"I've Always Wanted A Unimog" / Re: 404 fuel tanks and other parts Wanted

« on: September 10, 2021, 06:55:28 am »

some parts are still available from Mercedes but they’ll be expensive, there are very few dealers in Europe now that have 404 parts all I can suggest is google it and ebay.de and UK parts do crop up.

Hi Oliver the lever on the side of the gearbox is 540/1000 rpm selector for your pto these speeds relate to an engine speed of around 2000rpm I say around because it depends what gears you have in the box.
6.5 to 7.5 bar for your air system.
The switch has the same plastic knob as some other Unimog models and is still available from a Unimog dealer.
The pickup hitch will have been fitted as they were not fitted from the factory and you want to be careful not to overload the back axle.
Where are you based ? Also let’s see some pictures

Certainly getting harder to find in the UK still a lot of good suppliers in Europe but some parts are still available through dealers in UK try Ibbetts south cave or AC price Atkinson Voss, but the older mogs aren’t on EPC nowadays.

Remember you can only select a gate at a time on your Unimog model you can not go from say 2 to five without going into 3 or 4 same with the others 4 to 5 can be stiff to select when cold it’s a good sign because your going through a splitter and means the gearbox is nice and tight. I should change the gearbox oil whatever you fill it with make sure it’s gl4 but like I said I recommend 75/90 sin.

Welcome to the club frank 👍 the prices on the ex ADF Unimogs is unreal compared to euro prices I’ve seen a few winches for sale off those but the cost of transport is expensive to ship to Uk.
I would recommend changing your transmission oil to 75/90 sun as a lot of military Unimogs were filled with single grade oil for simplicity. Also find some 395/85r20 tyres and Hutchinson rims will make a massive difference to your Unimog
Lastly when you say caravan make sure you fit a cushioned tow ball as recommended my Mercedes your Unimog has very hard suspension on the rear and can break an a frame on a caravan.
Enjoy 👍
