How is your thermostat? That milky sludge could indicate the engine is running cold all the time. Does your temp gauge show a good stable operating temperature? IIf the thermostat is working but only holding a low temperature, say 160 deg, I'd go with a higher temp thermostat. Does the...

Sure looks like an antenna. The droop was probably just for convenience as already stated. If this structure were a rack for holding anything, there would be more cross members and it would be loaded. The fact that it is relatively clear (except for maybe a tarp on one end) indicates a PLAN...

Here are photos of the radio box. .

This project is to put a Unimog 404 radio box on an M105 trailer frame/axle. Maybe the modifications on the M105 will be helpful to others, especially the method used to extend parking brake and service brake linkages. M105 trailers are nice trailers. M105 beds seem to be favorites for use on...

Info sent. Thanks!!

Maybe my continuing problem on my home computer is related to the 503. I get "connection was reset". Nothing said about 503 though. I can sometimes keep re-selecting the thread after the "connection was reset" comes up and loading will be successful. This does get old after 10 to 20 clicks...

There are a few of us here but we don't rate a forum :-) Bob

Got any 15 ft marshmellow sticks? HOT fire.

Sure am looking forward to seeing other Unimog owners at the SS GA rally this year! Bob

Will you be able to use HF CB if you get a license? What is required to get that license? To us here in the USA, when CB is mentioned, we think HF, 11 meters. That causes confusion when talking to Europeans with VHF CB. The AB-15 and MS-type antenna sections apply for the HF situation...

Hi Seyit, You are asking questions that everyone ponders when they get involved with radio. Even though I am no expert I have been a licensed ham since 1965 and I'm still learning but will throw in my 2c worth anyway. What is an antenna? It's a means to couple radio waves into the...

I have a project for which an M-105 trailer frame (less bed), with axle and wheels would work. Anyone have a complete M-105 except for bed? Maybe someone who used the bed for a bobber, leaving the remainder of the trailer intact? Bob

Hi Butch, How is the SEE set up for fuses? Circuit breakers? Mercedes typically puts high beams and low beams on separate circuits and fuses. You would then have to check four fuses/breakers to ensure the headlight circuits are good. The first thing I'd check with the voltmeter is the...

Looking great! Your mog will be ready for another 30 years of service! Bob

Air to the diff locks can certainly leak if the hoses split, but the locking cylinders inside the axle can leak also. Leaked air goes into the rear/front axle, through the diff, up the torque tube, and exits out the transmission. Sometimes you can hear a bad leak by putting a hose/stethoscope...

146.500 is fine by me. We'll just have to remind every one mot to be on the standard frequency of 146.550. How about we set 51 MHz as our green radio frequency? Really looking forward to this! Bob WB4ETT

It's great to hear the chatter about radio communications! Last time I could attend, 3 yrs ago I think, we had very few hams but did some successful testing using VHF low band and VHF high (2 meters). We also did some comparisons to FRS and GMRS. FRS and GMRS: portable handheld to portable...

Corn Head Grease is just a nickname for grease with an NLGI index/viscosity number of 0 (zero). If you search on NLGI 0 there are lots of names for it, plenty of info, and many sources. I buy mine online because the JD dealer is 30 miles away, and rather proud of their stuff. Bob

The SEE excavators aren't "an absolute orphan red headed step child begging to be kicked out of the orphanage onto the cold street!", and I know you know that :-) However, there are people who will try to convince us of that. Any one job might be easier with a dedicated machine, but the...

I think Butch nailed it. To my knowledge there are no other implements available to fit those FL-4 brackets in place of the SEE's FL-4 loader. Unless you fabricate them. I use an FL-4 loader (with different brackets) on the front of a 406 Unimog (non-SEE). The 4 points of contact to the...
