It´s not as perfect as the guy at Kentucky Derby, but SSmember migginsson give all his best this evening. Vote for the MAN 5 ton Kat1 w/w this month and we all were proud to be at the April calender sheet 2024. Hope Tim (consolidated press) would print...
Rory, right, that´s the Mercedes Benz 1113 . They build them from the 60th till middle of the 80th.1965/66 I remermber he has a turbo, would say. :jumpin: :love:
The Kat 1 engine of the 5ton 4x4 is an aircooled V8 Deutz engine. If temperatures below -25°C / -8°F it´s recommended to use the preheat unit. With switching the Diesel cabin heater to a very high output and installing the heater hose you directly bring the heat into the crankcase and to the...
As usual we also like meetings with other enthusiasts. These pics are from a meeting named historical construction plant. First pic shows our father in the turret. Next meeting we will attend is at May 13.

The engine compartment of the MAN is behind the (3) front seats. The flat face is good for save transportation space . No winch or others in front. The chamfered cabin and the two stage heigh tarp position reaches the max. railroad tunnel specs. for transportation by train.
Have a nice weekend. Thank you voting for Migginsbros this month. Tomorrow they promissed a cloudfree day with temp 70°F. Perhaps we have time to care for the MV´s. :cool: :cool:
Nov. 2022 we had replaced some exhaust parts. With great support from our young MV enthusiasts. Trucks over 7.5 tons complete max weight have to go all 6 month to official inspection to hold the street legal status.
We got a gunring to complete the cabin. :cool: :cool:
and we detached the lights and speakers/horns from the Katastrophenschutz.
August 2020 we erect a new tent in...
Some impressions from the recovery. At first we send about 4 parcels to Fehmarn by national post. Sleeping bags, fuel filters , air hoses , tools, torches, etc. because we go by train to Fehmarn and want to go on own wheels back home. Because the engine is air cooled you had to use the installed...
We got our 1977 MAN KAT1 glw (w/W) with a little luck at the auction from the civil protection of the island Fehmarn at baltic sea in Germany.
That was a great trip by train to North of Germany and back on own wheels.
The aircooled 13 Liter V8 Diesel direct injected engine was roaring behind...
Parades are not so common in our area but we are prepared for. :cool: :cool:
Purchased a set off troop seats and an aluminium ladder with handrail.
