Tenmogger, yes, thank you for the link over to benzworld.org. I had been a member but hadn't been there in a couple years... that "Demystifying The 419" thread is good, love the topic raised about adapting Bobcat Plate to run all Bobcat attachments! Will be making my rounds again, good stuff!

Marty, I'm pretty sure YOU are the current winner of The Best Adapted 419 to date. Really outstanding. Will enjoy watching your truck progress. The welder/generator is an awesome addition. Had I thought like you, I might have passed on my Miller 325 and saved a bundle in the process. Really...

Profo and Tenmogger ROCK!! I'm really interested what you guys have done, and the knowledge that these hydraulically-driven PTOs are available. This is my first machine with hydraulics and I'm learning here. Profo, I'd seen your work on your SEE, but I hadn't studied exactly what you had...

Hydraulic Thumb for our back hoe... who's done it? One of many examples on Youtube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7O_TRrY0d3I

Who's done it? Driving a chipper or other device with the existing hydraulic drive off the rear or front? Copy that there are several PTO take off transmissions and we got this one... well, what can we do about it? Will the hydraulic pump we have on the rear, power a killer chipper? Not...

Turned the stock wheels inside out? What are those wheels?

WOW the mods on that truck are major if he pulled the rear axle back! Thanks for the testimonial on the tires, I'm hoping to eventually get some, but the next question is about those wheels... any idea? In regards to the 419, I liken it to a Swiss Army Knife, it that in order to use another...

I realize our 419s will never articulate like most other unimogs due to the extra beef in the frame, but does anyone have experience with swapping to much softer springs and other modifications to allow our huge behemoths (WITHOUT loader and back hoe) to actually wallow down a mild 4X4 route...

Thanks for the great info both of you guys. Marty, the 1 1/2 offset, is that a typo? Speedzilla, your info on the pattern is key, and I now know I'm looking for 6 on 205mm. The Sprinter wheel link and information is interesting too, but I side with you that those wheels would likely fold...

I have a low ceiling height application for my 419. One solution is to rent a smaller machine, however, I own the property and will need to operate in the area under this house for some time. If I can drop 5 inches, I'd be golden, 10 inches would be optimal. BOLT PATTERN is the question. I'd...

Really great videos! Thank you! The air regulator rebuild was incredibly illuminating. I'll now know what I'll have in store for when I break into mine. Really appreciate it.

Stoked to see in the year since I've been off this forum, this thread has grown to 331 replies. LOTS of great, great information here, and I'm really appreciating it. I'm yet again, sitting in Afghanistan, looking out of a hangar into a SEE of heat, still feeling the tremors from the rocket...

Stoked to see you have made some of these. I have a need for a set, and other tools too. Will PM You.

Wow! Bob... you're amazing... you have EIGHT UNIMOGS!! Daaaaayyyyymmm! It must be fun at your place! Thank you for the detailed input about the locking cylinders. I have seen the oil procedure in 406 handbook I have, and while the German to English translations are sometimes difficult to...

Exceptional advice! Thank you VERY much for the input on the rotted and loose lines, that sounds like what I'm dealing with. Yes, I put a jackstand under the center of the back hoe to prevent the sag, and I use a highly effective Harbor Freight Farm Jack (direct copy of Hi Lift) to move...

Well, I'm home on R&R now and DIGGING IT! Literally! The 419 and I are getting acquainted on the home digging job that I had talked about. The second set of wheels I intended to modify for extreme low-ceiling carport use are fortunately NOT required after lowering the tire PSI to 20 on...

Here's a 419 I studied up in Bagram before bidding on mine. The bed is supposedly off a Hummer Trailer. Thinking after cutting down my ambulance box, I may have about the same overhang. I have more detai images of this one if any body is curious.

I just checked yesterday, and yep, it's all still there. I think I'll grab the fuel pressure pump, and bring it in and start washing it up in the parts washer. Can someone ID the application that the pump possibly was used for?

Question: Is there another common and domestically available wheel with the same bolt pattern as the FLU419/406/416? I would rather buy some cheaper, easier-to-find wheels to sacrifice for the low-ceiling carport passage application I have. Gotta' dig in the back yard, but access is only...

Thank you for your service, and the little visual from that time so long ago. We call it "getting short" just like we did when we were active duty. We use all the same jargon day to day as well, military courtesy, it's just natural. We're all veterans for the most part on my contract. Much...
