RE: Re: RE: Kraz 255 The Kraz is a sweet ride for sure. I think they are bit slow if I recall. 75 kmh top road speed ? My Ural has arrived so now I need to peddle that along and get a Kraz. Any takers ! <grin>

I vaguely remember this truck being for sale. I think it was the truck that was sold off from the US army, I think it was captured in the first Iraqi war. The 815's are actually pretty easy to drive and extremely capable, probably more so than any 8x8 out there. Chris M

The tatra is awesome for sure, but comparisons between Ural, Tatra and Unimog are like comparing a Hummer to a Duece and a Oshkosh 8x8 back to a Duece. Different machines for different jobs. I have sold all three trucks, Unimogs, Tatras and now Urals. The Unimog is by far one of the most...

The Kraz 255 does have power steering. It is a beast though. Without power steering or assist of some sort you would be hard pressed to even turn the wheel an inch. Each of those tires weighs in somewhere around 300 lbs plus. Check out Sean Reynold's Kraz Factory video. Apparently they...

Interesting Mog ! Great to see another mog owner out there. THe clutch issue is a big one. The arms fly off the pressure plate on a regular basis if they are not adjusted at least once a year. You can replace the arm in place but you will need lots of patience. There are some...

Sellling your Mog, but why ?? You have to be moving up to a bigger Mog, aren't you? Chris From Vermont

RE: Re: RE: Whats this 406 Mog worth fellows I would say this truck, with hydraulics, 20 speed gearset, tipper, etc in good condition would be worth $15-17K as a rough estimate. Take off 1500 - 2000 for body condition, no fenders etc and you get somewhere in the 12-14K range. Not a bad...

Most Unimogs range from 1.5ton to 2 ton. The Ural is a 4.5-5 ton truck in 6x6 configuration. The axles are all leaf sprung and feature a rear "Floating" twin axle design. The Unimog features coil springs at all 4 wheels and a unique frame flex which gives over 20 degrees of frame...

Great Pictures ! I have a Ural 375D coming to the US next month. I just purchased it in Europe and can't wait to try it out. I will try to post up some good videos and photos. After seeing how rugged and hearing the stories of how absolutely bulletproof these trucks are (but for some...

A few things to consider - 1. Brake bleeding - I find a power bleeder just does not do it for me, Try two people with the old fashioned method of start furtherest from the master cyl- pump bleed pump. Then work back. Do the master cyl immediately after you do the rear right wheel...

The folks at Tatra were pretty innovative - in fact they were working on things long before the Germans even thought of them. If you go onto Youtube and search for Tatra truck there is a video of a 6x6 from the late 20's early 30's that is pretty amazing. The 813 development video is...

There is a clean looking IFA on Ebay if anyone is interested. After speaking with a few IFA owners I am amazed at the trucks ruggedness and durability. One owner drove entirely through africa with few problems and was able at one point to not only move his fully loaded expedition truck (with...

Thanks for the referral ! I have a contact scouring the CZ republic now and Romania as well. They are getting so hard to find because everyone wants one for the offroad challenges (Truck Trial and Berlin to Breslau Rally). If you search YouTube for Tatra 813 or 815 you will quite a few...

You can swap out the bath type filter/soaked element type as well and put in a Paper cartridge. There is a company in the UK who makes a filter that will fit the housing. I think you do have to do some mods to the filter a bit. But the improved filtration and flow is worth it. Contact...

Nice Plow !, good price too. A 4 Section Schmidt goes for 15K new. Good restore job on it.

Ooops Correction ! The T930 Motor is in the 813 and the later T813 Motor which is 3 Liters bigger (19L) and puts out 350hp or so. The Later 815 models (like th ATC Wildlands Ultra XT fire fighting vehicle that the BLM uses). had a variety of engines to begin with ranging from the...

hey Dean - glad to see you are thinking of making improvements to performance. Most of the guys who use the 813 in Truck Trials are using them pretty much stock. To get a few more horses out of the engine will put in bigger Jikov injectors or turn the timing up a bit. But you get a fair...

There are many places you can buy a Unimog believe it or not. Sean at Eurotruck is good, as is most of the other dealers I know of. Depends upon your budget and what you are looking for. You can buy a 404 in Europe for nearly nothing, however my experience has been. 1. What is left...

This can be tough. Your insurance agent and underwriter should have a classification for Mercedes benz, B Class or Mercedes Benz 4x4. They hear Unimog and think big heavy truck. If you have a 404 that is the easiest to insure, when you get into 1550, 1750 etc the heavier duty trucks...

Cole - Sounds like you have a great start. You might find that the 815 out performs the hummer <grin> :) Parts can be an issue, as James can attest too. There are a few dealers in Europe selling old stock. There is also a bit floating around eastern Europe as well. I found a dealer in...
