My equivalent is I took a piece of neoprene hose, split it down the side slipped it over the hose barb and then secured it with a screw type hose clamp.
The fuel line is PEX, an early version of what is now used for heating systems extensively in houses. It is heated up then slid over the hose...
Welcome to the board. Hopefully you lucked out and got one that had gone through a recent military reconditioning. It will make your life somewhat easier. There are a full set of military manuals specific to the SEE here http://www.pirate4x4.com/tech/billavista/Mog/ don't bother to print them...
The tool switch engages the air cylinder on the throttle. The electrical diagnosis section has some pretty good troubleshooting. One of the tech bulletins that I stored in the manuals sections covers these switches and the issue that they are prone to getting wet.
I haven't messed with my hydraulics so cant be of much help. Its not that I know the SEE any better, I just got it year earlier than most folks and have a years head start on chasing down bugs. I am an engineer by trade so I usually try to research the crap out of something trying to figure out...
EI has the sending unit socks. They are real coarse. Have you replaced the fuel lines at the top of the tank. They are inaccessible unless the tank is dropped.
On one of the forums there was a picture of a Schmidt plow on a SEE. I have also seen a reference once that the air force had a few SEEs with a Schmidt plow used for airport snowplowing. Some day when I take my loader off I plan to take some dimensions to make a match up mount to the SEE...
For a farm tractor a SEE is built and finished pretty well, not so much for a modern truck but these are all close to 30 year old pieces of equipment. They were built in the Unimog factory. The SEE is a 419 series but really its just the final evolution of the 406 series. The more modern looking...
In case anyone else is reading this thread and are not familiar with this system its operation is covered in the manuals but to the vast majority of SEE owners they should probably ignore it. The wiring is in place but the diagnostic scanner is separate service tool not supplied with the SEE. I...
The best option for hoses is go to hydraulic hose shop and have them make them up. They can measure them and match them up. This will not be inexpensive but far less than buying OEM. Sometimes the hose ends can be reused which saves a lot of money sometimes they cant.
To answer the air bleed...
Progress is a good thing. If you were nearer to me I probably shouldn't give you hints so we had access to a parts truck ;). I guess I need to remove my fuel pressure transmitter as it does clean things up. There is service bulletin that as delivered the tubing to the transmitter would rub on...
Sorry for repeating myself but I went through much of the same. The thing with the wires on it is fuel pressure transmitter for the diagnostic system. No use otherwise and other folks have removed it. I believe someone posted that the fittings are standard US thread. There were a pile of entire...
Have you tried my worse case method of diagnosing the fuel system?. If you haven't replaced the fuel filters replace them. Rig up a outboard motor fuel tank with a squeeze bulb and sit it up on the passenger seat and connect it up right at the inlet to the fuel pump, install a new style bleeder...
One thing I haven't gotten around to fixing is the ducting for the defroster ducts on mine. They got destroyed getting access to the back of the dash and figuring how to get them back in limited space is something I decided would be a future project. Mine is parked for the winter, until I put in...
With respect to stowing the boom, I have about a 50/50 success using the recommended overtravel approach. Sometimes I will get it first time usually after using it for several hours but rarely does it work if I am just showing it off. I have had some success latching the boom using the...
Out of curiosity how do you get access to the what I assume is a state federal surplus property auction facility? Generally you need to be an authorized government entity to access the equipment. I have seen the HMMH listed on the Idaho surplus property site for quite awhile. There apparently...
I expect this will be a sensitive issue with one member, but while surfing Amazon a show called "This is Breslau" popped up. No SEEs but its focused on a built Unimog competing in a hard core European offroad rally. The reason for the sensitivity is its about Jay Couch and his team. The sponsor...
Are you looking for the fittings that connect up to the flat face couplings on the end of the hose reel?. I bought a set of them from this company http://atlanticutilityservice.com/ They were listed on Ebay.
One of the tech tips for the SEE is that the rear switches that control the remote throttle, loader and power tools all are subject to shorting due to water leakage into the wiring. I would start with running the electrical diagnosis to make sure its not a wiring issue.
With respect to the Schmidt Loader
If you haven't already done so it may help to download the various military technical manuals for the SEE. The parts breakdown manuals are sometimes quite handy in figuring things out.
