the 2.5” rod. There was a special use cylinder G109713 with a 4” bore and 3” rod diameter. Could be a nice upgrade, but no stock available.

Good idea. Years of working on things have taught me to proceed very slowly when changing things. Since you are adding air in the reverse of the typical direction, I would add a regulator or a ball valve as a restrictor to allow you to adjust how fast the air comes into the tank. This way you...

My sprayer came with a hard composite wand which fit into the compression fitting on the end of the on/off valve. So I cut the wand into pieces and have multiple adapters. One was in the photo I just posted. On another, I heated a pvc hose and stretched it over the composite wand piece. Then I...

First fit of the bracket for a USB charger. This one 3D printed, later ones in Steel.

Here is a picture of my bleeder setup. Note that the tube sticks down below the cap a little bit. I set the pressure tank on the ground and once I am done bleeding, I let the pressure out of it. The residual fluid runs down into the tank via syphon so I don’t have to suck out extra fluid. I...

I have a relay on order. I don’t want the backup buzzer to sound when I activate the lights with the switch on the side of the deck, nor do I know how much current the backup buzzer circuit can handle. So I will tap into the backup buzzer to run a relay that will switch power from the running...

If memory serves, they are 3” different, so 6” additional track width. The particular rims I have are off of a US military mine sweeper. They had hit the parking brake on the rear of my Unimog #2, so I had just run them on the front. Someone else on this forum has them on a FLU with no problems...

Bingo. Even if the 14.5 are a little older, I am not worried. The 12.5 are marginal with the additional weight of the SEE. I am going to put the 14.5 on my Drum brake rims for extra track width and stability.

Let’s also recall that if we don’t support the primary parts vendors, they cease to exist. I know it is convenient to find stuff locally, but in many cases they have to order it in anyway.

I have a spare rim. But shipping from PA may be prohibitive. I just purchased 6 Michelin 14.5R20's from Eastern Surplus. Will post results once I get them on.

Look at TM4-2420-224-24P-1, page 119. You will get to tilt your cab.

I am in the process of making a few doo-dads for my FLU and thought I would open it up to more people. I already sell the Cab tilt brackets through Expedition imports. Below are three additional ideas I would like to make. Not yet offering for sale, just getting feedback. A new power port/...
