General Banter! / Re: RE: 416, 406, 417 etc oil drain tray

Genius! I have the forestry plate on my 406 and it makes it a pain to change the oil.
Great job!

Fantastic!
It seems this adage may apply to you, "When you love your job you will never work a day in your life".

In regard to tire pattern tread direction the owner's manual from MB states the same. Place treads in opposite direction for road travel and for better traction off-road orient them in the same direction.

Looks like you are making good progress. Is there a particular reason why you put the rear cross member on upside down?

I am not an expert but I know that CO2 will give you better penetration but an Argon mix will create a smoother puddle. If you are welding sheet metal go with the Argon mix, if you are welding structural metal I would stick with CO2.

Yes, the lever in the cab engages the pto.

I can't think of what would be in the way preventing you to install a bottom pto. Maybe it doesn't fit on hydrostatic or transmissions with a torque converter. Do you have one of these?
The bottom pto is nice in that it allows you to direct attach an hydraulic pump that is only limited by the horsepower of the truck. The hoses that come off the bottom pump look to be about twice the size as the ones that come off the front pump. I think the bottom pto runs at the same speed as the engine rpms, maybe a little faster.
Wish I could help more...

Gentlemen,
Thanks for all the kind words.
Yes, it is a spinning corkscrew. Very dangerous if you're not careful, but one heck of a fast splitter. Splits wood faster that I can feed it. I have never had a piece of wood get stuck. I suppose if one did I would knock it off with another piece.
Yes, it took a lot of effort to change it from the condition it was in went I bought it to its present shape. I am not a mechanic by any means so I learned a lot along the way.
The ROPS is made by Case for 406 Unimogs they branded as their own. It is very thick walled, thicker walled tubing than my dad's Cat bulldozer. It mounts the frame using 4 large bolts through a flattish upside down "U" shape like the mid-mount Werner winches do. It is made to rest the backhoe on when it is folded up (I don't have one).
The upright exhaust was one of the best improvements I have made to the truck. It gets the smoke and stink up in the air instead of into my clothes and lungs. Especially when the truck is cold. It is hard welded to the ROPS because the ROPS is hard bolted to the frame. No movement anywhere. Maybe I didn't do it right but it has been several years now and there are no signs of damage anywhere.
Feel free to use any of the photos for your screen saver. You are very nice to ask, more so than the Farmi USA distributor. I was looking for winch parts and went to their site for the USA and while looking around the pages noticed my truck as one of the 4 photos they use to show off their product. See it here: http://www.northeastimplement.com/Products/Farmi-Winches/
The rear lights are not Unimog, but I am looking for some so if anybody has some for sale please let me know. The lights that are on the back of the truck are a result of me breaking the stock lights on one side when one of my tire chains broke swung up and tore off the fender and the lights mounted to it. It was a very violent action.
I sure am enjoying looking around the site at all the great Unimogs the club members have. Really some great trucks you guys have.
Best,
BWSwede

These are pictures of my Farmi winch being used. The pictures of the truck on the asphalt show how I anchored it to another truck using the front winch since the winch blade could not dig into the asphalt. The trees were short, fat 32" diameter logs about 200' down a ravine. I had to put an extension cable on the winch in order to reach them.

Here are some pictures of my truck. This set shows the wood splitter I sometimes use on the rear hitch.
