I know this is an old topic...but I,m assuming this is a working Mog ? hence HGV test and the exhaust brake....my U1300L was registered in UK as a tractor, so no test.....I was lucky bought it at 44,000kms on the clock almost new......still only 47,000kms and no rust thereabouts...every year I get my WD 40 can and spray all around under the mats......and into any holes...8 years all still as it was.

Pulling together / Re: Mog to the rescue
« on: October 24, 2017, 11:15:16 am »
Sometimes even a big U1300L is no good for a certain type of rescue. Last winter I dropped my Wrangler off the edge of a narrow road into a ditch, it just slid in slowly with no real damage. I only fell into the ditch because the dumb snow plough guy had ploughed a lovely flat road including the two ditches at each side. I walked the mile home in dinner jacket in a snow storm.... (was at a charity ball and came home to check on the farm - chickens away etc.)........Fetched out the U1300L with a good 7.5 Ton electric winch and assumed it would be an easy peasy!!! Nope.......The Mog just kept sliding to the Jeep !!!! In the end I took the Mog home and came back to review the situation, I had put on snow suit and boots by then........I used a couple of snatch blocks to a tree that I could only get to by climbing through the other ditch then down an embankment chest deep in snow to attach a strop. The Jeep came out on it's own Warn 4 ton .....just like that...no problem, just a nice slow, oblique pull back up onto the road. Moral is a U1300L may look big but it is not that heavy...had I .....2 Ton of gravel on the back I might have done it with the Mog.

I hope all goes well with the Cummins project...plenty of diesel 404 conversions out there , but I have seen 4 and 6 BTs in Landrovers and Jeep Wranglers but not yet in a 404, people always say the 404 has the same problem as the Pinz (I have one with an OM602 conversion) the engine bay is narrow and you have a job fitting the engine in with the turbo always being in the wrong place, so it means major surgery to the 'dog box'.

Hi everyone...I,ve had a U1300L for about 8 years now......only tyres have cost, oil changes, parts less than £100 in 8 years well please with the smile it puts on my face. I used to be in UK but have moved it to my wifes farm in Poland, we spend some months here, some in UK and some all over europe...fit a big tent in the back of a U1300L.
