I recall looking this up quite some time ago because of being curious about unimogs and the more basic early gwagen at one point, theres still quite a lot of small companies under 'mercedes unimog parts usa' internet search today but also this large one not surprisingly is still around abit with a slightly different website than when I first saw them https://expedition-imports.com so maybe you could specifically give them a try first?

Diesel Unimog New & Used Parts & Vehicles | VonsMog Von is not a FLU 419 specific parts supplier but has a lot of new and used 406 parts that may fit the Mercedes portion of the 419. The 419 is the ultimate and last iteration of the 406 model. He has gear reduction starters that reportedly will fit and have a great reputation. He restores 406s series mogs and is very knowledgeable. He also has fiberglass hoods to replace the hoods that frequently seem to have gotten lost (or severely bent) . Expedition Imports reportedly bought out the remaining inventory of the US assembler of the FLU 419, Badger Equipment. They have slowly been selling it off both in the US and Europe (where Unimogs are more popular). In rare cases they have sourced non OEM substitutes but when most of the inventory is gone its gone. A Steel Soldiers member does make cab tilt bracket kits that are sold through EI

Be aware Mercedes supplied a bare chassis to Badger in Wisconsin complete with the Schmidt FEL but minus the rear deck. Badger assembled the rest out of components sourced from various US suppliers and those parts are not covered by the Mercedes parts system. The US sourced systems may be the most difficult to locate parts for although the Case backhoe is supported to some extent by Case.

Atkinson and Vos is in England but for small stuff they can be good source and seem to have a way of crossing Wabco brake and air system obsolete part numbers into real part numbers. Those air system parts are a major PITA to source.

The other way out there supplier is Teksan who is based out of Turkey. They have a good reputation on the Unimog forums but getting in contact with them can be difficult. The Turkish military is long term user of Unimogs and they actually have built some models in Turkey with major components supplied by Mercedes. They seem to have access to Mercedes parts that are listed as no longer available through Mercedes.

Jay Couch Core Offroad seems to have given up on selling parts. He is the ultimate salesman and is quite knowledgeable about Unimogs, if he can make a buck he will probably sell you some parts but caveat emptor. If you dig back in the Unimog thread sold a HMMH to someone and had a tussle that was probably a combination of both parties differing expectations.

Vermont Unimog has a flashy website but good luck getting anyone to answer an email or the phone.

Mross in British Columbia is stocking Mercedes parts dealer and knows Unimogs Mross Import Service – Unimog Canada – Dealer of New and Used Mercedes Benz Unimogs I have not dealt with them and they would have no experience with the FLU419 specific systems.

Swissarmyvehicles.com is a great source for parts for the Pinzgauers and probably the unimog. The both came off the same assembly line.
