I found something out about the Continental MPT80 335/12.5 X 20R tires. I couldn't find them for sale anywhere. Continental refuses to sell them in either Canada or the U.S. according to the specialty marketing rep at Continental. They will sell the larger sizes here, but not the 12.5 size...

Fantastic job on that Unimog! I am very impressed with the quality of your work. :)

I don't remember the part number, but I went to a local Robin Subaru dealer and they had what I needed. I have since sold the generator.

U.S. Freight and United States of Freight are two different companies. I've never used U.S. Freight, but they might be good as well.

Since I have to replace one tire, I'm thinking about replacing all 4 tires with Continental MPT80 tires, 12.5R20, 12 ply. The tires currently on the FLU419 are Michelin XL 12.5X20 which have 4 plies in the tread and 1 ply in the sidewall, which in my opinion isn't very tough. Does anyone have...

I used United States of Freight to move my FLU419. They beat everyone on price, delivered a day earlier than promised and the driver was fantastic - helping me unload and check out the vehicle.

I took my FLU419 on the highway this morning for a total of a ~60 mile drive round trip. Unfortunately, my left rear tire came in contact with a jagged piece of steel laying in the road. It tore a huge hole in the tire. I was going about 35 mph at the time. I was amazed at how stable the FLU...

My M35A3 had the same problem. I did damage trying to get the pin out. I ended up buying an NOS pedal assembly on Ebay for ~$15.00 or so. I keep the new one greased really good.

Yes. When I would come to a stop, the transmission was still trying to pull and then it would make a bang and downshift. Upshifting was the same. After the change to Dexron 3, no more of that nonsense. I've put thousands of miles on mine after the switch to Dexron 3 and zero problems. The...

I personally wouldn't touch anything that isn't leaking or plugged up. I replaced my 10mm crossover pipe that was corroded solid with a new 10mm 316 stainless tube and some dedicated Mercedes fitting on that line and the unloader. Other than that, I haven't replaced or touched any air lines...

I love those ramps!

In some states the problem with MV lights involves lights for the license tag. I know some people have added battery powered magnetic lights for the tag. I don't think tag lights for MVs is much enforced in most states.

Which fittings are you wanting to switch out?

My M35A3 with an Allison 1545 transmission also shifted up and down hard until I switched to Dexron 3 ATF. The change made all the difference in the way the transmission shifted - much smoother.

I've seen several Stanley hydraulic chainsaws for sale on Ebay in the past. You can get the bushing for the shifter from EI and they don't cost much. I would recommend going ahead and replacing the bushing for both shifters while you are in there and the bushings don't cost much. That plastic...

Did you get the FOPS and hood for it? Any of the hydraulic tools? The last digit on the engine time is not tenths it is full hours. Have fun with the new toy!

Looks like a very nice and clean generator and trailer. Congratulations!

I pull an XM1061E1 behind my M35A3 deuce. It is a very heavy trailer designed to be pulled by a 5-ton. However, my deuce pulls it very easily except on steep hills where I am slow. I like the trailer because you can drop the support legs and level the trailer into a stable platform if needed...

An M1061A1 will likely work if you use ramps and don't mine some slight overhand front / back. It has 5 ton capacity and is designed to be pulled behind a 5-ton. I have one and love it.

The cut-out pressure should be 106 PSI.
