Introduce Yourself / Frame and PVC tilt for sale.
« on: March 06, 2020, 03:03:30 pm »
Hi Everyone,
I have a frame and PVC tilt built to fit a Unimog back body for sale.
It fits in the back of my U1200 perfectly, it is 188cm wide, and 194cm long.
The mesh cage has barn doors at the back, and the sides are hinged at the top to allow side tipping of woodchip or whatever.
Have a look at the pictures to get a better idea.
I would like £300 for this, or near offer.
Based in S. Leicestershire if you want to take a look at it or collect.
Thanks,
Malc.

Introduce Yourself / Cab tilt kit
« on: March 06, 2020, 02:54:31 pm »
Hi Everyone,
Can anyone tell me where I can buy a used cab tilt kit - hydraulic double action ram and pump - to fit a U1200? I have had a quote from Atkinson Vos, but it was way out of my budget. If you can help my e-mail is malburman@outlook.com
Thanks.

Hi everyone,
I have owned a 1983 U1200 since last February.
I bought it from a tree surgery company in Hertfordshire, they were selling two at the time so I bought the one I reckoned was best.
Since then I have had all the wheel bearings and some of the seals replaced professionally then started work on it myself. I have put new tyres on it, 395/85 x 20s, so that it runs a bit faster on the road, and it has a more imposing, taller look about it.
I sold the chip box and auto pick-up hitch it came with and bought a drop plate for towing with a regular 50mm tow ball as this is of more use to me.
Also fitted trailer/caravan towing electrics.
I've fitted a radio and speakers, cleaned and painted all the cab floor under the sound-proofing, fixed one or two other bits that weren't working, and have recently had a new 3mm steel floor welded into the tipper body. Currently painting all the sides etc to smarten it up for going to shows, tractor runs etc.
One problem I have is that although 4WD works OK (second position on the switch), diff lock (third position on the switch) causes a big air leak from both axle casings via the axle breathers. I suspect that seals on the diff lock pistons have let go. Is this the case, and how difficult is it to replace these? Any advice on this would be most welcome.
