Unimog 406

[Thunderhog]

I know this is not a firearms topic but those people that know me realize that I enjoy playing with track layers, tractors etc. my latest toy is a 1983 Unimog 406, purchased in the UK I have only had her for a few weeks. She needs a lot of TLC, the previous owners have not been kind to her! She has a straight six diesel Mercedes engine, starts right up, only 1408 hours on her, 85 HP, 20 gear, gear box, 4x4 with diff locks, hydraulics and air, not air conditioning but air assisted brakes. Slowly working through a full service and then fitting her with a 10 ft Anderson Hydralic snow plough. She is not fast or quiet but I like her, going to have some fun with her.

Anyone reading this who has owned one or worked on one I would be interested in exchanging info.

I will post a few photos tomorrow if anyone is interested.

2 door or 4 door?....

Very cool. Congrats and have fun on your project. Would definitely like to see updates.


Now you just need a Pinzgauer to go with it.

Always wanted one specifically a 435 model, I like the squaredness.

just curious John, how much cheaper is the import vs buying one off kijiji here in Canada. (usually a couple on there)

[Spcamno]

Love the Unimogs always wanted one but too rich for my blood!

There is a Company called couch off road enginering in Denver and I think they built the Unimog for Magpul.
