Well it was worth a try. I actually bought a cylinder rod for mine as the one on the rig has several rust spots. I know I can buff them out but figured I might as well pick up a rod as it some point it makes sense to change it out.
Any chance the missing cylinder is this one ?

Not cheap but I expect a heck of lot better than buying it new from Case. This backhoes was...
I have the cause of my dashboard electrical problem, rats or some other critter. I pulled the fuse panel and the intake air duct and found the remnants of a some sort of critters nest. I don't mind critters sharing space, but this one chomped through wiring. I pulled the instruments and on some...
I see that the a town or city police department in Carlton Michigan has a see on Ebay for sale with no minimum. I expect they got it on federal surplus inventory and decided that they didn't need it.
C&C Equipment which sells SEEs frequently (they have one up on Ebay currently) mentions they a have parts. I expect when they buy complete units, they probably buy a few parts vehicles. I have not dealt with them yet .
Well I put my electrical issues aside this evening and with a helper managed to get the backhoe partially deployed. The PTO lever likes to pop out so in the short term I have to hold it in. The throttle control switch worked once and then wouldn't idle up so I stopped before unlatching the boom...

I have noticed a couple of bracket variations for various mog models while searching for a pair. Everthing else needed to lift the cab seem to...
If some kind soul would just make up dimensioned drawing and post it in the manuals thread on the pivot brackets, they sure don't look like they would take a lot to fabricate, just some flat bar and some round stock.
Thanks for the pictures!. I have a fairly major electrical gremlin to sort out on mine and once I get that sorted out I hope to be able to start rigging some tooling for the inevitable point where I need to flip the cab.
I currently can start the SEE, but none of the other electrical systems...
I wish Expedition Imports would list one of a kind items in their listings. I would have snapped up that accessory tool kit in heartbeat if I had known that it was one of kind. Thanks for posting the pictures of the jack for the load. I guess I need to build one now.
While looking for a Unimog SEE (the one with the loader backhoe), I found several on various state surplus government property sites. The equipment is available only to approved local and state government entities and not available to civilians. There is a generally a requirement the entity that...
