Thank you Pohl, The dog house is ok all clamps are on and it fits tight al around. Yes I double clutch and 5 to 6 is no issue for me. The third gear is a little frustration , sometimes when I am sure that it is in gear but when I start from zero speed at the light it jumps out, then it takes...

Anybody, any insight about third gear lever going that far forward..and jumping out, can the forks have bend inside and not engage completely? Thanks Johan

I am driving this Mog regular now and al along it once in a while does not engage 1 high or 3th if you want, all the time. The gear shifter goes upto 2" from the doghouse. In the last 1/4 to 1/8 of an inch it engages. of course if it did not engage or jumps out then it takes some time...

Got some nice used broken gauges to repair and play around with from a gent in Bellingham. Was curious if it was going to fit and look half decent. Making the hole larger was a slow process ..the old way..to inflict minimal damage to the surroundings. Cut the back of my old speedometer because...

The rubber air inlet hose to the carburator was cracked. It is a tight curve under the dash. i was not happy the way mercedes had routed the inlet pipe nor with the mercedes price of $65. A the scrap yard I found a VW with a nice air inlet. I even had a PCV inlet so that the hose from the valve...

On with my "impovements" Both of these trucks still have DC Dynamo's and now voltmeter. When I met with Speedwobble to pick up his old FLU419 frame he gave me a kit he made with USB charger designed for the FLU. Thank you again Mark. Anyhow this set my gray matter in motion and found on ebay...

Thanks 2many, Hoping it was fuel. Ordered a 24V pump . Will use a external regulator to bring it back to 2.5 -3 psi. The original mechanical fuel pump is still there but I do not know how well it works. I am sure it is just waiting to find a convenient moment to start leaking into the oil pan...

I am looking for a tranny of a 419 . can you send me a couple of pics and or pm me. Thanks Johan.

Thanks David, good call, I forgot about that flap and my spring missing. I Johan

Thanks David. Did a 50 mile trip today and above 60 kmph the engine occasionally hold back in surges...every second or so.. Maybe sloshing in the tank? At this moment I am running the original fuel pump that I overhauled. I need to take a second look at the fuel system. Would be nice to...

Thank you, that looks easy enough. I anticipated a more complex system that uses less muscle power to put the tire in place. Simpler is better. Thanks David/ Johan

Looking for a detail picture of the spare wheel mounting. There are 4 u shape rings welded on the bottom of the bed. It looks like they are in the right location for lifting the spare. Is there a pulley system or something like that? Thank you, Johan

I checked my resistor spark coil circuit. With contact on there is about 12 volt at the coil . that is with 24.5 volt battery voltage. So i would call that good.. will throw a spare coil in the cab. Johan

So started driving the Mog a bit around town to get a feel for it. Took her into camp... No road and soggy.. that is why I "needed" one.. Of course after unloading supplies and having a drink she did not want to start. It feels that the coil was pretty hot. 10 minutes later she did fire up...

Thank you for starting a thread about this. I am about ready for digging into the air system a little further. I have a desiccant filter on my shop air compressor line. It has a clear housing so you can see from the color how saturated it is. As far a I know you can just reheat the pellets to...

Sorry, No, I have plans with the whole setup. Just bought another Flu419 and going to cut this and extend to a longer wheelbase and or maybe a 6*6.. Still lots of fun to be had at least in my mind. Johan

Howdy Folks. I thought that I had played chicken enough so today was the day. Hot, humid sweaty and miserable. Figured I use the other flu to help out. After it was loose I put a couple of blocks under my stand and used the flu to pull the broken flu away from the stand. One of the parking...

Thanks for the pics David. Looks like part of my bracket is missing . Will see if I can rig it up like that. Johan

Wow, that is not good. I am surprised that it would brake like that. Johan

I had seen your construction.. and thought the wheel was a great idea, actually was at the junkyard to look for one from a trailer... found one from an hydraulic outrigger but it was really heavy. thanks for setting me straight on the wheels. Johan
