It looks like these are cast iron resistors. They are designed for short duration. Are these modules in series or in parallel? Maybe getting the plate heaters from a cold weather heatpump or better industrial electric heater might be a better way to go. Are you testing in single or three...

Haha, yes Guy, here the same. I prefer to make it fit while holding it next to it. To many small lines on a tape measure to trust my eyesight or my memory. I might have already screwed up by cutting the old tube of and welding the green 404 one back on.. The steering wheel shaft has a spline...

Sorry nothing about pinzgauer. Cool machines. Today I aligned all my steering shaft and adapters and tacked it together. Ordered an oil seal 25*42 to seal the now open top of the steering box. I have to make and mount a larger plate to disperse the steering reaction forces to the sheet metal...

Haha, yes I thought he was funny to. The snow is slowing this project down. I had hoped to have the AHU diesel in the shop but is is still stuck in the snow. all the diesel conversion threads I have read require some kind of cab conversion. Also there are lots of issues with finding a proper...

Sorry folks, I have been disconnected a bit. Time goes by. well the bus has a new windshield. Still need to finish the "new" RV door on the side, Then I got distracted by another 404. Earlier i had mentioned to build a bus body on the a 404 as an exercise for an expedition camper... for...

Happy 2021 everyone..!!

Hi David, that is kind of what I did... Ground the edges down.. checked all other rockers with a feeler gauge to see if there were ridges... Seems no...mounted the old one and installed spring.. reset clearance. . Checked for oil out of the lube tube above the camshaft.. Checked the chain...

Hope all of you had a good Christmas. It is cold and windy in pennsylvania. 30 F and real feel 25F.. the Mog is sitting outside..previous mentioned that the engine has a loud light tick.. not sure if it was valves or chain but ..I wanted to find out before something catastrophic would happen...

He Student of the wrench, best to you..let the oil do the work.. Thanks to many for your inputs . I probably need to crank my 404 now that they are here in wet Pennsylvania. Still not sure where the ticking noise originates from.. nor do I have an idea how a loose timing chain sounds like...

Thanks Guy and David, it is amazing that after three weeks i still wake up at 4 to 5 AM. Not even sure from what, guess my mind is still processing how much luck we had. Not specifically religious but I find myself thanking a lot more. Rosie is doing well, the ehmer sling is off and she...

Thank you more experienced folks for helping out... I have been tied up lately with the after math of a car accident. Black ice... 40 mph.. going up a slight incline..rear end broke out..unable to bring it back...slid over the road ..hit bank on opposite side..drove up.. flipped sound 180...

Hearing your problems it seems that I was just lucky...and lazy...did not want to remove the radiator.. your method should work better. How big is your breaker bar. Mine was 6 ft and I was jumping on it.

Sorry folks, I was caught up in reroofing our house. 24 gauge metal... Thanks for the feedback. So I am extra aware of the first gear and it does not happen anymore. Love hauling and riding with the mog. Amazing how many people give you a thumbs up. From day one this motor has aloud...

Wow, that was quick, thank you, oh my , yours looks so ...new.. amazing. Thanks David, Johan

Thank you Pohl, The dog house is ok all clamps are on and it fits tight al around. Yes I double clutch and 5 to 6 is no issue for me. The third gear is a little frustration , sometimes when I am sure that it is in gear but when I start from zero speed at the light it jumps out, then it takes...

Anybody, any insight about third gear lever going that far forward..and jumping out, can the forks have bend inside and not engage completely? Thanks Johan

I am driving this Mog regular now and al along it once in a while does not engage 1 high or 3th if you want, all the time. The gear shifter goes upto 2" from the doghouse. In the last 1/4 to 1/8 of an inch it engages. of course if it did not engage or jumps out then it takes some time...

Got some nice used broken gauges to repair and play around with from a gent in Bellingham. Was curious if it was going to fit and look half decent. Making the hole larger was a slow process ..the old way..to inflict minimal damage to the surroundings. Cut the back of my old speedometer because...

The rubber air inlet hose to the carburator was cracked. It is a tight curve under the dash. i was not happy the way mercedes had routed the inlet pipe nor with the mercedes price of $65. A the scrap yard I found a VW with a nice air inlet. I even had a PCV inlet so that the hose from the valve...

On with my "impovements" Both of these trucks still have DC Dynamo's and now voltmeter. When I met with Speedwobble to pick up his old FLU419 frame he gave me a kit he made with USB charger designed for the FLU. Thank you again Mark. Anyhow this set my gray matter in motion and found on ebay...
