It FEELS like that too with the cab-over position! Even in the longer wheelbase 404's, 416's, and SBU series 'mogs. But, they are remarkably stable and rated to 100% slope (45 degree) up and down. The center of gravity is misleading. CG is roughly a foot behind and 1.5 ft below the driver's...

The SEE is a fine vehicle and does not have to stay as an excavator all the time. A friend had his SEE at our annual Moab, UT, trail ride this year. Pictures for your enjoyment and SEE 'mog appreciation :lol: The yucky yellow one is my 1957 French Army troop carrier with an added bed.

You guys are thinking constant Wattage. For achieving the same "Wattage", the current at 24v will be half that at 12v. (Watts = volts x amps). You can't make the motor draw less wattage at higher voltage!! That DC motor is a big honking resistance. As voltage doubles across a resistance...

Uuuuhhhhhh, you dug under a fence somewhere???? :razz: Ok, try Columbia Electronics

This question has come up for use on 24v Unimogs. The answer is...maybe you can run the 12v winch motor on 24 v but seldom will the control relays handle twice the current. At 24 v the 12v motor will draw much more current and turn faster, of course. Lots of older tractor owners run their 6...

Nice looking transmitter! Have you tried this place for modules? American Milspec, LLC He comes up with some interesting parts and pieces. Bob WB4ETT

I think those are from a 406 / 416 Unimog. Same wheel could come from a SEE tractor if they came from the military. If you can find the name Sudrad stamped on them, and a part number, we can verify for you. I'm always interested in a couple more Unimog wheels. You might find any of the...

Those "long" antennas are either for low band VHF (typically 30 to 80 MHz) or are HF antennas (below 30 MHz). Do you know specifically what antennas you are referring to? Those numbers tell the story: they don't work at 154 MHz. But, if a simple HF antenna like an AB-15 base and MS-116...

That's a great website, thanks! I tuned in one of the HF freqs and have been listening to some interesting stuff on 8992 kHz for an hour. It's all in voice (English!!!) but part of it is "letters" coded. Heard "Andrews", and "Puerto Rico" identify so far. My thoughts on monitoring Mil comms...

Most battery chargers, even the ones that have some 'smarts', use a 'soft' transformer as a source. The transformer is made to NOT stabilize voltage, and the voltage will sag as current increases. The result is the charger runs at rated high current (depending on battery voltage and internal...

Sometimes when trying to start a truck with low battery, the starter will initially move the Bendix out, engage the flywheel ring, then stop due to low current. Just not enough energy to spin the engine. If the Bendix stays there, the starter will draw current but might not turn over the...

Yeah, I have done that too. But, now that the FCC has eliminated analog TV, the signals will sound sort of "different" :-) There might possibly be someone in your neighborhood still using an old 48 or 49 MHz telephone, or a baby monitor. Might not be so neighborly to listen in though. If...

Fred, You know your clutch disc is good because you were driving it, so personally, I'd spend more time trying to free it. I've had a clutch stick on a 404 (it sat unused for 7 or 8 years before I bought it in Germany). I tried the immovable object technique and peeled the friction...

Nice Job!! Your English is better than some of us who speak nothing else. Bob tennmogger

I ran about 20% Diesel in my gasser Unimogs when I lived in Denver. The government mandated "Front Range Formula" for gasoline has so many highly volatile components in it that the winter gas would boil in a jerry can at 80 degrees F when spring came. Vapor locking was impossible to eliminate...

Item: Signage along Randolf Church Road There was a local citizen wandering around the Durhamtown office area looking for the "military show". Obviously word got out locally that we were there, and he wanted to visit but could not find us. We are rather well hidden from sight. Item...

Report on communications at SS Georgia Rally, October, 2010 At HQ comm: Paul Wittenborn “fireham” N7SDQ Michael Wittenborn KJ4GOO Chad Tackett “regulator” KD5KRE Bob Ragain “tennmogger”, WB4ETT, 1965 Unimog radio truck On the convoys: Joe KJ4PQW in his Gamma Goat...

Yes, 51 MHz on 6 meter ham band. That will be our primary frequency for communications out to the convoys, and fixed locations in camp. Anyone who wants to operate there can set up a station from their camping spot, up at the eating area, carry around their packset, etc. This ham frequency...

Think about waste motor oil for a minute. You take it out of your engine so it won't damage mechanical clearances of several thousandths of an inch, take out the 'chunks', and run it through an injector pump with clearances in the ten-thousandths? Does that bother anyone else?? IMHO only a...

Hi Opcom, We appreciate your comments! You always have good advice for radio related questions here on the SS! Maybe you can join us one year? Our comm plan is based on the same experience as yours, that lower frequencies will do better through obstructions, plus allow some terrain...
