Unimog Club UK

Glad you got you mog sorted, I did think to my self the other week if you had sorted it and where there, I had thought of going on the Saturday but didn't make it, could still here the cars from here, it was very still and quite Saturday afternoon.

Tony,
The is, or should be a pin running horizontal on the clevis part, remove that pin, then release and lower the hook as normal, about 1/2 way, the clevis will lower down as well, pull the clevis drawbar outwards, and the will be 2 holes in, line up with the hole in the carrier to which ever one you need for the length of drawbar you want, then drop the same pin you removed from horizontal in the hole vertically.
Putting the lynch pin, or R clip on you need to lift the draw bar up by hand, leaving the hook down, and reach between to fit the clip.
The clevis is locked and ready to be used now, and can be lowered to ground level if needed to hitch some thing up, then raised as normal until it locks up, the same as the hook.
Has yours got an air release on the hitch?

Hi John, welcome, an other U1000 owner here.
Some external panels are available, I`ve not seen internal panels for sale, but not to hard to fabricate replacements your self.
A couple of the well know uk dealers or ebay.de a good place to start looking.

Hi John, Welcome aboard
I have also got a U1000 that came from Modie-Bond (RIP )
I live Nr Stroud also so not a million miles away! Which part of Wiltshire are you in?
Its good to see more land Rover owners especially ones with a lamping light on it (Note to Villager, we need a shooting area of the forum
I hope your cab has less rust than mine did, it was a few weeks of cutting and welding to get it solid.
Does your Mog have a pick up hitch, If so may I have a picture of it as I am missing a piece and want to copy one?
Being in Wiltshire means you are close to Ken Day, If you need any help he is one of the best Unimog guys I know.

Tony

What type of hitch do you need a picture of? I`ve got a ARM(I think), type, a PUH hook, and clevis above, similar to the type fitted to deutz tractors of a similar age.

Was it as moose mentioned in the other thread, a torque converter transmission?
Looks a nice truck you have there, I like the look of the 417`s myself. 

I guess you`ve all ready seen it, there is a round cab mog with a small crane on ebay at the minute.

I think I seem that one heading into Stroud a little while ago, or one very similar, a bit of an unusual colour.
Are the cabs fiberglass on the new shape ones? The one on the telly had seemed to burn away to nothing.

Regarding the extra pipes on the fuel tank, as moose said, the cab is a cut down crew cab, all the crew cabs I`ve seen have had a extra heater/block heater running off a night heater type set up under the rear bench seat, my guess would be thats what the extra pipes where for.
