Unimog is probably the only vehicle that would survive a zombie apocalypse. That's what makes them so freaking awesome. Very nice fabrication and repair.
I like your content a lot! The unimogs are cool and the way you edit and add music: great work, i can relax while learning and enjoying someone else's struggles :)
@@mikescudder4621 Yes. Arg was the first country where they were built outside of Germany by Daimler Benz Arg in 1968. U421/431, U416/426 & U406 models were built. You can Wikipedia it under unimog.
@@jonatanechenique7271 Very cool.... I worked as a mechanic in Patagonia, a few hours south of Bariloche, and my boss, an ex army guy, had a Dodge power wagon 6x6!! That thing was pretty cool. But a Unimog is a Unimog!!
@@mikescudder4621 Yes. the sides were completely flush with the inside edge of the housing, so there was no way to knock it out. so welding a few blobs on it, gave me some points to hit against, to knock it out.
Please tell us why you did not power wash the engine and gearbox before you tore into this project. I always find a nice clean job site helps keep curd out of my work.
I usually do. and i have washed most of it. But the front-facing side of the gearbox, that is shown here, is all tucked up underneath the cabin, it was hard just finding a way to get a camera up under there, to film it. and it's near impossible to get in there to wash it. atleast, without laying dierectly under there, while doing it. But at some point i will be removing the cabin for repairs, and then i will be able to clean everything underneathe aswell. Thanks for watching!
Dose the PTO automatically set a RPM/speed governor of that model Unimog? I like the Unimog, especially when they are use as emergencies vehicles. The closest I will ever come to ownings a Unimog is the small scale plastic mode I built a few years ago.
No. This is a very basic design, where the PTO is just a direct output from the gearbox. and you manually set the Rpm. with the "Hand throttle" in the cab. Thanks for watching!
I really like Spur vids of this little Unimog. Your front lift build looks really good. Only thing I would change is the big square tube in between the two lifting arms. I would replace it with something smaller. But it's just personal preference. :)
Nice job fabricating that mounting hardware. I am still trying to find a 404 or 406 here in the US, however, they are not cheap. $20 - $40,000.00 . Looking forward to part 6
Crazy hunh I bought one in the early 1990s paid about 2500 for it that and my other favorite truck WM300 Dodges are thru the roof used to get those for dirt cheap as well...Good luck in your search there was a guy on ebay that had 3 mogs in TN coouple of months ago not sure if he sold them or not.
@@deepbludude4697 Thanks , I'll check them out. I do have 2 Dodge trucks though. Both diesel. One is a 93 first gen (W250) and the other is an 02 2500 six speed manual.
Ace! Mog’s back! Some serious design and fabrication there! Great work. Living the 80s style tunes too. Some monster brackets too, what sort of welding kit (current wire diam etc) did you have to use?
Thank you very much. I don't have any extreme welding gear, just a 200A Esab, with 1mm wire. So for some of the really thick parts, i made angled cuts, to start the weld deeper down, and then did an extra pass on top. Thanks for watching!
Very good quality work, as usual. I assume you will be removing the cab for sheet metal repair at some point? That will be a great time to pressure wash all of that caked grease from the drivetrain. Good video man.
Indeed. That side of the gearbox that was shown, is all up underneath the cab, and it's not easy to get in there to wash it. so yeah, it will be done, once the cab is out of the way.
Your fabrication skills are outstanding.
Again, this guys fab skills are next level. Good job!!
Awesome work fabbing all that up!
Unimog is probably the only vehicle that would survive a zombie apocalypse. That's what makes them so freaking awesome.
Very nice fabrication and repair.
Good backgroud music, and work done here, amazing
I actually really like the new wave/ synth driven music, It's perfect music for working on Mogs.
So this is how to convince the wife that a unimog is essential for a farm!!
Now i just need to convince her we need a farm!
Exactly! ;)
Good luck, brother.
@@humancattoy7767 Cheers! I'm up against it to say the least!

Nice work, you are a genius updating this Unimog. Enjoyed the video
A Great fabrication job, looks like a factory mount !
Thanks a lot!
Right on brother take care of you mog
Now that is the way to mow lawn.
So good to see you back working on your fine old mog, looking forward to the next
Cheers fellas you bring much enjoyment
Very nice.
Många tack!
Tack för att du tittade!
A pleasure to see how you approach things 💯👍🥇
Thank you sir!
Impecable work, as always. Thanks for your videos, big fans from Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Buenas, desde brasil... does Argentina have any Unimogs?
@@mikescudder4621 Yes. Arg was the first country where they were built outside of Germany by Daimler Benz Arg in 1968. U421/431, U416/426 & U406 models were built. You can Wikipedia it under unimog.

@@mikescudder4621 Nice, bet you have some stories.
Thank you very much!
Great job. I love that Unimog, especially the colours.
Thanks a lot!
Great project, and lots of creative thinking going into making that work well, not just throwing parts at it. Cheers from the middle of North America!
Thanks a lot!
I never saw a Unimog before. I think I’d like to own one but I’m in Texas.
great job again . I;ve rebuilt all the pto stuff front and rear on the 406 i had
Thanks again!
Looks and works great man! Looking forward to your next videos! 👍
Like your videos because they are very well executed!
Thank you very much!
@@KJOff-Road The background music is in the background. Thank you for that. It is a treat to see a Mog used as designed.
I wonder where I can learn skills like this. I am going to start looking into that.
more videos and more often please :)
I would love to.
But some of these things take a long time to make. and i only have my spare time to do it.
@@KJOff-Road i know but they are good honest videos, thats what makes them so dam good :)
Flip man I love watching your videos.
Thank you!
Resourceful and well done. Cheers from Eastern Canada!
Thank you!
You should have explained why you ran a weld on the bearing race. I have used that trick many times.
Yes. you are right. i just didn't think of that, at the time.
By adding material is it easier to knock out??
@@mikescudder4621 Yes. the sides were completely flush with the inside edge of the housing, so there was no way to knock it out. so welding a few blobs on it, gave me some points to hit against, to knock it out.

It was nice and clean when he went to put the seal back on - around the seal!

That's a great machine. Good job.

And yes, that middle section is a bit too big and beefy for these kinds of small jobs. but i don't really mind. :)

And yes, they really have gone up in price, over here aswell.
Excellent stuff.
Den bliver da bare mega mega lækker
Det håber jeg da :)
so what part of europe are you lads in ??
From Denmark :)
@@KJOff-Road thanks was not sure as I belive there are a couple of the nordi countries that run yellow front plates
Entertaining series
Thanks!

Nice!
Nice work.. Looks good.. tomlen op (y) Nordfyn ?
i can't work as a mechanic i would have to pressure wash all that dirt or i woulden't be able to sleep at night
Where did you purchase you front mount from? That is what I would like to install as well! Great video! Thank you!
Det sku en græsslåmaskine der siger spar 2 :P
Lift doesn't look good.
He is a restomoder its not really worth the trouble watching.
The music junked another video 👎👎👎👎👎👎💩💩💩did you vent the housing you put the oil in?
