I just purchased a rare French 1985 Lohr FL 501 mechanical Mule.
As soon as I figure a way to ship it from Michigan to Oregon I will post some pics. It came from a museum and is in awsome shape.
Anyway I saw one of these at mogfest and was wandering if anyone knew who the owner was. It would...
I was just curious, not knowing a lot about the mighty mite, I read a article saying they were made to be disposable and werent built very strong, just curious if this is what the owners are finding. Does it make a durable offroad vehicle?
thanks.

Hey mike
Was that you at mogfest driving around in the mighty mite? ?sure was a nice vehicle. Did you get the front end issues taken care of?
Doesn anyone know what the biggest tires you can put on a 4-6 mog. I see a lot of 16-20 tires for really cheap on e-bay, and if they will fit with some mods I would consider it. The guys also has 46" tires.
Any input?
Thanks again for the tips!!
Do the trials trucks modify the suspention at all or is everything stock.
What do you do for air filters?did you conver to standard paper filter?
Re: RE: Portland Oregon Pinzgauers???
Ive seen the pinz parked down a long driveway in Washougal, I have always meant to try make contact with the guy since I live close to him.
The mog has drum brakes, the guy said it was the last year of the drum brakes, I was thinking I would prefer discs but may be they re more of a pain than they are worth?
The truck currently has agg tires on it and I would like to install a new set, any sources? are mog tire sizes hard to come by, Ive seen on some forums guys using super swamper irok tires (standard size)? What about increasing the size a bit to help with top end?
I also want a front and rear...
I just bought a 406 diesel mog today, I dont have it home yet so pics will come soon. I am still learning about mogs but this one has the ag tires and looks awsome. The guy a got it from brought it over from Holland when he moved here. He has had the entire frame gearboxes etc sand blasted...
I agree, I watch a lot of Tatra trials videos on youtube and there is one, I will have to find it where a really nice looking MAN 8x8 is competing against Tatra 813s and cant even get the traction to get up the hills the Tatras are climbing, also due to the solid axle there are a few situations...
Majority of diesel engine problems are fuel related, you probably have a air leak in you fuel line, it wont leak fuel out but it will suck air in. Other than the fuel filter etc I would start there.
The truck has two waterproof starters. There is a selector key that you can select number 1 starter, number 2 starter or both at the same time. the idea is in really cold weather you may need 2. Also you have a backup if one goes bad. I always have no problem starting it with one starter...
Nice to finally talk to someone from over there. Aside from the obvious things I can see on youtube, what kind of mods do the guys do on the trials version of the trucks. Anything on the motor?
I am leaving my one truck original and the other one is being converted to a trials truck with the...
