Why all this work. The M715 is a 40+ year old truck! and you have to llive with it. Else buy a modern one! Change engine is ok if you can not rebuilt the original one. New engines have a lot of torque, so due to my experiance you have to shorten the oil change intervals of the pover train to...

Your square batteries seems to be standard Nato 100 Ah batteries, as they are called in Germany. There is one standard shape available. They should be available at least by order at any automotive parts shop. It is a mass product! Exite batteries are from far east and not the first choise. Try...

Nice to hear somebody is pointing out overtorquing of bolts. May be he heared of the Hexagon program. Anyway, overtorquing is the death of any bolt (AND NUTS AS WELL). Guys, allways stay to the recomended torques of the Manufacturer, thei can not be that wrong. May be with todays knowledge the...

There are many people teeling a lot of "nonsence" about Unimogs. The 404S is 1.5 ton truck with the capability to tow trailers of almost any weight, if equiped propperly and the hp is sufficient. Standard is due to the legal requirements ot the late 50s of the last century: halve the curb...

The switch above the accel padel, is to acrivate the kick down. It will work, if the shwich down valve on the injection pump works properly. However, this valve likes to quit its duty after about 10 years of regular use. Change it, even it is somewhat tricky for the fingers. Good luck! Wolf...

Sorry, I can not join the rally. To much water inbeetween. My M715 can not swim! Wolf from Germany

Starting problems I drowe a Chevy M1009 for 16 years! Problems with the starting harness never ocured, if nobody put its dirty fingers in the original stock harness. These cables were factory crimped and therefore pressed together the way you can NOT do it at home. The clamping arround is a...

How to glue a vinuel-plastric cover Hey, the professionals do it with a hot air gun and a matching jet nose and some other equipment. For the first, try to find a truck canvas maker around. Now a days they do not only have a shewing maschine but also have the equipment to weld the plastic tops...
