Steel Soldiers MV of the month 2018 - May VOTE HERE!

[papabear]

This reminds me of our local elections voting. Last night we elected a new Mayor and out of a population of 200,000, only a little over 26,000 voted. Of course not everyone is eligible to vote AND picture I'D is required so a lot of dead folks didn't get to vote.

 

[Migginsbros]

Yes, at half time 45 voters is not enought for a representive survey.

We campaign this month our 1987 FLU419.
Some modifications required for road use in our area like turn signals, rear lights, speedo scale, flagged loader, amber side reflectors.
Try to let the original parts in place.

Well, I'm not a big campaigner, but heres a few pics. got it with thos flat bed on it, had some fun with it. cleared some trees, that was a hoot,
I liked the flatbed, but wanted sides and love the short cargo look. Off with the flat bed, on with the dropside.

 

[8madjack]

no cranes or heavy equipment to help, just my gantry crane. gets wheeled regularly...

 

[8madjack]

I know she's just plain jane now, but some cool accessories are in the works. thanks for looking

 

[Migginsbros]

It´s not bad that you need no jack to change the tires.
Use your own hydr.system to get the lugs off with the impact driver.

[Migginsbros]

You can easy detach the front loader. To detach the excavator a little bit more things to doo.
1987 Freightliner SEE


Thank you to all voters.

 

[Migginsbros]

Yes,.....SEE`s buddy "Fugly the Fork truck" is on the transporter and looking foreward working on the historical building site,too.

 

[papabear]

It's still anyone's ballgame y'all!! There's about four days left to vote so pick your favorite and vote away....(unless you're dead ).

 

[Migginsbros]

Yes, we´re back from 2 days at the historic construction site.
The Freightliner Unimog SEE make new friends like the OPEL Blitz and the REO Dump Truck.

For all your MV Enthusiasts........more pictures comming soon.

 

[Migginsbros]

As described in the operators manual and the students guide a safety circle at first.


A small loader is almost better than a shovel


Vote for Migginsbros Freightliner Unimog 419 SEE this month, it´s like a "Swiss Army knife of the MV world"" (Tracer).
"Fugly the fork truck" (porkysplace) was a great help to load and unload the construction stuff.



All edits: correct missspelling

 

[Migginsbros]

View attachment 729604 The cab of the Opel Blitz, looks somewhat similar to a 1950-54 Chevrolet truck. Coincidence? If I remember correctly didn't GM own Opel until a few years ago?

This month we campaign our 1987 Small Emplacement Excavator.

Sometimes the sound of the explosion rammer overlay the video.


See how to fold out the CASE excavator in the video.
Thank you for voting for Migginsbros usefull MV this month.

To work on the FLU 419 SEE engine is not so easy as on the MAN F2000 truck (mechanic-hydraulic cap tilting pump/ like a hydr.jack)

To tilt the cabin of a SEE you must take off the loader and better the excavator, operators lever/linkage, FOPS, spare tire and some mounting plates.
Only a few sheets of the TM´s it´s done.


Think we bring you a little bit more information about this unique MV of the late 80th.

@Migginsbros: looks like you have loads of fun with your SEE

 

[Migginsbros]

Good day to all MV-enthusiasts.



Only a few days to vote for your favorite today.



Vote for Migginsbros Freightliner UNIMOG.
This versatile vehicle spend his retirement with little work and great fun in the gravel pit.
Much better than sitting for years in the backyards.

 

[Migginsbros]

Normally up to 100 voters a month.
So about 40 voters missed. It´s all up in the air.
Come on, let´s have a horserace.

 

[Floridianson]

Thanks to all that voted. Yea wish it did not just sit in my back yard. I had plans for her but after waking up in the hospital everything seems to have stopped in my world thanks to the Gashole that ran the stop sign.
