I love this little "mog" she fantastic.

rugged incomparable in design and agility.

I so appreciate the opportunity to see one of my favorite trucks. I know that owning a Unimog is beyond my means, but I can still dream.

She has some real potential there. A real diamond in the rough.

Good job

And here is the neighbour again.

Beautiful little truck, a few ones are in Argentinian Army, proudly produced in Mercedes Benz Argentina, González Catán.

Well, i have never been to Canada, and i have never been enlisted in an Army. but i am a Mechanic. hah :) Thanks for the compliment though. And thanks for watching!

Good stuff my friend!! Keep it going!!💪

a freind of mine- a former french legion men- had lived on such a old UNIMOG- he had a tent on the truck and was happy...

What an Impressive Little Workhorse, I Love it!

Even at that age and in that state... still a beast! Looking forward to see more.

Looks like a boatload of fun on four wheels.

Even in a sad condition and as old as dirt this thing is still impressive. A true legendary beast.

It just goes to show you that old stuff can be just as functional as the new stuff; and maybe better because you don't have to worry about scratching the paint. AWESOME RIG

Find a big enough hole even the unimog will get stuck It is a fantastic little truck 😍😍👍👍

Back in the 60s in Germany, I used to watch them being used to shunt railroad cars.

Incredible Job Chaps ,Great to watch people who their way around an engine .

what a hoot this old UniMog has turned out to be, i have a friend who was with the German military stationed in Shilo ,Manitoba and use to visit there and see their Unimogs running around the base performing various tasks and we measured it the drivers feet in the Unimog were at the same height as my head in my Volvo 240, I love all the work in the first video it reminded me of my farm ag equipment days and building tractors for a living back from 1979-1985 good times , love all this old stuff and i know from friends in Germany you can still get most parts you need for them and that is what makes them so attractive to, it doesn't have to be pretty , it just has to work so you can have fun, my uncle on the farm use to say farm tires never give you mileage, they give you longevity,😂 you got a subscriber

I think all your managing to accomplish is to turn your tires into chocolate donuts. My friend managed to get one of those buried up to its axles in muck and we really didn't have anything to pull it out so we borrowed the neighbor's John Deere 990r tractor with tracks and we got it out with the J.D.

Fantastic

Dear TAF. I think to hear that the engine is still not running right and has not all the usual "power" output. Not only because it starts bad and smokes, but there are knocks to hear where they don't belong. Maybe at least 1 injection nozzle isn't spraying right but drips a bit. Please kindly allow me to suggest that you check all injection nozzles. Also the glow plugs of course. I'm eagerly looking forward to watch the next part. Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards luck and health to all of you.

Yes, you are right, i'm also very certain that the injectors are bad. they look like they are the original ones. and have likely never been serviced. and combined with it having stood still for many years, that have very likely lost a lot of spring pressure, and are probably leaking aswell. But don't worry, it's on the list of things to fix 👍

Rode hard and put away wet, Nice work! I see you have a Ford IDI diesel in your shop as well I have an 89 great truck but id rather have that Mog.

Nice multipurpose truck.

Unimog is a unique vehicle. I got to spend a couple of hours in one of the new ones at the test facility in Germany. They will pretty much go anywhere. The idea to bring them to the US around 2001 just didn't work out. Unless you just had to go off road or deal with deep snow, they were a little too pricey.

Awesome! It seems to be running well, I like the sound of the diesel motor.

Nice aquisition. Any offroad addicted would jealous on you. But there should not be blamed failure lockers from diff, but TYRES which are garbages 😂

The one that my friends that I have originally had a gasoline engine and the previous owner converted it to propane and propane gives you a little more power than petrol does and that's probably why we made it up to 56 miles an hour

Muy interesante.

Really cool to see guys who exactly know what they are doing! Also the engine work! For tyres I recommend Continental/ Mitas 320/70R20 AC70T, they fit on the original 9inch rims . I also run them and the traction is unbelievable, I can drive some stuff in 2WD now which i couldn´t before, even with 4WD! On the video it looks like you already got the nice original -10mm offset rims, but it also seems you got the narrow axles, so spacers or different rims might be needed for the Mitas 320/70R20 AC70T. (if you want to go that direction) Good Luck with your projects!

Nice U 421! Does it have the OM 615 with 45 HP inside? Just by the sound I'd say yes. Not a power house but it's ideal for stationary purposes like driving a crane or a log splitter. Enough power but way lower fuel consumption compared to the U 406/ 416

Thank you very much sir. And yes, i have been working professionally as a Mechanic since i was 17. Mostly on heavy diesels.

Those tires def were not doing you any favors in that mud hole.

You will hear and see it filling constantly if it's not sealing

Great vehicle, great work! Do you do your own copper bending? It looks great. I think that the air brake unloader you got is not an original WABCO item, but a cheap copy. Hopefully it will last. I also think that the diff. lock was air controlled. Another good thing will be to check the old air compressor for oil carry over. If it does, it will slowly destroy the entire air system. My 0.02$: Any screw or nut you tighten (unless it is used for grounding), always make sure there is a drop of oil or grease on the threads. About 20 years ago I read a study published by Volvo's heavy vehicle division, in which the importance of this was explained, not only in favor of reopening in the future, but also better tightening of the assembly with decreasing force values ​​on the metal. Take care!

@KJOff-Road

3 жыл бұрын

Thank you very much! Yes, i actually bend the copper by hand. i do like to make them look nice. Makes for an over-all cleaner look. And yes, the valve is a cheap one. i took the chance, as it is a very simple valve. so it will most likely be ok. and it's easy to replace, should it break. And yes, the lockers are Air-activated. We will be showing that in the next video 👍 We did also check the compressor. and its all good 👍 And yes, i have long ago made it a habit to lubricate all the threads. It dose indeed help reach the correct torque. Thank you for your interest!

I don't find it too important on these small ones. as they are not so heavy, and they can't really go fast. so they seem to have sufficiente stopping power

How much did that Unimog cost in that condition in Denmark? Keep up the good work.

Is that a Ford 150 or a Ford ranger sitting in the corner of your shop I can't tell from here

All that's missing is the sound track of Yackety Sax.

What grade of copper pipe for the brake lines? I presume it is this type, not house grade soft copper? KBP316 Kunifer Cupro Nickel Brake Tube 3/16" x 7.6M (25Ft)

it is very difficult to "kill" an unimong

They were impressive machines and still are . Pity about the poor sound quality of the video though .

My friends and I managed to get the minivan unimog up to 56 mph

You have a really nice Unimog there. Seeing you have front and rear Ptos the Mog seems to be well quipped, besides being relativley rust free.. Does it also have the two crawler groups with split gears? Does it have 6 or 4 speeds on the main shifter? Can't wait to see how well the little Mog is going to work when the lockers work and new tires are fitted! Keep up the good work!
