Newbie here looking for some help!
I picked up a 1967 404.1 unimog and it's been sitting for the past 13 years out in the weather(it ran and drove when they parked it there). Before I dump too much into it I want to get it rolling and running.*
With the vehicle in 2 wheel drive, the 6 speed trans in nuetral, the dif levers disconnected, the rear tires will only spin with both rear tires lifted and in opposite directions.* When one of the rear tires is on the ground the rear tire won't spin.* If I jack the front left tire up, it spins freely in either direction.
I decided to put the truck in 6th gear with the rear lifted and spin the tires by hand to see if it would it would spin the engine. I was expecting it just to lock up but nothing changed and the fan wouldn't spin.
Any thoughts of what I should check next to see if I can get this chassis rolling?
