We have a similar project the the special above personally I'd like a bit more cross bracing on the the roll frame plus I can not see anywhere that allows for flex in the chassis 😊

Norsk,

I have the parts list and a PDF of “Workshops Manual Unimog 421-411 Volume 1” and have ordered the rest. The trick is that the truck has been heavily modified. For example:
   90’s Nissan non-turbo diesel engine (from a Navara?)
   Hydraulic steering
   Modified air system
   Air actuated lockers
   Hydraulic pump & controls
   Modified rear PTO
   Add on 3 point hitch
   2 inch lift on front axle

That makes it a bit awkward figuring out what’s what.

I’m going to post some pics under “411 in Norway” to make sure there is no confusion with the one above.

Thanks for your help.

Cheers,

Tom

Hello Tom

Business is going well,the economic effects of the lay-offs from the Oil industry have effected peoples disposable income somewhat though.Sign of the times I guess.

There might be dealer manuals available online for you Machine,they have exploded diagrams of each assembley as well as list all the part numbers.

I will have a look now for you

godt påske

Norsk,

I'm about 700 k's north of you, in Åfjord, referred to by the tourist board as "Norway in Miniature".

My little 411 was modified heavily by a guy who had the creativity of the guy who built the one above but without the attention to detail. When the manuals arrive I will try and figure out what are modifications, why they were made and what to keep.

You know the price of 4wd tractors in Norway so, for me at least, this is a cheap alternative with a lot of potential for this area.

How's the tree business in Bergen? I was involved in it 40+ years ago back home and still do a bit for friends.

Lykke til sørover.

Tom

Maybe not front linkage, but one of those lighter, pickup truck blades they have in the US. Clearing would definitely be fun. Especially if it was enclosed and had a heater.

That's smart. Would look a bit funny with a linkage on the front though! :D

Not something for a purist but it would make clearing the snow on the drive a whole lot more fun.

I hope Google translate works.
