Here's a video of my 411 helping to get a fall risk tree off of a branch holding it.

I'm looking for a buying guide for an 1300L, where are the usual weak points?

I already heard the portal axle and the gear set in it is an issue in the Army version of the Unimog, when not maintained properly, also the sealing of this ball joints (? I'm missing the translation here) on the axle.

Is there more 1300L specific that is prone to wear or needs frequent care, maintenance or checks?

just got her and don’t know a whole lot about them. i have literally no idea how it broke. possibly in transit. it says use brake fluid on the cap. brakes seem to work fine though. any help would be appreciated so i know what to ask my mechanic.

Looking for people to share what category is needed on a UK driving licence to drive one of these. Thanks

I’m thinking about getting a union of as a car carrying rig, does anyone have experience with lowering one? When I say lower I don’t mean like slammed but like about the ride height of 3500 or larger pickup

I'm looking at purchasing a 87' U1300L that's registered and titled on the east coast US. Does anyone here have a mog registered in WA and can provide any insight. Did you run into any issues? It's an ex German army vehicle but has been registered and titled in the states for several years. Any advice would be most appreciated.

I have a friend, cash buyer, looking for a good Ag spec unimog for farm operations.

Let me know what you have.

My husband bought a 1963 404 and he is wondering if anyone knows what the original seat covers are made of so he can look at restoring them.

He took the innards out yesterday and is wanting to fix the rusty springs and clean up the seat covers before re stuffing (what would that be with? lol )

But we can’t seem to find what the material is made of to be able to clean it without damaging it.

Thanks if anyone else knows!

I put the deposit down today, I’ll get it in a couple weeks or less depending on scheduling with the hotshot! Anyone know any drivers?

So I have one of those mercedes engines sitting in my boat, and I feel like this is the place to ask about them.

It starts great and runs just fine, it doesn't smoke overly much either. But that's hard to judge because the exaust is watercooled. Nor does it leak oil aside from the seal behind the flywheel sweating ever so slightly.

The issue is it uses A LOT of oil. I had to top up with with a smidge over a gallon after about 6 or 7 hours of running at at around 1700 rpm. The thing is that I am on the fence about rebuilding it because it is on the big side for the size of boat anyway but it does work.

I'd like to know of you aficionados are aware of any "common" reasons for using a lot of oil aside from the valvecover gasket? I haven't dug into it yet but I would like to know where to look next.
