Will what are you goo a use it for ? Pick up hitch is ok if you want to move an old farm trailer but you don't want to move anything to big as you'll soon overload the back axle Unimogs are best suited to balanced trailers with a max nose weght of one toone on the rockinger hitch. It's my opinion that pick up hitches are old hat nowadays they where when from the fifties when we were running around in two wheel drive tractors and we needed tractio. On something that can do 40/50 mph you really need balanced trailer with air brakes.
There a reason pickup hitches are not legal in Europe at high speed, saying that pickup hitches at speed are legal in UK towing of the axle is possible and indeed auto guide made one that was approved.
Again will whats your primary use ?

Now then Will if the cab mounts are anything like the genuine thing and looking at the pictures you must put the large washer on or one day the cab bolt will pull through the rubber. the washer is around 75mm and about 4mm thick. Having said that they look like a good alternative, how much are they?

Wow that was hard work one rim per night they where properly rusty, down to the shot boasters next and then a suitable coating and then the most expensive bit TIRES I wish you could still buy the old Michelin bibex xm47 they were awsome tires the new xm47 isn't a patch on them still good in my opinion marginally better than the Continental Ac70. The cases on the xm are the same I think but I'm sure the rubber is of a softer material and the old bibex tire had a more aggresive tread and they also had a bead protector as well. We need to find someone that can retread the cases with the bibex patern.

Just bought some rims of ebay they are split rims 11x20s not a very popular rim as a rule unless you know what they are but for our purpose the are perfect very strong heavy and best of all can be fitted with run flats.
Main reason there not popular is they rust and when rusty they are difficult to split and indeed these are rusty, done two of them gonna get them shot blasted but wondering what to paint them with, needs to be hard as nails but thin due to the nature of these split rims, thinking about painting them with POR 15 used it before but I think it's best used on rusty metal to adhere properly.
Will put some pictures up when there done.

Pressed steal axles not so easy to gear the old girl up, I don't know a lot about these axles by they are similar to 404 would be worth doing some research to see if they are different ratio to the 411. Saying that I wish my 411 went up hills as fast as she goes down them  :D
