Howdy all from a 404 owner
« on: April 23, 2015, 08:13:24 pm »
Hi all,

I recognise some names from years ago when i hung out on benzworld/difflock/tx404. A smaller number of you may have been to one of the Mogstock's I ran many years ago in the Northwest/Midlands area.

I'm Jim in manchester, proud co owner of a 404 doka with a hiab and a winch

lots of pictures and stuff on http://www.foodfight.org.uk/mog

We've had "Ingrid" for 10 years now, 2 years to restore her and she's been mostly on the road for the last 8. She has been off the road for a year but we're gonna get her back on it now. We registered as a HGV, so have a plate and everything, getting ready for a test now.

She's mostly in very good nick, but we have some starter issues (we need a new starter pinion and brushes) - waiting for Manfred at Westfield to get some in.

In other news, I have two daughters now, which sort of explains why I stopped spending 2 hr's a day talking nonsense about old tractors on the interwebulator.

Anyway, I just stumbled across this club/website earlier, and thought I'd say Hi.

Welcome Jim.
You have a lovely little mog there. Not seen a double cab 404 before but she looks sweet. I guess she's just a hobby mog for you?

Cheers Casto
