Turned the stock wheels inside out? What are those wheels?

WOW the mods on that truck are major if he pulled the rear axle back! Thanks for the testimonial on the tires, I'm hoping to eventually get some, but the next question is about those wheels... any idea? In regards to the 419, I liken it to a Swiss Army Knife, it that in order to use another...

I realize our 419s will never articulate like most other unimogs due to the extra beef in the frame, but does anyone have experience with swapping to much softer springs and other modifications to allow our huge behemoths (WITHOUT loader and back hoe) to actually wallow down a mild 4X4 route...

Really great videos! Thank you! The air regulator rebuild was incredibly illuminating. I'll now know what I'll have in store for when I break into mine. Really appreciate it.

Stoked to see in the year since I've been off this forum, this thread has grown to 331 replies. LOTS of great, great information here, and I'm really appreciating it. I'm yet again, sitting in Afghanistan, looking out of a hangar into a SEE of heat, still feeling the tremors from the rocket...

Wow! Bob... you're amazing... you have EIGHT UNIMOGS!! Daaaaayyyyymmm! It must be fun at your place! Thank you for the detailed input about the locking cylinders. I have seen the oil procedure in 406 handbook I have, and while the German to English translations are sometimes difficult to...

Exceptional advice! Thank you VERY much for the input on the rotted and loose lines, that sounds like what I'm dealing with. Yes, I put a jackstand under the center of the back hoe to prevent the sag, and I use a highly effective Harbor Freight Farm Jack (direct copy of Hi Lift) to move...

Well, I'm home on R&R now and DIGGING IT! Literally! The 419 and I are getting acquainted on the home digging job that I had talked about. The second set of wheels I intended to modify for extreme low-ceiling carport use are fortunately NOT required after lowering the tire PSI to 20 on...

Here's a 419 I studied up in Bagram before bidding on mine. The bed is supposedly off a Hummer Trailer. Thinking after cutting down my ambulance box, I may have about the same overhang. I have more detai images of this one if any body is curious.

I just checked yesterday, and yep, it's all still there. I think I'll grab the fuel pressure pump, and bring it in and start washing it up in the parts washer. Can someone ID the application that the pump possibly was used for?

Question: Is there another common and domestically available wheel with the same bolt pattern as the FLU419/406/416? I would rather buy some cheaper, easier-to-find wheels to sacrifice for the low-ceiling carport passage application I have. Gotta' dig in the back yard, but access is only...

Thank you for your service, and the little visual from that time so long ago. We call it "getting short" just like we did when we were active duty. We use all the same jargon day to day as well, military courtesy, it's just natural. We're all veterans for the most part on my contract. Much...

Kermit gettin' some! That -looks- a little precarious there, but I'm sure you had that program down long before you attempted moving that heavy lathe. What's the poundage on that thing? 1000lbs? The lock-out doesn't sound that hard to make from your words, I've never seen an HMMH though...

Really appreciate your input both you guys. Butch, yeah, I'm aware to expect a certain challenge when learning to tilt the cab. I know in theory, they meant for the tilt feature to make engine access easier... seems the engineers got wrapped around the axle... and now I'll need to follow...

Copy that. Is there any one thing the machine does better than other machines, like the MB 94? Sounding like the machine is an absolute orphan red headed step child begging to be kicked out of the orphanage onto the cold street! Nonetheless, I'm still determined to learn, adapt and...

Very interesting. Thanks for the input, I have a Miller 625 Plasma and a Trailblazer 325. Had every intention of fabricating a number of things ...nut unlike Butch's winch mount there -will be looking forward to the "after" picture there with whatever monster winch you're gonna' mount up. So...

Wow, interesting info on the even rarer HMMH, thanks. Unfortunately I was asking about the attatch points for the Small Emplacement Excavator. I'll keep your insight in mind when the day comes that I actually see one.

Question: how universal is the front loader mount plate, as in, is it a one-off mount, useful only for the Schmidt FL-4? Can anyone confirm it's versatility? How about versatility of the rear mount point? Thanks for any intel here. Currently downloading and printing off 2000+ pages of 419...

Present!
