Nuke2000's truck is an M931A2 with the 5th wheel and toolboxes removed. A standard cargo bed was cut down to 12', with the fiberglass siderails and seats also redimensioned.

Here's some pics from his driveway on the day of the bed installation:

This is our FLU 419 SEE build in 1987. Equiped with a Schmidt front loader FL4 and a Case
backhoe. There is an aditional hydraulik unit installed for multiple tools like chainsaw, concrete breaker, power drill or impact wrech.
For street use the backhoe is stored on top off the FOP.
Theres a lot of fun also for the kids to use in a gravel pit.

Great campaigning so far!

If you had the "pleasure" to use this „thing“ at your time in the US forces,

you remember the sound level of the engine, the heat of 100 °F + in the small

cabin with your knees to the ears ( of course you´re wearing ear protection)…., you hated it.

We agree....… you´re right.



Fortunately we use our SEE not for the daily work. We use this vehicle as a little helper on our company site, for fun and cause of technical interesting in MV.
For longer distances to meetings where people bring their farm machinery especially UNIMOG and MB-trac
the SEE crawls himself on the transporter.

Is that rear ramp as steep as it looks, Migginsbros, HOW do you climb that ramp?!

First gear, 4 wheel drive, Diff locks and some self confidence.

Megatron wants to win. Don't upset him and send him into a rage. That is how movie plots get made.

We often get asked "How fast you can go with this tractor?" Highway speed is 55 mph.

If you wrap the windshield, put the FOP and the spare into the loader for balance...........
