Where in Florida are you? There is another Mog owner, Bill Stauffer in Oviedo. He can be quite helpful. If you need parts, try Expedition Imports: www.expedition-imports.com

Join the Mog Mailing List at: http://www.mogmsgexch.com/index.php You will find an endless amount of knowledge and support from other Mog owners.

I forgot...you have an 89? I assume it is an SBU? Try Jim Ince at www.eurotech-services.com. He carries mostly SBU parts.

JAnuary 6th, 2008.

I might wish to point you also to Michael at Unipaser (United Parts Service) in Palo Alto, Ca., he has been most helpful in finding the parts to keep my 1963 Mercedes Benz Unimog S.404.114 (Swiss) running. The 404's are much maligned by those who want or need a Unimog diesel, but they are actually much like the Model "A" Ford, simple and easy to repair. You machine is probably the 406/416 the US Army was enamored of as a High Mobility
Mechanical excavator (either a SEEP or HMMH), neither or which were considered by the Army to be trucks, rather as in Europe all Unimogs are considered "Road Tractors" and are covered by a different set of highway regulations. You will, unfortunately find that the Mercedes Benz parts are going up in price lately due to the poor showing of the US Dollar on world markets (Ouch!). Good luck on your repairs and you will find the smaller Unimogs are like no other four wheel drive in the world- they make Hummers look like small children's toys.

Regards,

Kyle F. McGrogan

I 'm not sure what SBU stands for. However, an SBU model is the square cab which was made from 1977 until now. A picture of your Mog would help. Maybe you can post one? If you have the rounded body style, then parts are very easy to come by and relatively inexpensive. The SBU body style parts are more expensive and not all dealers carry them.

Picture of my Mog below which is the SBU cab.

Once again, where are you located in Florida?

Here is a picture of the Unimog

Wow...nice Mog. It's a 416 with the diesel OM352 motor. Looks like a Belgian bed on it and modified for US use. Your best bet for parts would be Expedition Imports. Also, join the Mog mailing list and email Kai Serrano. He is a wiz at Mog diesels.
