Re: Reerection of an Unimog 411.119 from 1974

Thank you Neil. It was a long journey, more than 2000hrs. But is has again the condition when it left the factory in 1974. Maybe a little bit better.

I did some improvements, like a dry air filter, a state of the art oil filter cartige, and fast glow plugs. Now the Unimog 411 can breath better, the new motor oil technology (old style motor oil is no longer available) can be efficient and filtered by a modern mico-filter. Starting the engine is a 10 seconds job with the 11.7V parallel glow plugs. The glow system is no longer down if one glow plug is broken (like the old serial glow plug connection).

And the 43HP give the Unimog a boost, so that it runs more than 70km/h (not going up-hill). The 53km/h are history.

Regards,
Markus
