U 500 is the biggest of the UGN (Unimog Generation neu, in English: Unimog generation new) and has except of the basic design idea nothing in common with the 404's. Engine is a standard OM 906 LA/III which is also used in other Freightliner trucks (as far as I remenber for example MD80)...

The cold starting aid is a flame to heat up the aspirated air, using diesel, or with seperate container (very small) gas. The gas is sufficiant for a max of three tries. Do not use either!

The maximum speed is 66 kph or 41 mph without modification. But no mdern truck will argue with you. The bumper is made of steel and not of plastics! US-trucker are used to non syncronised trans, but in Europe the young guys can not handle that any more.

The vaccum was on the OM614 220 diesel of the W113/114/115 and W123 Series passenger cars. The Mogs have either mechanical shut off or electrical shut off. Is beside your seat a knob of about 3/4 inch diameter with a tread going into the trans cover. Push this in as far as you can. Than pull...

404 Mog's: On the military distributer you can set the timing for lower octan rating fuel, as far as I remenber, down the 60 octan. (The litle plate on the distributer neck where the distributer goes into the engine block is the scale.). Unbraked trailer: The 404 is good for 1500 kg unbraked...

The cab is from the Brasilian Arcello! FUSO has nothing to do with this cab!

RE: Spelling and look uo The Zetros just was officially published. The cab is a Mog cab with mine blast protection floor or fully armoured. Cassis is ACTROS with AXOR engine. For me the hood looks like an Ural or Karmaz truck. The Canadina ACTROS has nothing to do with an ACTROS TITAN, which is...

RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: Unimog SEE at GSA Hey guys, the world can not be wrong with Unimogs. The "Freigthliner" Unimog was comletely made in Gaggenau/Germany for the US Army. But to be an American origin vehicle it was named Freightliner and sold to the US Army in the early 80th on request of...

The WR7AC is a coding for the type of the spark plug used only by Bosch. 7 the the heat range, the last C is for Copper core. The classical destination is a W175 T1, were T1 stands for the tread length, 175 is the heat value. So it is just a classical spark plug. And most of the civilian...

That MUTT is one of the Marine Corps series built again in the late 70', about 3 to 5 years after the official production stopped, just before the series for Pakistan. Most of them were stored somewere in a desert and full of sand, even in the brake system. That with a mileage of sometimes less...

f For a 12.50 wide tire you need at least a 10 inch wide bed of the rim. Else the tires wear to much in the center. The original tubes are made for 9.00-16. If you have Michelin or other European tubes they are made for 9.00-16 and 11.00-16 tires. You can not use tubes on tubeless tires for the...

I have been there in 1980 and the vehicles were by that time in much better condition. The next town is called Saint Marcellin, about 1 hour away from Grenoble to the west towards Lyon direction /Rhone river. These vehicles are for sale. They also have a big stock of parts. All these vehicles...

I also converted my M715 to the 6.2 l Detroit Diesel engine, but on the original transmission. Driving performance is close to perfect, like automatic trans from 15 to 60 mph. What you can expect more from an engine! Engine now has 336 hours, the truck is at 103200 miles I onwn the truck for...
