Just don't sneak in any veggies!

Ah, come on Bob, I know you like watermelon and oranges and all the rest that makes up the fruit salad. :) Everybody wants to compare everything and like something else, has an opinion... I have been told mine was big.:grin: An interesting thing even with the FMTVs, there has been engine...

A 1200 is a tractor . The SBU series all have the same basic cab and the number roughly equals to engine hp and European usually match HP to capacity. 1200 is a swb vs the typical 1300(L) is lwb and 1250 is a lwb version. Actual numbering within the SBU series can be confusing and complicated...

Apple and oranges is the best comparison. I've had both. The 1300 SBU Mog is a smaller lighter truck. From memory, the 1300 is roughly 217" x 92" footprint and approx 12k lbs empty. The M1078 is 253" x 96" and almost 18k lbs.. GVW for the 1300 is around 17k lbs and the civilian version of the...

Unfortunately, it isn't a judged event, but it would be interesting to see how people take to it. Years ago, I took my LR Vampire to a show and won "Best SUV" :lol:

She glowing :D The same day I took it for a short drive to a restaurant before putting it away, an employee there swore I had it re-sprayed.:mrgreen: Since she had her "spa day", her color is coming back and is looking more and more like the rich Pinzgauer green seen in many photos of late...

You're welcome. I like to be able to show those less glamor shots that give more than the normal 2/3 profile, but may be of interest to more tech minded or curious members. And as my research continues, there may be far fewer ATL Pinzgauers with the VW 2.5TDI than I first thought. And with that...

I got adventurous last night and undertook the tedious task of removing the doghouse. I wanted to know what is required to remove it and what the engine looked like :) I didn't want to have to remove in an emergency and be unprepared for the operation. Having had 4 completely different Pinzes...

A little personal history. This is the 4th Pinz I've had. Started with a 710M in 2001, and got a 712M later the same year ( back then, the 6x6s were difficult to find). In 2002, I added a Haflinger and sold the 710. In Sept '02 I was offered a 716K (TD Pinz 4x4) that I made into a 5dr soft top...

Yesterday was the monthly meeting day for the local MV club. I've have driven all of my different vehicles to the meetings at one time or another (even one of the Supacats), though they've all gotten some type of attention, this Pinzgauer drew by far the most across the board attention than any...

It was an unbelieveable score.:mrgreen: When the word "Pinzgauer" was spoken, I knew exactly what this truck was, with my past ownership of a 716 Pinz, the work on my M1094 and the history I had learned of S&S prior to them purchasing ATL, it could only be an UK manufactured Pinzgauer with all...

My recently aquired ATL Pinzgauer 718K This is an extremely low mileage (262 miles) UK manufactured 718K, but what is also known as 758 (for the UK manufactured Pinzgauers). There are probably less than 1200 made. Unlike SDP made TDs, this has a VW 2.5TDI engine ( the 5 cylinder version of the...

I know the moderators won’t like this being posted to this thread, But this build is directly responsible for my acquisition of my “new” Automotive Technik Ltd Pinzgauer 718K. This will be my only post of the Pinz here. A link to the new thread is below BEFORE S&S bought ATL, they had the...

Thank you, I think so too :) . I've played with all my other Pinzes and this one is just to rare and worth too much to risk damage to prove nothing The word was that there was a 12M18 here, and it went back a long time ago.

Exactly as I said, trying to find things wrong with my new Pinzgauer :mrgreen: It isn't a SDP, but an ATL http://real4x4forums.com/PinzgauerBBS/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=8745 This is my 4th, and have had them all, 710, 712, 716 and now the 718 A sweet ride that needs to be broken in.:D

With all the trouble you're going to, it would be easier to completely remove all of the assembly that the tire carrier, air cleaner and encases the front lift outriggers, strip that are to the frame and make new mounting brackets for the needed assemblies. That is all overbuilt and the air...

From this pic, it appears Steyr used the same ram and only a manual hydraulic pump. Do a google search on Steyr 12M18 and then images. there is more now than 2 years ago :) But I do have an advantage of knowing what to look at:lol...

You aren't going to tilt the cab by hand. Its over 1500 lbs, and the pivots aren't where they offer any counterbalance. Its amazing what little trivia you can find while passing time with a little light reading of a TM. :lol: Hopefully, I can find FDT a good home. It is large

The air motor is for the hydraulic pump for the tilt/tire/pulldown. There is a backup manual jack also. A standard type air brake system is from what all the other air systems draw from. I'm far from an expert but learn most from looking at the truck and reading manuals, and following the logic...

The intent for all the pictures was for a general reference for others also. Hopefully, some of the odd pics answers questions. The cab sheetmetal was about the only thing that was the same, and don't remember the details of the Steyr tilt system. The pivoting should be the same, but the Steyr...
