    Why did this one go for so much $

    The bidder may have been to a new truck dealer. Have you checked prices recently? The LMTV is a tremendous bargain.

    Winches; front, back and frame mounted.

    Nice looking M-38! Regretably my M-38 became my family car (only vehicle) for years and got "bubba-fied" to keep it safe. The winch was taken off. The same type "winch", in reality a 24v bomb hoist, can be seen as the "deck winch" on the Unimog in the Rockymountainmoggers article. I like the...

    Winches; front, back and frame mounted.

    Hey George. I have the double-ended system on a 404 Unimog. In 1968 I had that system on a 1952 M-38 Jeep. Same system that eventually became known as Foers system. http://www.rockymountainmoggers.com/bobmoglite.html has an old write-up on the initial configuration on the Mog from the...

    Dam scary setup with no brakes, IMHO.

    Beginning the Journey

    Drain some at the 'oil test' portal near the engine. Might take a while but clean and easy.

    Flu419

    Great info Flufarm, using the high capacity rear pump to drive a front mower is a good idea. That's one application where on and off are sufficient control, and the PTO shifter would be that on-off. A possible consideration is how abrupt a shutoff is it when the PTO gear is disengaged or the...

    What usage do you have in mind for a Unimog?

    Flu419

    Could be that a few searches could answer your questions? The answer you want is a little vague but I can try. PTO: the 406 Unimog has external PTO available, front and/or rear, either 540 speed, or 540 plus 1000 rpm depending on the model PTO attached to the side of the transmission. The...

    FLU419 Front loader

    Is the FLU-419 really so different from a normal 406 with the Schmidt FL-4 loader? Pressure relief? Check valves? Regulator? The normal 406 front hydraulic system is pressure limited only by the belt slippage, IMHO, so tighten your pump belt. The front bucket should lift a load of gravel...

    AS-1729/VRC for CB Band

    Here are some test results on the AS-3900A/VRC antenna and the AS-1729/VRC with the goal of using the antennas on CB or ham radio in a plug-and-play way. The 3900 is a later model that we recognize by having only a BNC coaxial connector on the bottom. The AS-3900 spec sheets may be found...

    Mil Radio for 80 meters

    Some of the military HF rigs will not do LSB (normal on 80m), being USB only. Some are switchable so be sure that's on your check list. There is also the British Clansman series UK/RT-320. Many are available so prices are lower, and there are several LSB conversions for 80 and 40m. You can...

    MEP-003A voltage and phase switch stuck

    Looking for advice again. Filter changes done but none of the new seals fit so have leaks. Used WIX cross refs. Do the Fram C1125PL fuel filters come with seals that fit the 003? Ditto Fram CH6PL oil filter? Second, searching for the spin on filter adapter kit. For the -003 yielded nothing...

    MEP-003A voltage and phase switch stuck

    Follow up to those helping: the transducer is good and is getting voltage in, and has voltage out, about 3.5 vdc. The freq meter has voltage so meter must be bad. Kinda back where I started but know the old transducer was bad too. Making progress and learning a lot. We did full service on...

    MEP-003A voltage and phase switch stuck

    Thank you! I see this is from 'figure 1' in some manual. Can you share the manual number? These pages seem more like from a training manual. Good schematic!

    MEP-003A voltage and phase switch stuck

    Thanks for all the feedback! Guyfang, that schematic is different from the one I have in manual -12. Your schematic is SO much easier to interpret! Thanks. Next trip to the county shop in a few days. At $25 bucks in fuel to make that trip I don't go as often. This fuel situation stinks.

    MEP-003A voltage and phase switch stuck

    The new transducer was installed today. For anyone doing this job, unbolt the control box, unscrew two big connectors and a ground from the rear, and it's easy to get to the rear panel to drill new holes from the back. The screws from the original transducer (used with nuts) will screw into...
