-45-50 mph is top speed unless you're going down a hill with a tailwind. Slightly kidding but 45-50 is the speed that they are happiest at. -Other than swapping engines for the M-130 or a diesel the only performance upgrade is a head swap which I have read has just ok results as far as money...

Soni, What kind of rolling device is on the bottom of the plate? Rollers or wheels or ???? What crane is on the back of the 5 ton?

I wish they did... Here is my correspondence with them: Simon, I am wondering if you could tell me what manufacturer/model winch is in the picture on the front of the SEE FLU-419? Do you have any for sale? If not do you know where I could source one? Thank you in advance, Chris...

Still curious why you chose a 404? It looks pretty good from the pics. No oil leaks from the engine, transmission or axles. It is missing a few miscellaneous parts however but they might be separate or you could purchase them from a vendor. I personally wouldn't pay 10k for it however in the...

First question is what do you want to do with the 404? Why a 404 and not a different model? Pics are worth a 1000 words.... Seriously tho post up some pics it will help some of us who are more familiar with the 404 give you an opinion on it. I personally wouldn't take anyone's word on...

I am pretty sure he sold the Mog.

No the Unimog pictured isn't mine or my friends so I don't know what it is parked on. It was a picture I found online and he wants a winch like the one pictured for the front of his SEE FLU-419.

Yes it is for the Mercedes Benz Unimog SEE FLU-419. While I am not an expert this is the only example that I've seen of a winch on the front of a 419 (that looks stock). I don't actually own one but I was trying to get an answer for a friend of mine.

UPDATE: Scott from expedition imports responded to the same thread on another forum and advised me: "Did you pull the cylinder head bolts INSIDE the chain tensioner galley? You may have to move the tensioner arm to get at one of them. There should be a total of 4 "small" bolts at the front of...

So my engine wasn't running very well so I decided to pull a couple of spark plugs to check them and make sure they weren't fouled out. Once I got the plugs out I noticed that they had antifreeze on them. So I figure that either the head has a crack/hole in it or there is a problem with the...

Does anyone know the specifics for the winch on the SEE FLU-419 that is pictured below? Who makes it? Capacity? NSN number for it? Where I can purchase one? Thank you in advance.

So I posted your question on http://www.benzworld.org/forums/unimog/ to see what kind of answers you would get since it is a Unimog specific forum with very active members. Here is a link to the thread: http://www.benzworld.org/forums/unimog/1853489-replacing-404-air-booster-one-off.html

Dennis, Do you have any pics of the oil before and after? How much of the carbon and ash is left?

So I am curious did you contact the county and ask them if they wanted to sell it? How did this part of the process go?

So I am confused... Is this a personal vehicle or a department vehicle? I am trying to figure out if approaching LEO departments is a potential way to purchase a vehicle.

I don't know if you can get one in PA but VA offers a trip permit. You should look into it. It allows you to insure a vehicle and then drive it home even if it is out of state and it makes everything legal. I would also advise that you take a truck instead of a car (if you have one) incase...

Did the snow plow mount come on the green truck from surplus or did you buy it after market?

Make sure that what you have attached your winch cable to is a secure. www.youtube.com/watch?v=47EEkq4ehlE

Do you have any pics of it still on the MOG? I've never seen a snow plow on a 404. And now sitting here thinking about it I would want to have power steering for anything more than doing a driveway.

I'm heading from Blacksburg, VA to Fort Gordon, GA on 11-26-13 in the M1028 to pick up a M1102 and then I'll be heading back to Blacksburg the same day. If you need anything picked up or delivered along the way let me know. -Chris
