Thanks Moose, on that advise on priming the brakes. Makes a lot of sence. Won't be near it for while, with great weather.

Hi Paul.
Ye pressurising the system seem right.
The information on these Mogs is pretty scant over here. I've relied on a couple of workshop manuals that seem to be translated poorly, not complete if you like. This club is the right idea, a pulling together of like minds. Moose seems a man that has had all these trials. Well thank you Rabbit, as they say here keep keep her Hummin

Thanks, Rabbit Recovery.
I have the whole lot on the bench actuator /master cyl. No fluid loss there, I fitted a new master cyl a few yrs ago. Next, to disc calipers.
While we're talking about brakes. Do you ever have trouble priming / bleeding your front brakes. Why I ask over all the time I have this mog I don't think I've had full purchase on those front brakes. Maybe I should be pressurising this system.

Thank Moose. Your a mine of info, looked up that Dintrinol. Impressive May change tac. What I have for it is a product called Rust Bullet plus Black Top coat. Should have taken my time 
Tell you what though. Have an interesting problem. When I took it off the road I just had, had a brake failure. All Fluid had gone from reservoir but external no leak. I've checked the master cylinder and diaphram, hasn't leaked at the handbrake unit on the back axle either. It's standing up a few months now. The discs are practically new, I haven't opened the calipers yet. I've serviced them many times, but this is a first.

To introduce myself properly
My name is Ger De Paor. I learned of this club whilst browsing looking of anything I could find on privately owned Unimogs. With the intention of maybe getting some contacts or help with my restoration.
First off, I want to thank you on accepting me into your club. I think the club is very interesting, and very informative and helpful.
Having worked my mog for the last 15 yrs in plant & Agri, it became necessary to take it off the road for some serious refurbishment. That's where I am now with it. It has been a serious mainstay all those years, towing heavy loads with very little trouble.
This week after I've finished with the new brake lines, I'm giving the chassis a special respray. It's called a rust prevention and primer all in one. I only had to pressure wash it about 7 or 8 times. Under all that grime, she's in great condition.
I'm no good with pics, I have them in old phones and camera's everywhere. Promise you I will try to salvage them, get some help to put them up. I know I have one very interesting one, that ye'd like. Of her towing a rubber duck no lowloader.
Anyway cheers for now.

Introduce Yourself / Mogs heavy steering
« on: May 17, 2016, 06:07:49 pm »
Hello everybody!
New to this. I Have a 437 /1700. She's very heavy on the steering especially in tight spots when trying to reverse a trailer.
I wonder has anyone heard of a heavy duty steering box for these. I'm sure I read about it some years ago. If you can help, I'd love to hear from you
