Unimog Barn-Find. part 1 - Will it start?

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Hello Everyone!!
So! A new tractor was needed on the lot. and we figured. why have a tractor, if you can have a Mog?
We found a "Barn-find" Unimog 421, from 1969, that showed up for sale, and we went for it.
The guy we bought it from, had plans to fix it, but didn't get around to it. and he bought it from one, who would fix it, but didn't get around to it, and so on... Meaning this has just been sitting in storage, in different barns, for the last many years. (At least 15-20 years)
But it was time for this old german to wake up, and get back at it!
If you want to follow the full build of this, i have made a playlist, that you can find here:

    still remember , me and 5 other fellas in the back of one of these during my draft in the late 80's. We just came back from an exercise at 2 AM and took a shortcut over a tank track flooded with water. At some spots it was almost 2 meters deep.The mud flew over the flatbed where we sat, the Unimog was at least half a meter over its axle in the mud but it kept running! Amazing offroad capability these little trucks have.

    Lovely old unimog Something a old truck driver told me here in the USA. When his rig would roll black smoke like that. He would put transmission fluid in at his next fill up. It would smoke just as black but after about 1/4 or 1/2 tank no more black smoke and the diesel would have more power.

    These were never the most aesthetically beautiful trucks ever manufactured... but their beauty is in their practical CAPABILITIES. These trucks off-roading abilities are legendary among the 4X4 community. This goes doubly, for former service members who have spent time in Germany, and have seen what the German Army does with it's Mogs. They aren't fast, but they ARE just about the most sure footed beasts around, off-road. Lots of torque, and their PTO's give them lots of interesting abilities that other 4X4's wish they had. Amazing trucks, and far more nimble than their height would suggest.

    They are beasts any way you put it. There are versions you can put on rails and they'll happily pull rail cars (or in the case of the Netherlands, subway cars. They have 'mogs who'll go into the tunnels and pull out the cars in case of power failure)

    These older unimogs are great old tools weve had 2 agri versions of this age . Simple machines to work on the only problem we found was not much hydraulic oil pressure to run modern farm machinery . But it coulda bn an age thing as we did change filters oil cleaned gauzes etc they just seemed to lack flow . But apart from that we power harrowed topped had them on a big grass mower for cutting silage grass . They ran rakes tedders etc well . Even lifted our 4 furrow knevnland reversable ploughs up . And managed to pull them .

    Nice. I ran a Wildland fire truck unit based off Unimogs here in the PNW US. Theyre SO fun to drive and use out in the bush. I wish they were easier to find and own here in the US and I wish we got the more modern U500 Dokas and espescially the 1300s/1500s, but I sure was lucky to get to use them as much as I did. The overhead would de-mob a whole unit of brush engines when we'd show up because we could get the trucks and foam/water into mostly unreachable places for the other trucks. Looking forward to seeing what you do with it. Cheers.

    Dear S.E.H Try a smaller Unimog with the old OM 636 engine. Then you would never criticise the "power" of a 421. In the old Unimogs the engine power is always limited by purpose, also the main gearboxes and the tires usually do not allow to drive fast enough at least for common traffic.
