Well, we"ve got the engine swing done. Still working on minor things like wipers and lighting. What a beasty. You have to swing the body up on brackets you attach to the frame. After that it is fairly straight-forward.

Pretty neat truck! I guess you want to keep the passenger compartment fairly clutter-free. Otherwise you'll have a windshield full of loose change and burger wrappers when you open up the engine compartment! For sure don't leave a stray sledge hammer laying on the floor!

This is the story that I have read about concerning Unimog. After the war, Germany was not alllowed to build war equipment. This includes army trucks/transporters. But they could make farm equipment. Using this loop hole, unimogs were built and classed as tractors, even though they had obvious military applications. There was farm equipment designed for them to make seem more farm related.

The Unimog when first built after the war was a
much smaller and more agri in nature. It had a 4 cyl. diesel with front and rear PTO, 3 point,
hydraulics and small pickup bed. They developed
over the years after WW II sanctions were lifted.

Looks like a human mouse trap to me.

What do you mean by "Engine swing"?

Vern, I work in a tractor trailer shop and that is the term they use to describe changing an engine. The engine is lifted on a crane and then they 'swing' it out of the way.

The mog is a really something. The front and and rear pto shafts can spin at 540 or 1000 rpms. You can also power the front or the rear or even both shafts together!(I guess you could run your sawmill on one end and log splitter at the other). It has a huge winch in the center of the truck that is would with 5/8" cable. It can be two wheel drive, four wheel drive, or four wheel drive with air operated differential locks. Between the drive choices and the winch there is no reason this vehicle should ever get stuck.

I'll be finishing incidental stuff today and get some other photos of the complete vehicle.
Chris.

Say Chris, What are the particulars of this Unimog?

I don't own the 'mog. Sometime ago on this forum I told the story of the unimog and a broken brake line. They bought it in St. Louis and were driving back to Canada. They made it to Indiana before it shut down with engine damage.

Due to my helping them with the brakes after work, they asked me if I could handle the engine replacement. I said yes and he shipped me the unimog and the engine to install. It was quite an experience that I may have never gotten in these parts.

I got to drive unimog around town twice, felt like the mayor with everyone staring. It was great. I parked in front of the parts store I go to and before I made it inside every employee was pressed against the windows looking out! I love that kind of attention you get from driving something nobody else has or hasn't even seen before.

They took it back to Canada yesterday. It only moves at 50 KPH. It's gonna take forever from the St louis area. I can't wait for the call to tell me they made it safely.

Chris.

It has a 352 6cyl diesel. It is a model U1100 or
416 with a Doka cab. Trans could be anything from
a 6 speed to a 20 speed or a 6 spd. with a torque
converter. Trucks are used as firetrucks, public
works, private use, military and ambulances.

Chris, great pix, thanks. I find unimogs particularly interesting in that I use a deuce-and-a-half as a pickup.

Gotten it stuck twice, once in mud on a 30% slope road, winched it out. The other time was ice on a 15% road. Lost traction going up. Stood on the brakes but kept going backwards. That's when you steer for the bank. Hit some ice and you'll know why you also want some chains for at least 1 axle. That's a heavy sled.
