Ok so I have put the title transfer off for a little while. So I can work on my disguise(and sob story) and until I address more pressing issues. I hired a heavy duty tire/wheel service company near me to come out and put on these new wheels/tubes and flaps properly. Ima going tell you, if thought I was going to do these alone with my regular tools, I was very wrong. Apparently it helps to have a truck mounted crane with outriggers, handheld hydraulic tire seal breakers, or whatever they are called. The first tire was so frozen to the wheel, that at one point they had 3 of those tire presses on the hub at one time to break the seal. After about two hours the first one was a success! Seven more to go, and likely $2000 later.
Next major issue is raising the cab. It’s safe to assume that every air and hydraulic line is absolutely damaged or compromised. So no hand pumping, no engine cranking, no nothing. I disconnected the three bolts holding the cab saddle locks on each side, and removed the bolt holding the bottom side of each shock absorber, so there is no mechanical connection. I then used a 12 volt stand alone hydraulic pump and connected the lines directly to the hydraulic cylinder running horizontal on the passenger side, and used the pendant to try and raise the cab. Nothing happened after I flooded the cylinder, no movement. I think that was the wrong cylinder. Can anyone please advise me on how to raise the cab manually, assuming all hydraulic lines are damaged. A mechanical hand/gear crank would have been so much better than all this over built hardware. Better for a combat situation to be sure. I took a screenshot from a maintainence video I saw online, I think I shows the correct lift cylinder. Maybe if I connect the portable pump to that one it will raise up.

Be sure you had secured the cab.

Frank,

May need to get my son to help with this. The parts manual is 50+ MEG. I got all the other 4 books sent, had to reduce on. But even after reducing the parts book, it was tooooooo large. Maybe I can split the book! Will try that now.

Hello, we own 2 MAN KAT 1 7 T that we had refurbished in Netherlands and we put a mobile Medical unit on each one and we use them in Africa. We are looking for vendors to purchase parts from (In USA if possible) and also need the parts and operators manuals if anyone has them. I have seen other posts about people emailing or downloading them. Who can I contact to get help with sourcing the manuals and the parts?

Attached is a picture of our two units in Africa. We are a non profit from USA but our trucks are now in Africa.

Hi guys, I know I'm late in joining this thread but seen as how it's not closed I will try. I am working for a transport and logistics company in the Central African Republic. We are using MAN Kat 1 (4x4, 6x6 and 8x8 trucks. We operate 84 units alongside some new Kamaz 8x8s. I'm looking to see if anyone can send me a link for any or all of the following in English language: driver manual, parts manual and workshop/service manual. These are all KAT 1. The vehicle data plates show that they were manufactured in 1977 and 1978.
Cheers

Did you ever receive any manuals? We have 2 MAN Kats in Africa now also that we need manuals for and a place to source parts either in Africa or USA.

I am going to call someone I know in the Bundeswehr. They have to have all the TM's someplace in a library.

Just sent a whatsapp. See what happens.
